If youre like a lot of gift givers,nding the perfect gift is thefun part. Its the wrapping thatties you in knots, from paperthat tears like tissue to pathetic

bows that would barely tie shoes. Butbefore you resort to those glittery bows-in-a-bag they fall off in the car anyway consider using a little DIY ingenuity

and making your gifts as personal onthe outside as they are on the inside. Tohelp out, weve rounded up a team ofgift wrapping experts who promise that,with just a little practice, youll have it allwrapped up in no time.

At Non(e)Such on Devine Street,elegant packages emerge from thewrapping room swathed in creamy paper

Its a Wrap!

and topped with picture-perfect satinbows. Owner Jean Davis Bruton saysthat while a bit of practice is essential,good materials such as thick paper andsharp scissors will make the job go a lotmore smoothly. High quality paper wonttear as easily on the corners, so you canpull it a little tighter and get a nice edge,

she notes.Linda Sims, who, with Mandy Duke,

ownsAll Wrapped Up at the Willowson Sunset Boulevard in Lexington,agrees. Excess paper creates lumpsand bulges, so after you wrap the paperaround the box to see how much youllneed, trim each end to reach a littlemore than halfway up the side. Sincethe folded aps on the sides meet in themiddle, youll cover the whole area. Foroddly-shaped packages, Sims suggestsgiving up on a box. Just cover the wholething in pretty tissue, then gather it into a

piece of clear cellophane. Put a bow atthe top and youre done.With their signature curly bows, often

in a urry of bright colors, gifts fromCarol Saunders Galleryon GervaisStreet are so distinctive that Saundersis sometimes asked by gift-givers whodont want to spoil the surprise not toadd the gorgeous ourish.

To get the look, staff members rstask for the recipients favorite color, andtie ribbon in that shade around a whitebox. Although most wrappers twist theribbon on the bottom of the package,staff member Elisabeth Christopher

explains that putting it on the top allowsthe gift to sit at on a table. The bowhides the knot, she says. But dont trimthe streamers. Youll need them to attachthe bow.

For the irty bows, gallery staffmembers grasp an end of satin ribbonand the ends of six or so varieties ofcurling ribbon together with one handwhile looping the ribbons above andbelow, making a sort of gure-eight, withthe thumb and index nger holding thewhole bunch in the middle. After four orsix turns, depending on how elaborate

youd like your bow to be, lay the bundleover the knot on the package and tie ittogether with the existing ribbon tails.Pull tight, but dont pop it, notesChristopher. For the nal touch, curl eachpiece of ribbon by pulling it gently butrmly between the open blade of a pairof scissors and your thumb. Add a cutegift card, and youre done.

Ribbons...Rena McLendon, of Carol Saunders Gallery, demonstrates how to wrap a gift in ribbon. From top left: 1.holding the gift box with the bottomdown, loop a length of ribbon around, allowing a couple of inches for tying off; 2.cross the ribbon and 3. bring the loop back to the front; 4. slip the end ofthe ribbon under the other and 5. tie off, leaving enough extra ribbon to use to attach a bow (see below). 6. the objective is to keep the ribbon smooth onthe bottom of the gift box.

...and bows.Elisabeth Christopher makes a bow. 1.Choose the types of ribbon you'd like to use and loop them in a gure eight that measures aboutsix inches across; 2.use the extra lengths of ribbon on the gift box to tie down the bow 3. use scissors to form curls of ribbon; uff out the bow with yourngers.

Sheri Carder Hood stopped wringing her hands inrustration when the economy turned downward reaching out to a ew o areas most talented artisansand crat makers to create Our Hands Togetherartisans market in Irmo, which just celebrated its frst

anniversary.The artisans market at 101 Ballentine Park Road sprouted

success quickly because shoppers have responded to andtold others about the array o well-made items ranging rom

jewelry and hair ornaments to fne urniture, quilts and otherdecor as well as novelty totes to carry them home in. But thecommunity spirit is its real ambiance.

This is so much more than a business, said Hood, who isstill dazzled each time one o the resident artisans brings in astash o new creations to replenish the shops shelves and wallspace. How they collaborate with and support each other their synergy is something I hadnt envisioned, but its whatmakes opening up each day such a delight.

When Bette Commander, who has a number o paintings inthe market, studied the crocheted items Catherine Sawyer andher mother display in their space, she got out her needles andcreated a purse rom strips o plastic grocery bags. Quilter JuliaBurns Belk bought the stylish bag rom Bette and now sticksnotes and design ideas or her next art quilt.

