CAROLINE ROSE HUNT AND VIVIAN YOUNGTO DESCRIBE ADVENTURES IN IRISH COUNTRYSIDEby Madelyn MillerCaroline Rose Hunt and Vivian Young, owners of Lady Primrose's Shopping the English Countryside, will describe their recent adventures in Ireland at Julia Sweeney's Talk Series at noon on February 16 in the Gallery Ballroom at The Shops and Galleries of The Crescent. The talk will be followed by lunch, and guests are invited to visit Lady Primrose's antique shop for dessert with Mrs. Hunt and Mrs. Young. Lady Primrose's has earned an international reputation for carefully chosen unusual antiques, decorative accessories and gift items, especially from the British Isles, since its opening in 1987. Movie stars often stop in and buy their yummy bath items and fragrant candles. My personal favorite thing to do (besides have their scrumptious desserts and tea) is to peak in the cases of antique jewelry. I have attended some lovely "ladies" birthday parties and even attended a bridal shower at Lady Primrose. How can you not love a place that offers wonderful desserts and unique shopping all under one roof? Each year, its owners travel to Europe to find the best and most interesting objects for their customers. Along the way, they encounter local characters that make their buying trips amusing and entertaining to talk about upon their return. Julia Sweeney's Talk Series is in its ninth year. Upcoming speakers include former Neiman Marcus senior vice president Lawrence Marcus, City Councilwoman Laura Miller, philanthropist Nancy Hamon, hotelier Jeff Trigger, Dallas Morning News editorial board editor Rena Pederson, Minyard Food Stores executives Liz and Gretchen Minyard. Further information and credit card reservations, at $35 per person, including lunch, may be made by calling 214 520-0206. And if you miss this luncheon, you can always visit Lady Primrose the next time you are in downtown Dallas.
