Patricia Altschul's Christmas Tree Gives a Glimpse Into Whitney Sudler-Smith's Childhood
The Southern Charm matriarch offered a peek at her menagerie of plush animals — and told the story behind them.
All season long, entertainer extraordinaire Patricia Altschul has given us peeks at the holiday decor that's brightening up her Charleston mansion. We've seen the vintage Barbie wreath. We've admired the Santa iguana. And now, we're meeting a whole menagerie of plush holiday animals that have an incredibly sweet backstory.
In a December 22 Instagram post, the Southern Charm matriarch posted a video that showed off a charming collection of stuffed animals. There were sheep, monkeys, and tigers, and a Teddy bear wearing a clown hat. There was a miniature bulldog, a little camel, and a looming giraffe. And then there was the sweetest deer, all curled up on Patricia's banister.
"For those of you who asked about my tree..it’s traditional with many antique ornaments that were collected by my grandparents and surrounded by Steiff animals," she wrote. "Some were from my childhood but most from @wsudlersmith."