Even beore the artisans bonded like siblings, the market wasa amily aair. Sarah Newman-Norlund has her daughter Olivia,

who appears on the shops website, act as a spokeswoman,

voicing her opinion about Ducky Design creations beore hermother brings them to market. Some o the bracelets I makebecome avors or childrens birthday parties, said Newman-Norlund.

Newman-Norlund named her business ater a belovedchildhood toy, a stued duck her mother hand-stitched. Its one

o the ew things Ive kept through the years, she said.Jewelry making is a ar cry rom her frst career. I majored in

cognitive neuroscience and spent fve years in the Netherlandsdoing research ater graduate school. Thats where I gatheredmany o the beads I use in my work, Newman-Norland said.

Olga Yukhno, with her hand-crated ceramic creations,uses old-world artistry rom her native Russia with materialsattainable in her adopted world.

She combines techniques rom stained glass with metal work

and ceramics or larger pieces, creating delicate ossil-like shapesrom clay, painting them, then fring them twice in the kiln. Theprocess she developed results in conections that appear to beartiacts rom the past, deceptively ragile looking consideringtheir surprising strength. This winner o the 2006 International

Creative collective.Facing page, some of the artists who create items for Our Hands Together Artisan Market are, (clockwise from left) Olga Yukhno,Julia Burns Belk, Catherine Sawyer, Avery Fox, Sarah Newman-Norlund and Bette Commander.

Crafty lady.Sheri Hood is the owner of Our Hands Together artisan market, an Irmo store where artists and craftsmen are able to display and sell theirunique creations made locally.

Design Contest or traditional NationalCostumes in Moscow passes hertechniques along in classes she leadsat Crooked Creek Park as well as OurHands Together.

Bette Commander worked with sculpturewhile still in Caliornia, but transitioned topainting ater marrying South CarolinianRoy Commander and moving to the

Midlands. Im inspired by the people Iveseen since coming here; I especially lovecapturing their aces, said Commander.

Catherine Sawyer, whose knitted andcrocheted items catch shoppers eyes

frst, also makes photo note cards, manyo which were printed rom images shotunderwater on deep-water dives, some o

Australia. In my 21 years o diving, Ivestuck primarily in and around the CooperRiver and near the Topper (archeologicaldig) site in Allendale, but about a decadeago, I had the opportunity to dive o theGreat Barrier Ree. Ive been waiting toget back there ever since.

Like many o her ellow artisans in

the Ballentine marketplace, Sawyer uses

recycled materials when possible. Forstability this potholder is crochetedaround the plastic rings that holdtogether beverage packs, said Sawyer,

who began crocheting at age eight.Another cratsman who repurposes

materials is Avery Fox, creator obeuddling wooden puzzles, uniquebottle stoppers and distinctive writinginstruments. I began woodworking as ahobby, through classes, but I began using

wood that otherwise would end up askindling quite by accident literally.

Fox explained. Somehow a stump gotcaught between the back o my Dads

truck I was driving and the trailer itwas pulling. To ree the truck, we had toremove the stump, and when I cut intoit, I ound ame maple. I saved the woodand have used it or a number o projects,said Fox, turning around a pencil holderhe made to show o the red striationscoursing through the pale wood.

Now riends and amily call him whenthey have to prune or remove a tree,knowing that they wont be scrapped.

Right now I have a dogwood drying that

had to come out because it was blocking agate at a riends driveway, he said.Julia Belk would not reer to the cotton

abric she uses in her vibrant hand-stitchedart quilts as scraps either. For both herlarge art quilts, used as wall hangings, andsmaller childrens quilts, I am always onthe lookout or good abric and, luckily,I oten end up bartering materials, saidBelk, who described hersel as mostlysel-taught, but with a tutorial enduring 20

years. Her willingness to try something newrecently deerred to her granddaughter.She advised me to up-scale my hand-sewnowers and add more layers, more colors.

Belk enjoys the camaraderie among thecommunity o artisans participating in thecooperative market. We eed o eachother, learn rom each other. Every timeone o us brings in something new, weock around it to admire it and fgureout how they made it. We might taketheir idea and go a new way with it.

S

ummers heat subsides and the chill o a wintersday flls the air, marking the end o a colorulseason o blooms and growth.

