When we think of Charlottesville we picture the Historic Downtown Mall, eclectic boutiques, big concerts, intimate theatres, delicious dining, the Rotunda, rolling horse pastures, vineyards and beautiful Blue Ridge views. We are so lucky to call such an amazing community home! We all stayed or moved to Charlottesville because of how special it is, and it is the local businesses, run by our neighbors, that give this town its cool vibe.

Local business owners keep our community strong by reinvesting their profits back into the community, by bringing unique flavor to our lives, and by keeping our carbon footprints small. This new publication is in honor of enterprising businesses and people who work every day to help you find high-quality artisanal foods, wines and wares and services that make Charlottesville the wonderful place it is today.

When you have a choice, consider buying local. If half the employed population spent $50 each month in a locally owned, independent businesses, more than $42.6 billion in revenue would be generated. * At home in our city and county, that translates to $1.5 million in revenue. Small changes can add up to a big impact.

We raise a toast to American enterprise and to our local small businesses who, like us, are proud to work for our community. After 14 years, Ivy Publications employs 15 wonderful people — our friends and neighbors — and we hope you will support other local businesses found within the pages of Locally Charlottesville who would like to meet you.

ock Paper Scissors Co-Owners Heather McNulty Haynie and Dani Antol first purchased the boutique in 2010 from SCARPA-owner Amy Gardner. The two had worked together at a local advertising agency and shared a love of paper and clean design, plus an enterprising spirit they both inherited from their business-owner fathers. “It is amazing sometimes when I think about the support we have…whether it [is] other local business owners or customers who shop locally,” says Antol.

In addition to being featured in The Knot and an upcoming spread in Martha Stewart Weddings, RPS’ design work can be see all over town – they’ve donated their services to nonprofits such as Bike Charlottesville, CACF Future Fund and the Junior League of Charlottesville. As selfproclaimed “paperistas,” they always remember their roots as a paper store while simultaneously seeking out fun and unique gift items. “I love hearing people laugh with friends while they read some of the cards around the shop,” says Haynie. Among their current obsessions? Rifle Paper Company and Arzberger note cards. “Nothing is more handsome than a super thick Arzberger note card engraved with one’s name in a clean font at the top!” according to the co-owners. “Who wouldn’t be excited to get that in the mail!?” thinkrockpaperscissors.com.

Forging a Legacy

A

By Kelly Robeson Photography by Jennifer Jones

lbemarle House — originally built by Patricia Kluge and her then-husband, the late John Kluge, and now owned by none other than Donald Trump — is one of the area’s most lavish homes. With 23,000-square-feet and 45 rooms, it’s fit for a king.

The mansion was also the first large-scale residential project for Keswick-based full-service metalsmith shop Stokes of England, a job the company landed only a few yeas after its founding in 1981.

Local resident Stephen Stokes and his late father Joe created all of the handforged iron and bronze in the mansion, working with famous interior designer David Easton. Since that time, the company has gone on to earn both national and international attention, with features in numerous prestigious publications including Architectural Digest, Southern Living, Home and Garden, The New York Times and the Washington Post.

In addition to the Kluges, Stokes has worked for royalty and celebrities — including the royal families of Great Britain, Qatar and Oman and acclaimed actress and local Sissy Spacek.

Though the company’s work knows no geographic bounds, they have maintained the roots they set down in Keswick decades ago and continue to foster a strong local presence. In fact, if you’ve driven by the Albemarle County Office Building lately, you’ve probably seen the weather vane they designed.

Stokes — who first came to America as an exchange student from England and eventually settled locally with wife Alison — is quite the versatile man. He meticulously handcrafts fine works of art, ranging from intricate fireplace screens to enormous iron gates. Sure, he’s worked with some big-name designers and architects, but he always welcomes custom orders from local residents and even offers the opportunity to tour his forge. That’s right, the forge. You can watch the

[Clients] get a kick out of

realizing their vision in iron or bronze and watching it be made at the shop. blacksmiths hard at work at the fire firsthand.

The Stokes of England gallery in Gordonsville displays a selection of lighting, furniture, hardware and more that are ready for purchase. Multiple visits are a good idea as the selection is always changing. “When we get a whim to make something, we make it,” Stokes comments. Stokes and his crew of skilled craftsmen design everything in the store, and they are constantly trying out different things to see what will be popular.

