House of Nomad Charleston will be a design moment in itself with a Moroccan-inspired archway adorning the center of the store. Through the archway, guests will find a build-your-own basket wall workshop, furniture and an entire wall dedicated Turkish and Moroccan rugs.

About House of Nomad
House of Nomad was founded on the idea that travel fosters so many amazing things – inspiration, creativity, relationships, experiences. On the design side, House of Nomad is always thinking in the mindset of the inspired traveler while maintaining the client’s personal touch – mixing old pieces and family heirloom pieces, with newer pieces, eclectic patterns, textures, and color. On the shop side, House of Nomad is still thinking in the mindset of the inspired traveler with an emphasis on telling the stories of the cultures they source from. When they are choosing the countries they travel to for shop sourcing, it’s all based on a personal connection or yearning that they have to know more about a particular culture or place. They then hope that their customers feel that connection to those cultures and artisans, too.
It’s serendipitous that two native North Carolinians, both with a desire to travel to every corner of the world, would meet and form both a business and a friendship after many years of crossing paths and traveling to the same places. From the moment their studio opened in 2017, the duo quickly became the go-to source for clients looking for eclectic, contemporary style- not to mention, Kelley and Berkeley’s travel-oriented design method. With each trip together, they would cart back with them new textiles, baskets, pillows, throws and other finds unique to the various cultures and villages they visited. In 2019, they expanded their love of bringing their travel finds into people’s homes with the opening of the flagship House of Nomad shop in Charlotte, NC. In October 2020, they are expanding with a new storefront in Charleston, SC.

History
Imagine an old wooden desk, small file cabinet, a black rotary phone and a small wood stove to keep warm on those cold wintery nights in this historic building. But before the “World’s Smallest Police Station” became a police station in 1940, it was the town well. The area behind the police station is known as the cotton yard. It’s called this because it was used as a staging area for cotton farmers bringing their cotton into town to be loaded on the train for shipment. Before farmers would leave town, they would pull their wagons up to the well to water their mules and oxen. Some residents can remember when cotton farmers were lined up from the cotton gin, located in the building behind Ruff Hardware, south on Palmer Street over the railroad bridge.
In 1940, as part of the old WPA project, the well was covered up and the “World’s Smallest Police Station” was born and served several officers until 1990 when the current police station opened up. The “new” station was formerly the Town’s garage and housed a tractor and equipment for Ridgeway’s Water and Sewer Department. Before that, the building was Ridgeway’s fire station housing one truck. After remodeling and renovation, you can see that the Police Department has doubled in size.
Infamous Moments
The old police station has had its share of the spotlight in the last several years. You might have seen it in the 1989 film “Staying Together”, starring Stockard Channing, Sean Alston, Tim Quill, and Daphne Zuniga which was filmed in Ridgeway.
On June 25, 2006, it was host to the world as the Centennial Olympic Torch Relay made an official rest stop in front of the “World’s Smallest Police Station”.
Former Officers
The following is a list of former police officers who have worked out of the old police station. The list was compiled by memory from some of Ridgeway’s residents. Every effort was made to include everyone who called the police station “home”.

Meet Elizabeth, founder, and owner of Scraps of Magic who has created a unique concept in shopping for a very special and specialized population of the Lowcountry, the tween girl. Let us learn a little bit more about Scraps of Magic directly from Elizabeth:
As a mom of a tween, I’ve always had trouble finding cute, age appropriate clothes for my daughter. The market for tween and teen clothing is very limited. Everything I saw was either too “little girl” looking, way too mature, or covered in glitter and logos and cheaply made. I decided to solve this need for myself and other parents of tweens and teens by starting Scraps of Magic. We carry well-made, age appropriate clothing from reputable brands like Splendid, Ella Moss, Bella Dahl, Habitual Girl, Chance Loves Swim, For All Seasons, Hayden and more. Our boutique in Charleston has new arrivals you won’t see on the website! Shop locally at 237 King Street, Unit D, Charleston SC 29401 -Elizabeth