But one reminder o warmth remains in yourgarden in the orm o willowy bands o rosemary.

Rosemary is a survivor in the South; in the Midlands, mosto the cultivars tolerate the short spates o cold and, in thesummer, endure drought conditions. Deep in the winter,some orms sport tiny blue blooms.

Rosemary is technically an herb, but it can grow up to oureet tall here, according to the Clemson Extension Service.

And its a perect alternative evergreen or the holidays indecor, in recipes and to help you relieve the stress rom amilygatherings and parties. And a rosemary Christmas tree can beplanted in the ground ater the holidays.

We ound some great uses or rosemary during theholidays:

In the medicine cabinet

1The Livestrong.com website recommends adding a ewdrops o rosemary essential oil to a simmering pot or

water or a vaporizer to help ease anxiety. Rosemary also ispurported to improve memory and ease aches and pains,although essential oil is not recommended to be ingested.

2Make a version o essential oil by placing a sprig in aclean jar, adding olive oil, and letting it steep on a sunnywindowsill or several weeks. Use it as a massage oil or bathoil.

3Steep a sprig o rosemary in some boiling water and sipas a tea.

Pulling into the parking lot at Daileys Feedand Supplies takes a visitor back in time.

Not all the way back to 1750, when thefrst Daileys showed up in the Dutch Forkarea, but maybe back to 1932, the year othe S.C. license plate on the chicken coop

out back, or 1952, the year on the Esso calendar on thewall in the small store by the road.

This place is timeless.Butch Dailey, 70, grew up on Kennerly Road, when

houses on this ridge just west o the Broad River had no

running water and everybody within miles around kneweach other. Usually, they were related Daileys, Ellisors,Lindlers.

Many o those ormer small arms now are largesubdivisions crammed with new houses. But the marcho development slows once Kennerly passes Old TamahRoad. Keep going past a ew bends in the road and youllspot a hand-painted sign: Daileys Feed and Supplies.

Most days, youll fnd Butch Dailey, 70, on the porch outront, sitting in his rocking chair, presiding over a businessthats less about making money than it is about maintaining alittle piece o the know-your-neighbors past. He wears a beat-up white cowboy hat, well-worn black boots, blue jeans and ablue work shirt. He sports a bushy grey beard and more greyhair on the sides and back o his noggin.

He likes to drink iced drinksout o a Styrooam cup. Whena Sams Club cup he was

Sit a spell.Butch and his son Michael spend some time reading the paper and talking outside their feed store one morning. The spot, lined with rockingchairs, is a favorite for friends who often stop just to have a soda and chat.

Early settlers.Some of Dailey's oldest ancestors are buried acrossthe street from his feed store. The cemetery is just a small walk from where

Butch would visit his great grandparents. According to family records, The

Daileys were one of the rst to settle in the area around 1750.

and carry on, Butch says. Youd think thats a $100 bird bath.When Butch was growing up in a house across the street,

there were only 11 houses in a two-mile radius. He documentedthe number to a visitor by listing the houses rom memory.

O course we knew everybody, he says. Im naming thehouses, and I knew all the people in them, too.

Butch, who worked or 28 years driving an 18-wheeler orSouthland Log Homes, opened his frst eed store in 1994 ina rented building on a busy road closer to I-26. Ater a ew

years o paying rent, he realized I could just get out o the eedbusiness and save that $900 (rent) and be richer.

So he moved his store to his small arm on Kennerly next tohis home. The location has less customer trafc, but no rent.

I I make 50 cents, itll go into my pocket, Butch says. I Idont sell but one bag o seed a month, I can sit here on thisporch and enjoy it.

The Daileys sell a ew bags o eed and ertilizer each day tothe remaining armers in the region. They also sell lots o sotdrinks to olks who stop by just to sit on the porch and talk.

A regular crew spends aternoons on the small porch solvingthe worlds problems. On an ideal porch-sitting day in October,they were particularly concerned about the public bus systemand government waste in general. They have little use orbuses, since they dont come up this way, and even less use or

A xture.Adell Butch Dailey, 70, runs Dailey's Feed and Supplies on Kennerly Road in Irmo. The store is on land that has been in the Dailey familysince 1750.

It is. Butch plants a ew rows o mustard greens each year justto give away.

A ew years ago, he also started staging a fsh ry to show hisappreciation or his customers. About 15 or 20 chowed down onree fsh and hush puppies that frst year. Its grown to about 50people.

