Head Shot by Brenda Carpenter

November is here and harvest season is in full swing. It’s a month that slowly builds momentum for the holiday season to begin. We start thinking about where we will be for Thanksgiving, what we will be making and hopefully which family and friends we’ll be surrounded by. For the last few years I have been invited to a pre-Thanksgiving dinner party where a group of close friends get together a week prior to the holiday and share in a special evening to reflect on what we are most thankful for in the last year of our lives. It’s a very unique and intimate moment that always tends to put life in full perspective surrounded by a supportive group of friends.

In my perspective, as long as you are loved, your health is on your side and your friends/family are there for you, than you live a very abundant life. But why is it that we only tend to really put an emphasis on what we are grateful for around the Thanksgiving holiday versus the rest of the year? It surely is something that we should try harder to consider doing on a more regular basis. Finding gratitude in the small things in life can truly fulfill your days so much more. I am grateful to the Wayne community for being so supportive and embracing this publication in such a generous way. Many thanks to all of you. In this special issue to kick off the holiday season, Wayne Magazine offers a special timeline for Thanksgiving so the cook in the house doesn’t see the meal as a daunting task. We cover a special editorial feature on all the wonderful things that the Radnor Conservancy is doing to make this a better community to live in. We include a new decorating story, (written by the owner of Interiors for the Home), on ways to better transition your home from one season to the next. There is also a special article on Balée Antiques featuring their new and larger location in Eagle Village Shops. It’s an interesting and fun filled issue for all of you to enjoy.

I wish each of you a Happy Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter and full bellies. Until next month!

Sincerely,

DOG OF THE MONTHby Laurie Wightman

dog of themonth

November’s

Meet Tala, one of the most well-known dogs around Wayne these days. This purebred Boxer may possibly be the best greeter any doctor’s office could ask for. If you are a

patient of Strafford Chiropractic and Healing Center, located at 136 W. Wayne Avenue, then you are one of the fortunate individuals to encounter this utterly adorable pup who will warmly nuzzle right up to you as soon as you walk through the doors of this practice. If you’re not a patient, well…figure out a way to become one so you may simply have the opportunity to be around such a joyful dog with the sweetest demeanor.

Dr. Jenn Hartman, owner of both the practice and Tala, came about finding the fun loving boxer at Christmas time back in Chicago when she was only 5 months old. The name Tala means “Wolf ” in Native American, and the wolf is the loyal protector in their culture. Eight years later this lovable dog still gallivants around town as if she were still a puppy. An interesting trait that makes Tala unique is her inherent intuition to match someone else’s personality. If the individual is playful and energetic, she’ll play endlessly with that person. In the same regard, if she encounters a docile person she will cuddle right up to their leg and wait for them to pet her. You can learn a lot about people by watching how Tala will respond to them. A real sucker for Italian food, Tala will happily accompany Jenn any given day for some veal parmagian or spaghetti and meatballs. However, another favorite treat of Tala’s would be the organic cookie bones from Braxton’s that a very dear patient buys her three to four times a month when he comes in for his appointments. At the sight of him she will eagerly anticipate the moment when she gets to gobble them right up, thanking him with sweet kisses.

Aside from going to work each day at the practice, Tala is quite content when she is able to get over to Valley Forge Park with her little buddy, the stick. It’s a rather large stick in scale and she loves nothing more than to gnaw at it, fetch for it or just lay beside it as she

New location in Eagle Village Shops

Page 15: Wayne Magazine November 2014

WayneMagazine.com | November 2014 15

There is a well-known shop in Wayne with a fresh new look and location for all to venture out and see. Balée Antiques, located in Eagle Village Shops on 503 W.

Lancaster Avenue, has moved into a larger and grander retail space to offer a wider variety of exclusive and rare finds for a better shopping experience. Owner, Rita Balée, has been in the antique business for the last 25 years and her expertise is truly reflected through the one-of-a-kind unique pieces that fill three floors of this beautiful new space.

