September is here and Wayne Magazine welcomes you home after one of the most beautiful summers this region has had in years! I hope each of you were able to take advantage of the summer months to spend time with your friends and family, while appreciating those precious moments that seem to flee so quickly from June through August. From the time I was a child I viewed September as the beginning of my New Year, and still do. The fresh scent of clean white notebook paper and newly sharpened pencils still gets me every time. As we grasp on to those final summer evenings where lightening bugs sparingly flutter around and backyard BBQ’s are prepared one last time, it’s a moment to plan for the upcoming school year that many kids are eagerly anticipating.

In this fresh new issue to kick off the fall season, a “Back to School Guide” will offer parents fun ideas to get their children ready for school. We cover a special editorial feature on the annual Devon Fall Classic which is sure to be a wonderful event to attend this month. We include lively photos from one of Wayne’s best events of the year, the Radnor Fall Festival. Make sure to come on out and experience a day filled with exciting games, treats, music and friendly neighbors. You will also find two creative and easy recipes that can be prepared with your kids for tasty back-to-school lunches. All of this can be found within the pages of this special issue along with some great stories on retail, design and of course our ever-so faithful Wayward Traveler.

A new season is upon us, and with that we have many exciting events happening this month in and around Wayne. Let the crisp air sweep in and renew your spirit as you take advantage of all the wonderful opportunities that await you in this terrific community. May it be a rewarding and prosperous school year for all students entering another grade. It’s a time for new books, new courses, new friends and most importantly new beginnings. Let’s kick it off right with a fabulous September. Sincerely,

September’sDOG OF THE MONTHby Laurie Wightman

For all of you Wayne residents that happen to travel up to Nantucket in the

summertime, this dog’s name will resonate with you the most. This beautiful English Springer Spaniel is named Cisco after Cisco Beach in Nantucket. Tracy Rogusky, café manager at Valley Forge Flowers, has made Nantucket her family’s vacation spot for many years now. When they welcomed Cisco into their family 10 years ago, it made perfect sense to name her after the Rogusky’s favorite beach in Nantucket. Cisco eagerly anticipates the exciting ferry ride over to the island where she frolics in the dunes by morning and gallivants around town by day. She has made many other canine friends on the island that share in this ever-so-popular name on Nantucket Island. Tracy came way of finding Cisco through playing paddle tennis at Waynesboro Country Club, where a very sweet and docile English Springer Spaniel peacefully lounged around the courts happily greeting all the members. The owner of this particular dog directed Tracy to meet with the well-known breeder Gail McKenzie, located in West Chester. Tracy discovered that this breed of dog is known to be affectionate, good natured and sincere; a dog that loves

everyone. They are closely related to the Welsh Springer Spaniel and even more-so with the English Cocker Spaniel. The English Springer Spaniel is a breed in the Spaniel family that is traditionally used for flushing and retrieving game. But they are equally known to be a fabulous family dog, as they are even-tempered, playful, cheerful and sociable. Locally, Cisco thoroughly enjoys a proper hike with her family. In particular she loves prancing through the woods of Stroud Preserve in Chester County. After a delightful adventure through this natural habitat, Cisco is rewarded with a delicious doggie burger at the Four Dog Tavern which is located at the Marshalton Inn. An ingenious concept where people and their dogs can enjoy a meal together. It has become a monthly tradition for the Rogusky family, and Cisco couldn’t be happier. You may have possibly spotted Tracy and Cisco on their daily morning walks around Devon. Rain or shine you will see this dynamic duo strolling around Waterloo Mills, or the Devon Horse Show grounds or St. David’s Church to list a few. They certainly get around town and you can spot Cisco from a mile away with her dark and glossy coat that still makes her look like a puppy 10 years later.

September is here and what a wonderful way to kick off the season by attending

the third annual Devon Fall Classic. The four day event will take place on September 11th through September 14th. The main focus for the Devon Fall Classic is non-stop jumper action, where speed and accuracy rule the Dixon Oval for four days. Everyone can easily follow the action and root for their favorite exhibitors. There will be open seating in the grandstands each day, excluding Saturday evening. Admission is only $5, while children and seniors 65+ enter free. The proceeds from the Fall Classic will benefit the Devon Horse Show & Country Fair Foundation that owns and maintains the historic Devon Horse Show Grounds.

