What a wonderful tribute you hav...Greetings Emily,<br /><br />What a wonderful tribute you have given Mr. Hirsch and his creation The Little Dancer with your statement, "Mr. Hirsh's endearing creation became a great source of comfort and companionship in my youth."<br /><br />Mr. and Mrs. Hirsch both stated that the benefactor of the Children's Fountain wished to remain anonymous, which is why no name was added by Mr. Hirsch in his inscription on the statue. <br /><br />However as you mention, Miss Sally Carrington was reported as the donor in a published source at the time fountain was installed. What a wonderful gift she and Mr. Hirsch have given to children of all ages in Charleston. Hopefully this information will be added in a plaque on the fountain at some point, so their contribution to "the Children of Charleston" will be appropriately recognized and appreciated in the future.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />Warm regards,<br /><br />Kay Schneider<br /><br /><br />Katherine Muschick Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326709786215862656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4928140380497602867.post-33072081330892952372017-02-08T19:31:36.186-08:002017-02-08T19:31:36.186-08:00The Little Dancer figures prominently in my youth ...The Little Dancer figures prominently in my youth -she was literally my imaginary playmate and often I'd twirl round her as if we were on stage in a pas de deux. I believe Miss Sally Carrington commissioned Hirsch in 1962 and donated to it to the children of Charleston (thus the mounting on low base, so children could easily access a grateful sip of cooling water.)<br /><br />I've yet to retrieve this News & Courier, May 3 1962 article as referenced in Wikipedia: "White Point Gardens to Get New Fountain," but it may very well reveal more information. <br /><br />All the best to you and your gracious endeavors. Mr. Hirsh's endearing creation became a great source of comfort and companionship in my youth. "The Little Dancer" is symbolic in my memoir as well, "A Life in the Years of Her Mind."<br /><br />Sincere regards, <br />Emily Benedict Gascoyne<br /><br />http://emilybenedictgascoyne.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4928140380497602867.post-86177732429287628292016-02-29T18:51:05.606-08:002016-02-29T18:51:05.606-08:00Thanks Emily.

It belonged to my aunt, Mrs. Nell Murray Frain, a Charlestonian who had a collection of art collected during he lifetime. She was a long time resident of Washington, DC. This sculpture shows four girls dancing around, and she wanted me to have it because it reminded her of my four girls. Any info wdill be appreciated.

Typical of Charleston architectural design, the mansion appeals to many people who enjoy classic old world architectural details from the 1700s much like what you can see in <a href="http://searchrealestate.co/downtown-charleston-sc/" rel="nofollow">Downtown Charleston</a>. <br /><br />The homes and establishments in Charleston SC, follow a "southern" feel, with a lot of simple design elements: such as classic muted colors, hardwood floors, and features true to the roots of vintage Southern charm.<br /><br />With oak trees around, the place will give you this feeling that you are traveling back in time.James Schillerhttp://searchrealestate.co/downtown-charleston-scnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4928140380497602867.post-25017877622247109462013-09-09T15:47:06.201-07:002013-09-09T15:47:06.201-07:00Thanks, Amelia.

Two series of "Lowcountry Landscapes" I have painted are also available as note cards sold at the Sewee Outpost in Awendaw, SC. <br /><br />Next month, selected artworks of mine will be on display at the historic Santee Gun Club Clubhouse at Santee Coastal Reserve – a wildlife preserve managed by South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. <br /><br />I'm also considering having my artwork displayed in Charleston's historic district. The location and contact information for the venue will be available on my website later. <br /><br />I'll be happy to provide additional information to you and your wife about any of my artworks available on my blog and website.<br /><br />Thanks again for your interest in my artwork and kind remarks.<br /><br />Katherine SchneiderKatherine Muschick Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326709786215862656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4928140380497602867.post-12165813870754928502013-04-19T21:19:18.481-07:002013-04-19T21:19:18.481-07:00My wife and I travel through Charleston every year...My wife and I travel through Charleston every year on our way to our favorite north Myrtle Beach hotels.