To Stokes, the benefits of shopping local are pretty clear. When you have custom work made at his shop, you are going to get exactly what you want – the right design, the right size and the right shape. Stokes works closely with clients from beginning to end to bring their vision to life. Stokes of England even offers a free design service — they sit with clients and sketch until the design is perfect. “[Clients] get a kick out of realizing their vision in iron or bronze and watching it be made at the shop,” he says.

Not only does this practice allow you to maintain control over the design, but Stokes also guarantees that anything made by them “will be around for many hundreds of years.” Stokes’ pieces are ideal family heirlooms, personalized accessories for the home that will survive multiple generations.

Incorporating metalwork into your home is easier than you might think. “A lot of people don’t think about where ironwork occurs in their home,” he says.

For your first piece, Stokes recommends furniture or a fireplace screen. For example, a wrought-iron dining room table would look gorgeous with a marble or wooden top. A custom-made fireplace screen could display a monogram or the silhouette of a beloved pet. Wine racks are a good pick for oenophiles — what better way to proudly display your collection?

For those who might be looking for

the next step in metalwork, Stokes also creates light fixtures. Imagine illuminating your dining room with an elegant chandelier, or creating an intimate and inviting glow with a lantern in the foyer.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for a definite showstopper, check out his medievalstyle wine cellar doors that are exact reproductions of ones in medieval homes in Britain.

Blacksmithing has been in the Stokes’ family since the 1600s — as Stokes puts it, he has “iron in his blood.”

His father traveled around Africa and Asia as a senior metalsmithing expert with the United Nations before teaching Stokes the family craft. The two started by crafting smaller pieces, such as swords and knives, and eventually grew to make lighting fixtures, balconies and massive iron gates.

A few years after the company was first founded, Joe returned to England and ran the company’s U.K. branch until his death.

Stokes of England U.K. is now headed by Stephen’s younger brother Chris. “[Charlottesville] reminds me a lot of Shropshire, where I’m from”, Stokes says. “I like the fact that the community in Charlottesville is very international and mixed. It doesn’t feel like a small American town. It’s very cosmopolitan. A lot of people in this area appreciate the work that we do.”

When we get a

whim to make something, we make it.

Capturing Light Featuring Local Artist Bob Cronk “As the sun moves across the sky, everything changes,” according to Scottsville artist Bob Cronk, who works to recreate the subtleties of light and color in his paintings. The “play of light” is both the key to any good painting and the element of nature that is the most difficult to capture, he says. This challenge is precisely what makes landscapes and seascapes among his favorite themes.

The artist, who primarily works with acrylic on canvas and panels, has lived in the area for the past 25 years, first moving here with his wife and two sons to be near his mother.

“I saw Charlottesville as a great place to raise a family,” he says. “Central Virginia is not only a great place to live but provides endless sources of inspiration. The arts thrive here.”

His upcoming artistic plans include creating a collection of paintings depicting everyday scenes in the Charlottesville region.

Even after all of the leaves have fallen and the farms look barren, our area still boasts magnificent colors, according to Cronk.

“In winter, most think the colors have all but gone,” he says. “That’s not really the case because if one looks closer one can see the muted blues and sparkle of yellows across the snow. Even barren trees have a majesty that show off siennas and blues.”

Cronk comes from a family of artists, including his Uncle Butch, who was an illustrator and his mentor since the age of 5. His father was in the military, which required Cronk to travel frequently and he made sure to always have a sketch pad in hand.

“I remember while on a road trip from Seattle to Ft. Knox I drew nothing but noses,” he recalls. “The next trip...trees, and so on.”

Two years ago, he started working on his art full-time after retiring as a senior project manager of large construction projects at both UVA and JMU. In addition to his landscapes and seascapes, Cronk does portraits, caricatures and abstract images. His hope is that his art can serve as a respite from the busyness of a fast-paced world.

“Our world is overly noisy....I hope to convey with my paintings something calming and helpful in taking off the hard edges of the day,” he says.

flavors special quality

“My [pasta] are a bit like children, there are no favorites but each has its .”

ran Valente – who owns Pasta Valente with her daughter Mary Ann – started selling her pasta at the City Market in the 1980s when specialty food was just beginning to take off. “It was a hit, quite often she sold out before the day was over,” recalls Mary Ann. Her mother took over the pasta making in the family as her grandmother aged; inspired by Italian tradition, she used a small hand-cranked pasta machine set up in her sewing room. Pasta Valente is now available at retail outlets in 48 states, including locally at Foods of All Nations and Kroger. Despite their widespread growth, they have maintained the homemade flavor and texture of their products and continue to support the community, donating to silent auctions, charity events and the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. Pasta Valente’s standard staples like garlic parsley and tomato basil are always popular, plus special flavors – like pumpkin or chocolate pasta – are available seasonally. Mary Ann can’t choose just one favorite but she does enjoy chilled sesame pasta and spinach linguine with crumbled blue cheese and artichokes. “But really that’s just what I’m eating this month. Next month will change,” she says. pastavalente.com.