The Fall Festival will be in full swing with over 40 boutique vendors offering a wonderful array of equestrian goods, jewelry, art, antiques, clothing and accessories for both the home and the stable. Chrysanthemums, corn stalks and hay bales will adorn the beautifully decorated grounds to celebrate the fall season. Pony rides will be offered Saturday, September 13th from 1-5PM, and Sunday, September 14th from 11AM-3PM. Live music in the picnic grove will create

an entertaining atmosphere for all to enjoy while kicking up your heels and sipping on wine or beer. Some of the region’s best bands from acoustic to country to rock will perform each day. Delicious food by Avero will be highlighted including great BBQ, fresh local tomatoes and mozzarella, white bean rosemary hummus, Italian sandwiches, garlic bread, bruschetta, and tasty desserts.For the first time, the wonderful midway that the Devon Horse Show & Country Fair enjoys in the spring will be here. The fantastic Ferris wheel, the beautiful carousal and other rides and games will be open for the entire four days of the show. “What a Good Dog” canine talent show will be coming back for a second time on Saturday, September 13th around noon. Be sure to bring out your pup’s finest costume and accessories and show us what they’ve got. An extra incentive will be having your dog featured in the “Dog of the Month” column in Wayne Magazine.

What are you waiting for? Come on out with your family and friends and enjoy another spectacular year filled with horses, rides, shopping, great food and much more at the Devon Fall Classic.

The 3rd Annual

Devon Fall ClassicB a c k a n d B e t t e r t h a n E v e r

Exhibitors will compete in four days of Jumper events at the Devon Fall Classic. The Jumper is the “athlete” of the show. His task is solely to jump, regardless of style or manner. While Hunters are scored subjectively, Jumpers are scored objectively. Scoring is based on a point system for faults in jumping, (knocking a rail down or a refusal) or exceeding the specified time limit. Jumper courses tend to be much more complex and technical than hunter courses, because riders and horses are not being judged on style. The winner is the horse with the lowest number of faults. Time is also a factor in deciding the outcome of an event. In the case of a tie after the first round, jump-offs are sometimes held over a shortened course, and the competitors must compete against the clock.

JUMPER EVENTSAT THE DEVON FALL CLASSIC

FenceAnother name for a jump, types of jumps commonly used at Devon include:

• Combination: Two or three jumps in a row, with no more than two strides between each.

• Oxer: Also known as a spread fence, that consists of more than one vertical element taken as one jump.

• Vertical: A fence consisting of a single vertical element with no spread.

Faults Jumping is scored by faults, or penalties, accrued by horse and rider while they negotiate the course. Faults are assessed as follows:

• Knockdown: An obstacle is considered knocked down when a horse or rider, by contact, lowers any element that establishes the height of an obstacle. Each knockdown results in four faults.

• Refusal: When a horse stops before the fence or runs out to the side of the fence to avoid negotiating the obstacle it is called a refusal. The first refusal results in four faults, the second in elimination.

• Time Fault: Each second, or fraction thereof, over the time allowed results in one fault.

There is something truly unforgettable about walking through the door of

a superb antique shop…it instantly takes your breath away when you see all of the treasures on display. It is as though you have entered a secret garden that no one else knows about and you are the lucky visitor fortunate enough to have that experience. It doesn’t happen very often, but when you encounter such a shop you don’t forget it. In downtown Wayne, located at 122 W. Lancaster Avenue, there is a gem of an antique shop named Antiquities, etc. that gives just that feeling. Owner, Marietta Faragalli, has done a magnificent job of creating a warm and inviting space filled with unique pieces that are carefully arranged into charming vignettes, offering customers practical ideas on how to use these items in their own home. “We strive to help each customer in our store, but our best sales tool is our display,” says Marietta. “It is so much easier to show people how to use things than it is to explain. Customers have been known to come in and actually buy a whole wall!”