We start eating at 12 and keep serving until we run out,Butch says.

Asked i the store, about the size o a large bedroom, is big

enough, ather and son answer simultaneously, Butch saying yes,Michael saying no.

Butch explains his stance.

I never intended to reach Wal-Mart size. Im happy with whatwe have here.

to live under the store, but theres noevidence its ever ventured inside. No

holes in eed sacks.But I opened the door this morning

and got run over by a wren, Michaelsays. As soon as she saw the light, she

was out.In addition to the store, the Daileys

raise cows, hogs and chickens to sell ormeat and eggs. They grow hay or theirlivestock and vegetables and ruit mostlyor their personal use.

Growing up, We were poor, but we

didnt know it, Butch says.His childhood home had no running

water or indoor bathroom. We used togo down to the spring on the tractor andbring up a couple o barrels o water a

week, he says.The Daileys dug a well in 1949. Went

down 75 eet and got enough water to

supply their amily and a neighbor. Theyfnally got an indoor bathroom in 1951.

He did sell three acres and his house(not the old amily house, but a newerbrick one) on Kennerly a ew years ago tohelp pay or the log home he built urtherback on the property. That was the only

way he could aord the log house withoutgoing into debt, and hes not comortableowing somebody or some bank.

The log home is on a rise in thecenter o his property, with a large porchoering a view down on an open feldringed by hardwoods on the other side.

Right there is where I like to sit everymorning and read my Bible right as thesun comes up, Butch says. Its so quiet,

you can eel about as close to God rightthen as i he was sitting right beside you.

Some o the small chicken coopsand cow barns around the house have

log siding to match it. A radio playsthroughout the day in the work shed,tuned to a local religious station. A waterline runs rom an old beer keg into one othe chicken coops, where an old Meetzeor County Council sign orms an inside

wall.The 20 old laying chickens provide

only about fve eggs a day now. Butch isbreaking in a younger batch o egg-layers

who should soon be more productive.Where yall at? he screams and about

two dozen chickens hustle out o theircoop, ready or him to toss out severalhandsul o eed.

The Dailey operation has beenhonored as a Century Farm because itsbeen in the same amily or more than100 years. I Butchs descendants ollowhis wishes, itll stay that way another 100

years.It saddens Butch to see the

grandchildren o his old Dutch Forkriends sell their land to developers.

When people inherit land, theyve gotsomething, he said. When they sell theland, theyve got money. But when theyspend the money, theyve got nothinagain. Theres nothin let.

Like most o us, Charles

Webber and Furman Millergauge success based on

whether theyre gettingcloser to Prosperity.

Only their Prosperitystarts with a capital letter,and its an actual, on-the-map place, not a fnance-related goal.

Webber and Miller years agovolunteered to coordinate the conversiono an old railroad line into a rail-trail

stretching 11.5 miles between theNewberry County towns o Peak andProsperity. (Ofcially, its the Peak toProsperity Passage o the statewidePalmetto Trail under the auspices o thePalmetto Conservation Foundation.)

They started close to the middle, inPomaria, and worked back east to Peakon an old railroad line. The projectsmost picturesque portion is the renovatedbridge over the Broad River, whichactually stretched the eastern end o thesection past Peak to the Fairfeld Countycommunity o Alston.

Opened in bits and pieces as thevolunteers and various sponsors put newdecks on 14 wooden trestles over CrimsCreek, most o the 6.5-mile Phase 1 romPomaria to Peak has been open to hikersand bikers or a ew years.

This all, another nearly 2.5-milesection is near completion west oPomaria to Koon Trestle Road. You canhike or bike it now, but you might noticesome construction areas around the lasto the small bridges.

Employees rom WestinghouseElectric, Shaw Group and SCANA (thethree partners in the construction o thenew nuclear power units at nearby V.C.Summer Nuclear Station) decked one othe trestles in that section. Funds wereraised to pay or the decking o anothertrestle to honor outdoorsman and traillover Doug Phillips.

Those eorts are typical o theway Webber and Miller have worked,rounding up workers and unds any

way they can. Some o the trestles and

overlooks have been fxed as part o EagleScout projects.Next on the agenda is replacing the

deck on Koon Trestle, one o the tallestalong the section. When that is done and theres no set timetable yet onlyminor trail clearing will be required topush the open section under I-26, past

Mid-Carolina Country Club to Highway773. While thats Prosperity accordingto the U.S. Postal Service, its still a ewmiles rom the ultimate goal o downtownProsperity.

