46 A Home Away for the Holidays
Three siblings and their families return to Wrightsville
Beach for special occasions and holidays. Together
they share a 1940s era cottage between the bridges.
Tip-toe through the Davis Cottage and see how they
transformed a year-round home into a second home
away from the hubbub. By Marimar McNaughton
58 Wonderful Winter
The chimney where Santa Claus arrives, the fireplace
where New Year’s toasts are made, the hearth where
families and friends gather on winter weekends—it’s
brrr outside and nothing warms the spirit like a roaring
blaze. By Shannon Darrough

Purdy, purdy, purdy, the song of our state bird is

their fleeting appearance brightens the landscape
throughout the year. By Allison Potter & Teresa Kramer
32 Sneak Away
Treat yourself and that special someone to a weekend
getaway to Raleigh and tumble into the lap of luxury and
culture at The Umstead Hotel and Spa. Our two-day, twonight
itinerary will keep you busy sampling all of winter’s
wonders, fine art, national sports and fabulous food that
our state capital offers. By Karen Fuller

participates in Junior Achievement. From kindergarten
through high school business professionals and educators
team up to mentor kids and teens as they prepare for a
successful economic future. By Tyler Roberts
The cover shot was one of the last images of the day, waiting for the light to fall off enough to
get the warm glow from the windows. Susan Covington and Jennifer Rose-Sandy’s great styling
abilities helped to create a classic Christmas image. — Joshua Curry
