Message from the Innkeepers
Welcome to our first issue of our monthly newsletter for the Fairview Inn. In this and future issues, we will strive to keep you informed as to activities, events, special offers and interesting stories involving the Inn.
Over the past eighteen months, we have undergone over a half million dollars in renovations. We have added Sophia's Restaurant for Lunch, Dinner and Sunday Brunch. We have built nomiSpa, a day Spa offering massage, facials, manicures and pedicures for relaxation and rejuvenation. We have expanded our facilities for corporate events, fundraisers, wedding ceremonies and receptions, afternoon teas, rehearsal dinners, family retreats and social gatherings. We have also remodeled and refurbished several guests rooms and suites. In addition we have added a game room, a guest pantry with complimentary food items and honor bar, a guest lounge and provide complimentary WI-FI throughout the Inn. The Inn has evolved from a bed & breakfast to a small luxury hotel. Our commitment is to provide a quality guest experience for lodging, dining, spa services and events. Our friendly and flexible staff offer personalized service to create a truly memorable Inn experience.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to all our past guests, both here in Jackson and around the world. We value your patronage and your friendship and hope to see you when your travels next bring you to the Jackson Metro area and the Fairview Inn.

"Tune In" to nomiSpa
nomiSpa is now offering the Energy Vitality Technique. Using the ancient tones of the Solfeggio scale, clients can now open up their Chakras (energy centers) and clear old energy patterns that aren't doing them any good. The trained practitioner uses specifically Solfeggio calibrated tuning forks to balance and open each Chakra to get the stagnant energy moving. You walk away feeling more alive, focused, relaxed and open to new energy. You can receive it as a stand alone treatment or add it to one of our other therapies. We recommend experiencing the new "Fly Me To The Moon" package which incorporates the Energy Vitality Technique with our Raindrop Therapy massage. |
High Tea Fundraiser Steeped in Pleasure
by: Sherry Lucas, Clarion Ledger, Jackson, MS
What lovely associations float to the surface when I hear the words "high tea." They're practically as much a tonic as hot tea itself, with memories of the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Fla., with a girlfriend (on the high end) or a quaint little shop in Stratford-upon-Avon with my thoughts and my postcards (on the other end). Fine china, sweet buttery things and a long, pleasant pause in the afternoon - that's what steeps with me. Fairview Inn proprietor Peter Sharp pegged it right: It's just so civilized.
As a respite, it's delicious. As refreshment, it's delicious. Wouldn't you know it? Now I've got scones on the brain. On Saturday, High Tea attendees will have scones on the plate. Warm ones. Mmmm. Saturday afternoon, the Fairview Inn is the site for a High Tea fundraiser for the Mustard Seed Auxiliary, support arm for the Christian community for mentally challenged adults. Ceramics and paintings in the Mustard Seed Ceramics Art Shop, works by local artists in a silent auction and entertainment by the Bells of Faith, Mustard Seed's hand bell choir, are part of the event. Tea, too, of course. The fundraiser's $50 for ages 13 and older, and $35 for children; call (601) 366-0708 for details.
Girlish appeal
It's the second year for a High Tea fundraiser. "We thought it might be a fun, festive thing to do - an opportunity for mothers to do something with their young daughters that would be perky and springlike when it's not spring yet," said Leslie Hancock, the auxiliary's special events chairwoman. She noted an appeal, too, for grandmothers and granddaughters. "It's just something that appeals to the little girl in us who's always loved to dress up," she said. "It kind of takes you away." Increasingly, it's been bringing folks to the Fairview Inn, where teas offer a unique option for bridal showers, birthday parties and other social gatherings. "Especially with girls, it makes them feel good about themselves," says the Fairview Inn's Briana Berry.
English tradition
The inn has been doing teas since Peter and Tamar Sharp bought Fairview two and a half years ago. Peter is originally from England, where tea is a daily tradition, often just tea and crumpets and a pastry. "In the States, it's more of what they call high tea, where it's almost a four-course meal. You have your tea service first, then your finger sandwiches, then your scones, and then your pastries - dessert," he said. At Fairview, "It's a very genteel setting. We do it in the formal dining room up front. And we use bone china. So, it's a very elegant feel and the girls feel very special." That's the key. In an increasingly casual and hectic world, it's that lovely chance to stop, sip, savor the surroundings, appreciate the effort.
Plus, any excuse for a fresh, warm scone.