After living in Asia for 10 years with her husband, Rita came back to the area and opened up her first antique shop in 1985, named “Asian Accents” in Haverford. Eventually she met her previous business owner who had a passion for European antiques and they combined their two interests to create a more appealing concept to a larger group of clients by opening up “Portabella Road” in Malvern. To this day many people still remember this shop even after Rita’s partner moved away and she changed the name to Balée Antiques. “It was a quick decision to re-name the business to Balée Antiques, but it was a good one as it just really stuck in people’s minds even after I moved to Wayne,” commented Rita. Today, you can walk into Balée Antiques and see an incredible variety of European antiques from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, mixed in with Asian accents and stunning jewelry. “I try to buy pieces that are eclectic and whimsical. Things that will really stand out and enhance a room in a client’s home,” said Rita. “Although I prefer 18th century pieces, I don’t have one particular focus when I am buying antiques for my

business. My buying is based on finding special pieces that are unpredictable and will make a true statement in any room.” These days the store is filled with rare accent pieces rather than larger furniture. Rita prefers to show her clients ways to incorporate unusual items into their rooms that will enhance other key objects of furniture. She has traveled as far as Argentina, Asia and Europe through the years to bring her clients pieces that simply can’t be found anywhere else. However, in more recent years Rita has discovered that she merely needs to travel to New England, Georgia, the Carolinas and other areas of the country to find the unique inventory that she has grown accustomed to offering her clients. Jewelry is another treasure that is tucked away in its own special cove on the top floor of this new retail space. The incredible assortment of rare pieces that you will find in this gorgeous collection from France, Italy, England and Georgia will tempt you in a way that you won’t be able to walk out empty handed. “I look at jewelry like antique furniture. It fascinates me how jewelry designers used to make jewelry,” remarked Rita. “If you look at the lines and detail work of each piece, they are truly works of art.” The collection spans all the way from the 18th century up to the 1920’s and 30’s.

In addition to all that Balée Antiques offers in-store, Rita also provides interior design services. It is an aspect of her business that she simply loves and would like to have it be a larger part of her business moving forward. “To me, you have to have an eye for it. It’s the way you stage something and present it,” said Rita. “I can take an 18th century piece and pair it with a 20th century piece and make it look spectacular. Some people are afraid to do it, but if you have a flair for it along with confidence it can actually be great fun.”

The riveting world of antiques can pull you in so many exciting directions. However, it can become a bit overwhelming and that is why it is important to have antique businesses

narrow down your search to only the best options out there. “I think in this business you really have to do things that are different and out of the box,” said Rita. “I like being unpredictable and having that reflect in the inventory I offer to my customers. The world has changed in retail and in antiques. You have to learn to change with it in order to stay relevant in the marketplace and for your clients.” With so many options to choose from at Balée Antiques, you are bound to purchase at least one remarkable piece that you will forever cherish. Be sure to stop into the new location this month to see all the magnificent offerings that await you.

One of the things I like best about living in this area is that we are lucky enough to experience each season to its fullest. As the seasons change so should your home

décor. You’ll never tire of your home décor if you change some of your accessories each season. This can be done on any budget and it does not need to be done all at once. Autumn is such a rich and colorful time of year and there are a lot of opportunities to introduce fall colors into your living space. While orange pumpkins immediately come to mind, there are so many other choices; from brown and gold to deep burgundy and moss green, you should be able to work with your existing color palate.

One place to start is to invest in some quality containers and cachepots. This creates a good foundation to work with throughout the year. Think of a container as the perfect Little Black Dress. Jewelry and shoes can take it anywhere. Replace what’s in them as we move through each season. I love really good faux picks, stems and sprays. I know some people have an aversion to using faux floral and greens, but have you seen them lately? The ones made today are stunning and so realistic. Spending a little more on good ones is worth it in the long run. You will reuse them year after year and add to your collection.

Glass hurricanes can hold tiny pinecones, nuts and acorns, which surround a tall pillar candle perfectly. Hurricanes run the gamut from etched and formal to recycled glass for a relaxed casual look. While I definitely have a preference for natural candle light, I’m very impressed with the new battery operated candles. Pretty hurricanes can go in just about any room, back hall or entryway.

This time of year we are nesting and making everything cozy and comfortable. Soon we will be indoors more than we like. Throw pillows are a great way to reset a room. Darker accent pillows in rich fabrics can really change the personality of a sofa. As the temperature drops soft warm throws are not only practical but beautiful.

Have you ever thought about having a spring/summer rug and a fall/winter rug? Changing your area rug will make a huge impact! Try natural sisal or a dhurrie in the warm weather, then rich thick soft wools in jewel tones in the cool months.

If you are lucky enough to have a fireplace, then the mantle is the perfect opportunity for decorating! Take pictures on your smart phone and make sure you measure the depth before you go out hunting for accessories. Skinny mantles are frustrating, but there are several options that I have found work really well. Tall finials, candlesticks and narrow boxes layered with seasonal picks and sprays. Decorative plates on stands, and interesting picture frames are also great solutions.