Barring an unexpected large donationo unds and labor, the trail will end atKoon Trestle Road through this winterand spring.

The section just opened rom Pomariato Koon Trestle might be the easiestsection to walk and bike so ar. The rocksused years ago as oundation or rails arecompacted better in this section than inmany areas east o Pomaria. Compactrocks put less strain on hikers ankles andless resistance on bikers tires. (Its stillnot suited to skinny-tire road bikes.)

I

ts Christmas all year long at thehome o Bob and Kay Keener,

who live along the south shoreo Lake Murray.

A plaque, We Believe inSanta Claus, is displayed

permanently on the wall above theopening rom the great room to thekitchen to remind olks that Christmascomes here every day.

We never tire o Christmas, Kaysaid. Christmas is a un time o the year.People are more riendly and open.

And so, each November, the Keenersstart decorating or riends and amily

who love to visit their Christmaswonderland.

We have always enjoyed decorating

or the holidays rom when we werefrst married 39 years ago, but we reallystarted collecting Christmas treasures inearnest probably in the late 80s, Kaysaid.

Every year, the Keeners add to theircollection o ornaments and collectibles.I we fnd something we like, (webuy it), Kay said. We have severalcollections.

Some are amily ornaments. Over theyears we have shared collections withamily and riends as our interests havemoved in a new direction.

Each ornament or collectible is totallydierent, and every single one meanssomething Bob said. The fnal thing isthat they are pretty.

Inside the home, there are ourtrees, including one that rotates at thetop o the stairs on the second oor, asmall Snowing Tree where snowcontinuously alls and a decorated penciltree showcasing egg ornaments. Thereare clocks that play Christmas music andelves, angels and Santas everywhere.

And o course, stockings hang on themantle, including those or their currenttwo toy poodles, Barkley and Petey, andones or Mr. Tyke and Pepper, their twopoodles they lost in 2005. A one-o-a-kind centerpiece rom Biltmore House (AGit Horse) completes the dining roomtable.

Outside, wreathes garner the house andSanta and snowmen welcome visitors atthe ront entrance.

Inside, their home is adorned with120 Mark Roberts pieces, including 109Christmas airies and our Mark RobertsSantas. There are also 32 hand-madeSantas by Marina Cantlon (Charactersby Marina) and a collection o pencilSantas by Lenox.

There are some 1,000 ornaments onthe Santa Tree in the living room, and

while placing them is a labor o love, itis also a challenge that takes a couple odays.

There are several metal ornamentdisplay trees with one dedicated tocloisonne ornaments. Each ornamenton the Cloisonne Tree is special. One oKays avorites is an articulated dragon.

We have been collecting our cloisonneornaments or years and always look orthose that are unusual, Kay said. We are

into celebrations, riends and relatives.We never tire o Christmas.

The Keeners also decorate andcelebrate other holidays and specialtimes with riends and amily at theirlake home on July Fourth and LaborDay. Everybody looks orward to thosecelebrations on the lake with good oodand ellowship.

Bob, a retired Army colonel, and Kay,who worked or NASA, lived in NorthernVirginia beore they moved to the lake.When he was stationed at Fort Jacksonyears earlier, he discovered the beauty

o Lake Murray. The Keeners liked theproximity to amenities and a militarybase, the good opportunities or boatingand fshing and special riendliness oSouth Carolinians.

In 1972, they visited South Carolinaon a Thanksgiving weekend and througha real estate agent, ound and bought thelot on Lake Murray that would become

(in July), it picked up or a while thenwent back down.The eedback has been that diners love

the decor amazingly done in 36 hoursand or less than $10,000 by designerKrista Watterworth and a large sta butnot the prices on the new menu. Dinnerentrees are in the $15 to $17 range.

The Spencers plan to pare down themenu, getting rid o a couple o thehigher-priced items (chicken shepherdspie and chicken and waes) and reducingthe price on other popular items suchas the pork chop and apple stu. Otherchanges to the menu could include more

vegetables and more varieties o meatdishes.

The menu also includes nine varietieso sweet tea rom standard to lemonginger to pomegranate to vodka andlemon.

Christine Spencer believes RestaurantImpossible che Robert Irvine menusuggestions didnt account or Chapinssmall-town tastes. Otherwise, theexperience with the show was a blast.