Marietta opened Antiquities about 10 years ago, and had already been in the antique business for 15 years prior to her store opening. “I have always loved antiques, the patina of age, the history, the idea that these beautiful things were treasured and handed down through generations,” commented Marietta. “I had been an English major in college, hence my love of antique books,

but went back to school as an adult to take interior design. After several years of study I decided I would rather place my focus on the antiques business instead of interior design.” When she opened Antiquities, her husband Henry had just retired from his career and thought it would be interesting to help out in the business. “Amazingly, it has worked out very well. Henry loves interacting with the customers and has been a real asset to the business,” stated Marietta. In addition to Henry there are two knowledgeable associates, Joanne and Dona, who have been with the shop for 20 and 10 years respectively. The shops two talented associates each have their own unique perspective of design and thoroughly enjoy assisting customers in finding the perfect piece when needed.

Although a primary focus of the business is furniture, Marietta enjoys finding unusual accessories and accent pieces even more. She has been traveling to England on buying trips for the last 20 years where she has developed some wonderful sources. There she looks for interesting and unusual items, boxes, mirrors, lamps, fine period engravings which she has framed in hand made frames by English craftsmen. After 25 years in the business there is nothing more that Marietta loves than finding those rare and quirky pieces that simply can’t be found anywhere else in our area. “I purchase primarily in England because I have an affinity for the English look and

Antiquities, Etc.A treasure trove you won’t soon forget

Story by Laurie Wightman | Photographs by Brenda Carpenter

have developed great contacts there over the years. But I have found things in Ireland, South America, Australia and even South Africa,” says Marietta. “I also visit shops all over the US, mostly in the south. I love to buy; it is a thrill to find something I’ve never seen before. Although I am a traditionalist, I don’t think antiques need to be stuffy. My over-riding concern in what I buy is visual appeal, not age. I do believe in keeping up with decorating trends and I buy accordingly. I would rather have something great from the 20th century than something mediocre from the 19th century.” With a large, ever-evolving inventory it is important that Antiquities be able to offer more choices to their customers than what can be displayed in their 900 square foot shop. That is why Marietta takes photos of almost everything she buys and has albums for customers to look through if they can’t find what they want on the floor. With a large customer base that ranges all over the country, Antiquities can arrange reliable local and national shipping. Another service provided by the shop is custom made reproductions from two English cabinet makers that Marietta has been working with for years. These pieces can be made to clients’ specifications often out of old

wood. Such services along with assisting many local interior designers in finding that appropriate one-of-a-kind piece are just another reason why Antiquities stands out on the Main Line. No matter what your decorating style, Antiquities can add uniqueness and character to a room, often more affordably than a new piece. Perhaps it is the patina of old materials such as wood, leather and brass, or the idiosyncrasies of a handmade item. There is often a story connected to something old, and there is always personality. Be sure to stop into Antiquities the next time you are in downtown Wayne, look around, and perhaps get some ideas on how to incorporate a few antiques into your décor!

How many times have you walked into a particular room in your home

and wanted to transform it with rich new fabrics to dress up your windows, or newly upholstered accent pieces to tie the room together or a splash of brilliant wallpaper to make the room pop? Perhaps you’ve already done this a time or two, or your desire to execute such a transformation seems like a daunting task. What if you were handed the opportunity to work with a top design consultant to evaluate all your design needs without the design fees and deliver a spectacular end result that would have you beaming endlessly? All of this is quite possible and right in your back yard. CoCo Curtain Studio and Interiors, located on 111 E. Lancaster Avenue in Devon, is a one stop shop for all your design needs that pertain to fabrics, window treatments, wallpaper, bedding, carpet, furniture and hardware.

CoCo Curtain Studio and Interiors opened in 2007 as The Curtain Exchange, and was changed to its current name two years ago. “The inspiration for opening CoCo Curtain Studio and Interiors was the ability to provide our clients with a wider selection of fabrics and services,” said owner, Joan Flynn. “Our clients were looking for products beyond the line we offered. We founded CoCo Curtain simultaneously with the owner of the Ridgewood, NJ CoCo Curtain who also left the Curtain Exchange in order to share vendors, website, etc. Together we have traveled to fabric vendors up and down the east coast and attended numerous trade shows to source incredible fabrics and now other lines for our clients.” Today, CoCo Curtain Studio and Interiors is a family owned business with Joan’s husband Tom running the business side of things, and her son Nick learning every facet of the business. Joan

remains the face of the business acting as the key design consultant along with her outstanding design staff, Tricia and Joann, who have been with the business since the day Joan opened.

