Hello everyone, I hope you are can take some time today to curl up with a good book or your favorite magazine and enjoy a little repite from all the business of the season. Enjoy a cup of holiday tea. With candlelight and a full pot of tea. Some pretty natural greens and berries. In a cosy little nook. Some outdoor vignettes from our garden etc. on a beautiful snow day the first of the week. I am off to a holiday Jubilee Tea at Beaconsfield carriage house at 5 p.m. tonight and you are…

Little cottage kitchen

There's just something so farmhouse about this style of bedding. I don't usually like blue, but I would decorate a guest bedroom like this.

This free home decor printable of 3 hens on burlap would look great in any home! It's perfect for farmhouse or cottage style decor.

Château de la Pellonière de Le Pin-la-Garenne The painted photo above has nothing to do with this post, but I thought I should give you at least one pretty image in such a depressing post! Also, these images of life around our French house keep me inspired to keep on "keepin' on" in what is proving to be the hardest task I ever undertook: namely Moving to France! I have been packing for the entire summer, giving away so many of our things and editing what we will take with us. I still have…

What a magical weekend!! I had such a great time seeing all those who made it to our Holiday Open House. It was so fun watching everyone’s faces as they saw they new looks we have this year – I felt like it was actually my Christmas morning seeing all the reactions! Having everyone in such good spirits and enjoying the cranberry mimosas and bow-making made me so happy. Now that my sappy part is out of the way (almost – seriously thank you to all who came!) it’s time for the part you have…

My client told me that she had thoroughly searched on-line, in vain, to find articles…

I hope you are enjoying your weekend. We had our last tour for this year from Japan today and our weather held up good for us right to the end. So, yesterday I gave the little sunroom a few winter/ Christmas touches. This little sunroom is just off the bathroom I shared in the last post. I switched out the pink and white china etc. and used accents of red and natural greens. A sweet card framed. We are ready for tea time. When the sun is shining this room is so warm and sunny` on a cold dull…
