The ABCs of Collecting

by

ABC plates don’t just hold food—they also serve up an education. “They were made to teach children about values and life,” says collector Neil Palmer of North Little Rock’s Crystal Hill Antique Mall. Rimmed with the alphabet and decorated with maxims and inspirational sayings, ABC plates transformed every meal into a learning experience.


First produced in the 19th century in Staffordshire, England, they were later fashioned in the United States, mostly in the Ohio region, and contemporary-looking versions are still in production today. Palmer’s white earthenware collection holds true to the plates’ Staffordshire roots, originating in the late 1800s when prominent potters like A. Shaw & Son and J. & G. Meakin exported their goods around the world.

Summertime in Eureka Springs

by

The city of Eureka Springs can officially claim it was born on the Fourth of July. Founded and named on July 4, 1879, Eureka Springs is an ideal place to celebrate summer by soaking in history, taking in sites and cooling off in the Ozark Mountains or abundant waterways nearby (Beaver Lake and the Kings and White Rivers, to name a few). The mountainside city is chock full of charming shops, art galleries, restaurants and lodging tucked into 19th century structures, earning the entire downtown a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. To guide you in your travels, we’ve recommended a few of our favorite places to shop, eat or stay, and some highlights to check out along the way.

Arkansas’ Best Renovation: Robin and Steve Mangan, Little Rock

by

The Goal:  

Unify the main living areas of their Little Rock home–the living room, dining room and kitchen–to create one large open room. The Mangans wanted the ability to cook, entertain and spend time with friends and family all within close proximity, which was not possible in the original divided floor plan. “This renovation helped us make the most of the entire space,” says Robin.

Arkansas’ Best One-Room Makeover: Jerusalem Greer, North Little Rock

by

The Goal: Create a family-friendly dining room in the cottage she shares with her husband, Nathan, and sons, Wylie and Miles, updating the space with minimal expense.

 

What she did:

Jerusalem’s makeover of the 180-square-foot dining room in her Park Hill neighborhood home began with a furniture trade. “A good friend and I traded dining tables,” she says. “I needed one that was long and narrow. She needed one that was slightly shorter and wider. Always thrift-minded, we hatched the perfect scheme, and opted to trade.”
