Southern Oaks’ The Tallow House Joins 2nd Sunday at the VIP Tent

May 3, 2026Beauty, ShoppingSusan Lucas

There’s something special about discovering a product crafted by hand, rooted in tradition, and born from a genuine desire to do things better. That’s exactly what’s waiting for guests at the 2nd Sunday on King Street VIP tent this month, where Southern Oaks’ The Tallow House will be showcasing their line of pure, small-batch tallow skincare.

Southern Oaks products are built on grass-fed beef tallow — an ingredient your great-grandmother would have recognized, and one that modern skin science is rediscovering with good reason. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, tallow absorbs deeply, nourishes without fillers or harsh chemicals, and is gentle enough for the whole family.

The 2nd Sunday VIP tent is all about connecting our community with local makers who put their hearts into what they create. Whether you’re a longtime tallow convert or brand new to the concept, stop by, say hello, and experience the difference that clean, thoughtfully crafted skincare can make.

Only at 2nd Sunday: Connecting Memories, Wood Art Blocks

March 7, 2026Susan Lucas

Available at Tate Nation Gallery 257 King Street

What if the most important photographs in your life didn’t live in a drawer or on a phone — but were displayed like the art they actually are? Most of us have photographs, ticket stubs, a child’s drawing, a pressed flower — pieces of a life well-lived — sitting in a box somewhere. Or buried in a camera roll. Never seen. Never honored.

These blocks change that.

Each one is handcrafted by a master woodworker from beautiful, carefully selected and recycled woods — no two are exactly alike. The grain, the warmth, the weight in your hands — you feel the craftsmanship immediately.

The slots are designed to hold photographs, small prints, art pieces and paper goods. But here’s what makes them truly different: the offsets. The slots aren’t flush — they’re staggered, creating space for something dimensional. A folded note. A small keepsake. A piece of sea glass. A charm. A memory that has shape.

It’s not a frame. It’s not a shelf. It’s something entirely its own.

The heart of it: every single purchase benefits the Alzheimer’s Association. We called this project Connecting Memories — because that’s exactly what it does—on two levels. It connects you to the memories you treasure most. And it connects all of us to the mission of fighting a disease that steals memory from the people we love. Chances are, you know someone who has—or has died from—Alzheimer’s or another dementia. This is one small, beautiful way to fight back — and display something meaningful while you do it.

These make extraordinary gifts for:

Parents and grandparents — give them a place to display what they love most.

New parents — capture and display those first fleeting months in something lasting.

Anyone grieving — a gentle, dignified way to hold someone’s memory.

The person who has everything — because they don’t have this.

They’re priced as the handmade art objects they are. And they ship beautifully.

You can pick up a frame anywhere. But this — this was made by hand, from real wood, by someone who cares about the craft. It holds what matters. And it gives back. Which wood speaks to you? Just $24. Completely to Alzheimer’s. Available at Tate Nation Gallery. 257 King Street.

Woodturner of the Year visits 2nd Sunday

March 4, 2026Susan Lucas

Paul Courtwright was named Woodturner of the Year by the American Association of Woodturners. And, he’s passing through Charleston this weekend, stopping just long enough to share his skills and excellent products at 2nd Sunday on King Street.

Paul’s love of woodturning led him to spend hours on the lathe, honing his knowledge of the craft, attending shows and loading videos on to his YouTube channel, Wood Chip Woodworking. Don’t miss the opportunity to pick up pieces of Paul’s work while he’s in town!