CoCo Curtain Studio and Interiors provides access to all products available at the Philadelphia Design Center, and the Design and Decorative Arts Building in New York. On a regular basis they will shop and/or bring clients to these venues. “We provide as much or as little design input as a client requires. Some clients are looking for sources for the products they have researched, while others are seeking design services. Our philosophy is to make a client’s design dream come true, not to impart just our style,” replied Joan. “Customers can expect complete design services if needed. We recently completed a master bedroom makeover; including window

treatments, lighting, new sofas and chairs, bedding, mirrors and several other accent pieces. We have overseen the building of eating areas, cabinetry, decorative facades, molding and other carpentry work. We can provide design sketches as well as computer generated design sketches.”

Two other beneficial advantages to working with CoCo Curtain Studio and Interiors is that they will create custom upholstery pieces made to order, where they have a workroom in North Carolina that builds the actual furniture. The turn-around time for a stock piece is four weeks, with custom pieces taking up to eight weeks. However, they also provide access to all major designer furniture brands including Thibaut, Kravat, Schumacher and many more. Secondly, they buy directly from the same mills and print houses as one would see at the Designer Marketplaces passing on significant savings

COCO CURTAIN STUDIO AND INTERIORS A M o s t L u x u r i o u s E x p e r i e n c e

to any client with needs for large quantities of yardage. They feature every major fabric vendor including Scalamandre, Fabricut, Vervain, Robert Allen, Cowtan and Tout, Stark, Designer Guild, Bungalow Five, Redford House and everything in between. Currently, the business is working on its fifth year of providing window treatments for The Philadelphia Magazine Design House, which is a tremendous accolade to the reputation of what CoCo Curtain Studio and Interiors offers. “Last year we provided all of the window treatments and all of the bedding for the design house,” commented Joan. “The window treatments were spectacular. The office featured a classic Ralph Lauren stripe, the family room featured a two story tiered curtain on a power traverse rod. The Master Bedroom featured a linen silk blend curtain with luxurious bedding including a fur throw on the bed. The master bath featured a powered roman shade with a stationary roman sheer underneath for privacy. We take great pride in selecting exceptional fabrics, curtain hardware and bedding.”

Joan and her associates have produced and designed thousands of window treatments in the last 8 years, and have provided superior design services throughout the Philadelphia and New Jersey region.CoCo Curtain

Studio and Interiors has created a first class shopping experience by providing not only a vast line of products in-store, but also a very strong network of craftsmen dedicated to producing the highest quality interior design products, whether it is curtains, upholstery or other client needs. “There isn’t a window that we can’t provide the perfect design solution for,” said Joan. “There are countless places where a custom order can go wrong from design to measuring to procurement to fabrication to installation. We pride ourselves in getting the job done right and timely, and having the satisfaction of a very happy client.” So the next time you ponder on the potential your home has, take that next step to make it happen and let CoCo Curtain Studio and Interiors create the ultimate transformation that you’ve been dreaming of.

This September is a very exciting time for the Wayne Art Center as they will

be celebrating the official dedication of its award-winning gardens and facilities on Sunday, September 28th from 2PM-4PM. The Wayne Art Center will recognize that whose contributions made the gardens possible and is proud to be the recipient of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s Community Greening Award in Fall of 2014.

Situated on nearly three acres of mostly wooded land, with two large parking areas and prominent street entrances on Maplewood Avenue and Conestoga Road, the Wayne Art Center takes its obligation to be a good neighbor seriously, carefully maintaining its property and gardens. Through the generosity of several longtime friends, the Art Center has now created seven attractive garden areas with a stone walking path that leads visitors through the property and connects the various gardens. Here is a snapshot of what to look forward to:

Steven Laden Meditation Garden Created in memory of her husband Steven Laden (formerly a board member of Morris Arboretum and the Curtis Institute of Music), Lee Laden made it possible for Wayne Art Center to install its first garden, the Steven Laden Meditation

Garden, which kicked off the Wayne Art Center’s Landscape Campaign. The garden serves as a source of inspiration and respite for students and community, as well as reflects Steve’s lifelong love of gardens and understanding of the important cultural, aesthetic and biological impact of plants on individuals. The meditation garden creates a restful, peaceful place – an oasis of calm in a garden setting that helps students connect with their own creativity and goals in the same way that the studios and exhibitions already do.

