Well now hello my loves. Here I am so far behind with this blog and all the generous comments. I've tried a zillion times to write and or answer emails and comments and even letters. When I try I feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Exhausted from my situation and from Covid. Maybe you can relate? There were several v touching comments that blogger won't let me respond too. I think when your blog falls into a state of inactivity things happen to it. I get the worst spam comments you can imagine. Horrible x-rated ones that I have to delete and then wonderful ones that I can't comment on. My fonts get changed and overall it's a pain and so I tend to give up and walk away. So today I'll just talk about what I've been up to.
I am well. I was exposed to the virus and had symptoms myself for about 10 days but my test came back negative. I isolated for 2 weeks and am fine now. So there is that. Also, do you remember awhile back I told you a friend of mine had purchased a big beautiful historical home just down the road from me? Well I'm decorating it! It has not been easy with shutdowns and slow shipping but it's coming along and I hope one day to be able to share it here. In the meantime you can see a few changes I've made around here. I painted the armoire because of these chinoserie panels I found. I still cannot believe I found them and they are mine! I adore them.
Because of that decorating job I've wound up making changes here. For instance she has a small office and my antique wicker desk was perfect for her. I sold it to her and that started the ball rolling. I came across this lovely french table that is perfect for the space. The truth is I've been looking for a table like this since the day we moved in. The chairs are reproductions but I love them too.
The garden is getting scorched as usual this time of year but it still is my refuge and don't know what I'd do without it. It has kept me on a routine that I need right now. As you know I don't have sprinklers so it's a big job just keeping it alive in the heat.
Is anyone doing Zoom? I am and it has been a lifesaver for me. I resisted at first but glad I gave in. I feel like I'm rambling and not making much sense so I'll end and I will really really try to get back into the routing of writing. Thank you so so much for your continuing support and love you send me. I don't deserve it. x