Mt. Pleasant, SC – Landing Contemporary Art is pleased to present the online exhibition Alison Underwood: Concealed Objects, opening October 8th with an online Member Preview on October 6th. The exhibition will feature a series of 15 collages from emerging mixed media artist Alison Underwood.
In Concealed Objects, Underwood presents viewers with images of objects that have familiar elements, yet leave much to the imagination. They are as uncanny as they are aesthetic; a melange of textures and shapes that are at once self-contained and yet, ready to explode. At a time when life feels so chaotic, these works beg the viewer to slow down and question what it is they are seeing and what lies beneath the surface.
To create this series, Underwood collaged imagery from fashion advertisements found in mainstream magazines. In this way, she transforms the lifeblood of consumer culture into a universe of mysterious objects that oscillate between anthropomorphism and symbols you might see on an album cover. The objects embody a palpable tension that stem from the desire to uncover their truth and a longing to cling to their mystery. This a signature feeling we have come to associate with Underwood’s recent work, which was also evidenced in her last show, “The impossibility of never.” Among the concealed objects, you might find a country, a planet, a heart, or a weapon. We ask you to look at them as you look at the clouds. The longer you look, the more you will see.
In the artist’s own words: “Although the works are primarily process-driven, I’ve considered some of them to be what I refer to as ‘concealed objects.’ Many appear to have some indiscernible structure underneath the shifting waves of fabric. Of course, these are two-dimensional images. There is no veil to be pulled back. The viewer is left to decipher or invent what can not be revealed. Curiosity, mystery, desire, these all exist on the precipice of knowledge. These works hover there.”

Covelli Enterprises, the largest franchisee of Panera Bread, has launched its annual Pink Ribbon Bagel campaign today, October 1st in participating Charleston Panera Bread locations in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For the whole month of October, a portion of the proceeds from Pink Ribbon Bagel sales will be donated to the Roper St. Francis Foundation. After a decade of ‘going pink’, the company is emphasizing the impact the campaign has had on the community since the annual Pink Ribbon Bagel sales began.
Since 2010, Covelli Enterprises has raised $6.5 million to support breast cancer programs in the communities it serves. Funds donated to partner organizations have been used to open new comprehensive breast cancer facilities, purchase mobile mammography units with 3D technology, develop education and outreach programs, provide transportation and assistance for those undergoing treatment, and support life-saving research for advancements in cancer treatment.
The breakthroughs funded through the Pink Ribbon Bagel campaign have changed the quality of breast care, allowing more women access to the early detection, rapid treatment, and interdisciplinary care proven to decline breast cancer mortality rates. In other words, Panera’s Pink Ribbon Bagel campaign, in conjunction other company fundraising efforts, has brought about positive change in breast cancer outcomes where Covelli owns restaurants and beyond.
“Our company has always made it a priority to give back to the communities that we serve,” said Sam Covelli, Owner/Operator of Covelli Enterprises. “With the millions of dollars raised through our Pink Ribbon Bagel campaign over the last decade, we have helped to save lives of local individuals fighting breast cancer. We are so thankful for our wonderful customers who have contributed to the cause over the years. Our pink ribbon bagels truly are more than dough.”
Panera Bread is encouraging customers to take a photo with their Pink Ribbon Bagels to share their support for the cause on social media using #morethandough. The cafes are now accepting pre-orders for bagels at www.covelli.com/gopink.
Funds will also be collected throughout October at the registers of the 5 Panera cafes in Charleston through the company’s Change Round-up Program. Through the program, customers may round up their order total to the nearest dollar amount to support the cause.
The Pink Ribbon Bagel, shaped in the form of the iconic pink ribbon, features cherry chips, dried cherries and cranberries, vanilla, honey, and brown sugar, and is baked fresh each morning by Panera’s bakers at each cafe.