Josephine M. and Calvin W. Schmidt Gallery Garden The Schmidt Garden is a beautiful backdrop for available works of art to be displayed in the Davenport Family Gallery. This garden surrounds a rain garden that was installed in 2006 and is located in the center of the Schmidt Garden where there will be a rotating sculpture featured throughout the year. It has an edible theme including blackberry, raspberry and blueberry bushes, in addition to strawberries and herbs such as rosemary and thyme. These edible plants are being utilized in the culinary classes that are offered during the summer and enjoyed by all of the culinary students. Lovely magnolia trees also grace the terrace which is used for gallery receptions and special events.

Betty Moran Welcome Garden These gardens are located in front of the Wayne Art Center building, adjacent to the parking lot. A new design brings freshness and vibrant color to the area for every visitor to admire. Dorrance H. Hamilton Studio Garden There will be 15 varieties of woody plants and 18 varieties of perennials in the Hamilton Garden. A semi-circular boulder wall with seating at the edge of the garden has been built, using boulders given by the Township when they built the Radnor Walking Trail adjacent to the Art Center. It is truly an inspiring outdoor space that is visible from the clear storied window wall that was installed in the newly renovated Hamilton Studio. It also is a wonderful space for students to sit and relax. Robert and Jane McNeil Children’s Garden As part of a gift from the Allerton Foundation to renovate and upgrade the Olivia Capri Children’s Center, along with a gift from the McNeil family, a Children’s Garden with a large-scale treehouse and amphitheater outside the two children’s studios was planted.

Hello my friends, it is nice to be back in the Wayne community after returning

from a refreshing sojourn in Europe. For the past thirty years I have traveled far and wide throughout the Continent and U.K. in order to further my business interests while at the same time carving out some time for pleasurable pursuits. Over the summer the wanderlust bug bit me once again. Consequently, the Old Codger embarked on another annual trip abroad along with my usual traveling companion, my wife of forty five years.

First stop was London, a town that over the years has endeared itself to our liking. While business meetings accounted for much of my time, the old boy was still able to circulate with several dear friends, holding court for the most part in my established neighborhood in Mayfair of Shepherds Place making my HQ in Shepherds Pub. Pub life remains strongly up beat, and for many a Brit contains the silver thread that unites all Englishmen. When it comes to sports they are downcast and pessimistic regarding their National Cricket and Football (Soccer) squads who in recent years lose to former colonial teams. How the English can drink “Bitters” is a puzzle for the Traveler.

The subject of beer for the Codger immediately enlivened my spirit and off to Frankfurt I went for a pleasant two week holiday in Southern Germany and Switzerland. First stop was Germany’s famous Bavarian thruway, “The Romantic Strasse.” An overnight in the country’s oldest medieval city, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, brought back fond memories as well as staying at my usual gasthof. Those of you who have visited here will be glad to know that the “Old Night Watchman” still guards the city.

We then went onward to the Stuttgart area to visit friends. Then south to Baden Baden for a play at their casino and to enjoy what this lovely city has to offer. The desire for the ultimate cocktail was forgotten in lieu of more pleasant liquid refreshments. Namely, the Badener Riesling wine and Germany’s offering of the Nectar of the Gods beer in its most delicious form. The strict standards for making beer invoked by the Purity Act of 1215 are still in conformity by using only natural ingredients. Next was the highlight of the trip, a visit to Freiburg Im Breisgau, where the Wayward Traveler’s mother was born. This friendly university city with its curbside water canals is unique. From here into the Hochschwarzwald (Black Forest) did I travel. The Old Codger mentally renewed old memories of the town where I once lived as a youth. Hiking throughout the forest and inhaling the fresh mountain air was most refreshing. This part of the world never changes and that is because the inhabitants appreciate the simplicity of life and all its natural meanings. They inherently know that there is no need to change a good thing. Into beautiful Switzerland I continued visiting Basel, Zurich, Interlaken and then Gstaad which is a city of pure beauty surrounded by the supreme Alps. The Codger did much hiking here commiserating not only with nature, but interfacing with cows and goats along the trail. I continued to lovely Montreaux where little towns along Lake Geneva are as quaint as ever. This was another successful adventure for the Wayward Traveler. Wayne is a wonderful community to come home to, but always make time to get out there and experience all that awaits you in this cultural and diverse life we live in. Until next time my friends.
