Elizabeth Lawrence

This powerhouse duo distills their combined wisdom into an essential resource for creating rooms of enduring beauty. With academic rigor and characteristic charm, Williams and Lawrence describe their unique approach to every commission with insights from collaborations with clients, architects, landscape designers, and a variety of trusted artisans. Interiors are arranged to inspire. They showcase the firm's breadth and creativity while revealing the underlying principles that make spaces work: how to layer pattern and texture, achieve perfect scale, juxtapose old and new, and balance formality with comfort. Throughout, personal anecdotes and hard-won advice illuminate the philosophy behind the choices, encouraging the reader to create interiors that transcend trends. How to marry an 18th-century berg re with a contemporary coffee table, why an old armchair gains new life in a bold modern fabric, what makes a battered farm table the anchor of an elegant dining room. As they put it, "a trained eye is the ability to see beyond surface beauty, to recognize proportion, authenticity, patina, and potential." This approach--valuing what endures, reimagining what exists--is inherently sustainable, a philosophy of refinement over replacement that creates interiors of lasting character and personal meaning. Mirroring the textural layering of their spaces, the cloth-bound book features alternating signatures of coated and uncoated stocks interspersed with gatefolds that highlight immersive views with extraordinary detail. The book itself is a master class in design.

No sooner had she got back down and replaced the knife into the hidden pocket, than the main door to the corridor of cells opened... A very tall, intimidating man stood there, surveying them with a stern expression. He wore the most beautiful red velvet cape covered in crystals. His eyes were evil. They seemed to pierce her very soul, and they were jet black with the slightest tinge of red. His name, Milieul. With her second novel in a thrilling series, Elizabeth Lawrence invites readers to delve deeper into her dark and mysterious world. With heart-pounding action, relationships, and intrigue, "The Red Vampire" is a must-read for fans of supernatural fiction.

We are not alone on this planet of ours. Creatures that we considered fantasy were in fact real and living under our very noses and had been since the beginning of humanity. Michael was hungry, his body and his powers were weak, he needed to eat. He had long since forgotten how far he had come or how long he had been walking. Michael knew he was almost where he needed to be, he could smell it in the air...it felt familiar.

Elizabeth Lawrence (1904–85) is recognized as one of America’s most important gardeners and garden writers. In 1957, Lawrence began a weekly column for the Charlotte Observer, blending gardening lore and horticultural expertise gained from her own gardens in Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina, and from her many gardener friends. This book presents 132 of her beloved columns. Never before published in book form, they were chosen from the more than 700 pieces that she wrote for the Observer over fourteen years.Lawrence exchanged plants and gardening tips with everyone from southern “farm ladies” trading bulbs in garden bulletins to prominent regional gardeners. She corresponded with nursery owners, everyday backyard gardeners, and literary luminaries such as Katharine White and Eudora Welty. Her books, including A Southern Garden, The Little Bulbs, and Gardens in Winter, inspired several generations of gardeners in the South and beyond.The columns in this volume cover specific plants, such as sweet peas, hellebores, peonies, and the bamboo growing outside her living-room window, as well as broader topics including the usefulness of vines, the importance of daily pruning, and organic gardening. Like all of Lawrence’s writing, these columns are peppered with references to conversations with neighbors and quotations from poetry, mythology, and correspondence. They brim with knowledge gained from a lifetime of experimenting in her gardens, from her visits to other gardens, and from her extensive reading.Lawrence once wrote, “Dirty fingernails are not the only requirement for growing plants. One must be as willing to study as to dig, for a knowledge of plants is acquired as much from books as from experience.” As inspiring today as when they first appeared in the Charlotte Observer, the columns collected in Beautiful at All Seasons showcase not only Lawrence’s vast knowledge but also her intimate, conversational writing style and her lifelong celebration of gardens and gardening.

As readers and critics around the country agree, any new book by the renowned garden writer Elizabeth Lawrence is like finding a buried treasure. A Rock Garden in the South will not disappoint. Released posthumously, this book is not only a welcome addition to the Lawrence canon, but fills an important gap in the garden literature on the middle South.Lawrence, in her usual exquisite prose, deals with the full range of rock gardening topics in this work. She addresses the unique problem of cultivating rock gardens in the South, where the growing season is prolonged and humidity and heat are not conducive to such planting. She describes her own experiences in making a rock garden, with excellent advice on placing stones, constructing steps, ordering plants, and making cuttings.At the same time, what she writes about here is in large part of interest to gardeners everywhere and for gardens with or without rocks. As always, she thoroughly discusses the plants she has tried-recommending bulbs and other perennials of all sorts, annuals, and woody plants-with poetic descriptions of the plants themselves as well as specific and useful cultural advice. A Rock Garden in the South includes an encyclopedia of plants alphabetized by genus and species and divided into two parts: wood and non-woody plants.