Local Holiday Meal

Food is a big part of any holiday celebration so make sure you're offering the best of the best. In winter, it can be tough to get your hands on locally-grown fruits and vegetables so it’s a good idea to plan early. Pick up some farm fresh butternut squash for a delectable soup that can be easily frozen for future use. Even adding a few touches – like serving locally-made apple butter on warm biscuits or artisan cheese with crackers – are easy additions to any meal. Planning to buy a turkey directly from the farm? Be sure to put your order in early! If the entire cooking process is giving you a headache just thinking about it, leave it to the pros to do the work for you. Local restaurants and catering companies are happy to take care of all of your culinary needs – or you can order out just a few dishes. As long as you take the food out of the packaging, your guests will never know the difference!

Extraordinary Gifts Jennifer Jones

For a shopping experience full of holiday cheer, bundle up and stop by the Holiday Market on a Saturday morning from November 24 through December 22. Browsing the rows of seasonal goodies is an annual treat for locals. You'll discover wreaths and handmade products perfect for decorating, along with unique items to give your friends and family this holiday season. The Holiday Market, like the City Market, only carries handmade, homegrown or home baked items; anything you find would make a distinctive present. For the person on your list who already has it all, think about choosing a scrumptious food item, such as chocolate, baked goods or cheese. Pottery, professional photographs and woodcarvings make great gifts for art lovers. You can't go wrong with the classic gifts like ornaments and scarves. Stocking up on a few general presents, like handmade soaps or candles, is a good idea to prepare for unexpected gift exchanges. If you're planning to attend a cozy holiday meal, take along a seasonal apron to say thanks!

Stay Healthy

with Vitamin D

As the amount of daylight dwindles, take your vitamin D intake into extra consideration. It can be tough to know if you aren't getting enough, experts say that folks with a mild to moderate deficiency may not have any of the typical symptoms, which include muscle weakness and fractures.

Though direct sunlight is the simplest way to get the vitamin, this method is just not realistic for some people. Supplements can go a long way to decrease bone weakness and the risk of heart disease and certain cancers, which are some of the conditions linked to vitamin D deficiency. It also helps to load your diet full of vitamin D rich foods such as leafy green vegetables and salmon, which also includes omega-3 fatty acids making it an incredible brain food! Not everyone is going to need the same amount of vitamin D, so consult with your doctor to find out the right dose for you.

Cold Weather, Jodhpur Boots by Swedish Hasbeens

Hot Fashion

Though the weather is cold, the fashion forecast is hot!

Fashion Week in Paris hinted that capes are going to be all the rage this season – classy capes, of course, nothing that Count Dracula would wear. As for boots, you'll find a plethora of ankle-high options available this winter. For a less feminine shoe, try a military-inspired pair. If you think that boots are too passÊ, make yours a little more exciting by opting for a mixedcolor or mixed-medium choice. For your other fashion pieces, think volume and opulence. Top looks include intricate patterns and lots of volume. In terms of color, gravitate towards deep purple, black, vibrant blue and mustard yellow.

Knits are always popular during the cooler months, so stock up on leggings and cute sweaters to carry over some of your favorite warmer weather outfits.

Keeping Up

the Home & Hound

Decorating for the Holidays Celebrate the glory of winter this holiday season by bringing some of the outdoors inside your home. Pinecones are an excellent resource for seasonal decorating. Natural pinecones placed upside-down in an urn make an easy centerpiece. Paint a pinecone gold or silver and tie with string to create a simple but striking ornament for the tree. A fun, kid-friendly holiday project involves a little felt, a couple of googly eyes, a mediumsized pinecone and a robust imagination. Put it all together with glue and you've constructed a pinecone Santa! Pinecones are also a wonderful addition to any swag or wreath. For a dash of color, look for winterberries. These small, bright red berries pop against the deep tone of winter greenery. Spice up your decor with a few sticks of cinnamon gathered together with twine. As for the star of the holiday decorations, the tree, check out our Finding the Perfect Tree guide on page 19.