One overlooked area is the powder room. Even the tiniest bathroom has at least one spot for a small arrangement, bowl of pinecones or scented candle. Seasonal artwork in this room also has huge impact. While the front door is an obvious place for a wreath I like to have at least one inside as well. Removing artwork and replacing it with a glorious fall wreath will not only add

The Radnor Conservancy is heading into its thirteenth year as a non-profit organization in Wayne, Pennsylvania. Our mission is to encourage the protection of Open Space

in Radnor Township and engage our residents in the preservation of natural, cultural and historic assets through environmental stewardship. The Conservancy provides important educational programming focused on building a sustainable environment for children, family and adult audiences. We serve as a resource for landowners, local planners and real estate professionals about the options in protecting property, through easements, which ultimately protect land for future generations from subdivision.

We provide support to the Township in regards to creating ordinances and policies, environmental initiatives and participate in open space planning.

In conjunction with the Township, we preserve natural assets in Radnor by promoting the restoration of the aging tree canopy through the Radnor Conservancy’s Big Tree Program. Along with our partners, Radnor Township, Radnor Cub Scouts and the Chanticleer Foundation, we have planted native tree species, to increase the natural shade canopy for its help with erosion and improving wildlife habitats. We will be planting 45 shade trees this fall 2014 as part of this ongoing program (over 450 trees have been planted since the program’s inception).

We are supporting the proposal of the Radnor Greenways and Open Space Network Plan that will create a comprehensive network of trails and bike routes that link communities to different open space. We are actively involved in the development of the Ardrossan Park Trails, a system of walking and bike trails that will be designed within 71 acres of the Ardrossan Tract, secured by the Township. The 71 acres will also be used for wetland and woodland preservation. Our Educational Committee presents programming that reflects a variety of environmental issues we encounter in our surrounding area, like storm water management, a serious problem in Radnor Township, due to development and an aging and undersized infrastructure. Past events were co-sponsored by Stroud Water Research Center and Radnor Township’s Environmental Advisory Committee.

We are proud to continue with, Radnor Reflections, an exhibition of local photography that chronicles the natural, historical and cultural assets of Radnor Township throughout the seasons and is open to all ages. We work in partnership with the Wayne Art Center and the exhibition will be held in their Ethel Sergeant Clark Smith Gallery, May 9 - June 27, 2015.

With a focus on sustainable plantings on private and public land the Conservancy’s Conservation Corps program is collaborating with Bird Town – Back Yard Habitat Program. Bird Town is a working partnership between Audubon and municipalities in Pennsylvania to promote conservation and community-based actions to create a healthy, more sustainable environment for birds and people. The premise of the program is to recognize that our native birds are indicators of our community’s environmental quality. Loss of habitat and degradation of habitat quality has resulted in Audubon focusing on backyards and other human-influenced landscapes as sanctuaries for birds. February 13-16, 2015 we will participate in the next Great Back Yard Bird Count (http://gbbc.birdcount.org/).

We strive to engage Radnor citizens in sustainable environmental practices by sponsoring and collaborating with Radnor organizations, Township as well as School District, on environmental programs and events that attract a multigenerational audience. We initiate and participate in the clean up of Radnor’s parks, creeks and invasive vegetation. We identify and encourage the preservation of historic and cultural assets related to open space and natural features, like gardens, cemeteries, landscapes, and trees that are part of our shared history.

As the newly appointed Executive Director of the Conservancy, I feel we have the opportunity to create a special bond with the community by nurturing a deep interest and care for the environment we live in, by building strong relationships with community organizations that are aligned with our mission (Radnor Township School District, Radnor Memorial Library, Wayne Art Center, Audubon Society (Bird Town), Radnor Historical Society and the Chanticleer Foundation).

Our’dourve FreeAvoid gorging on the our’dourves that lead up to the big feast.

Thanksgiving dinner is not an all-you-can-eat buffetFill your plate half with vegetables, one quarter with a lean meat and the rest with a

starch of your choice. Eat slowly and stop when you are full.

Skip the SkinWhether you eat white or dark meat, be sure to go skinless. Just one ounce of skin

contains 80 calories and 2 grams of fat!

Stick with Sweet Potato PieLike pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie uses a veggie as a base to eliminate calories. Passing

up any meringue topping will save you 100 calories.

Limit yourself to one plate for dinner and dessertMany of times our eyes are bigger than our stomachs, particularly around the holidays.

Listen to your body and know when to push the plate away.
