My younger sister quit buying decor mags because she said all they did was make her feel dissatisfied with her own home. I think she's on to something plus magazines are dying out, never-the-less I will check out your cottage when it is featured in CL, happy though that I have viewed your blog for several years and know how your prefer to live and style your charming sanctuary.

It star...Janet, I have a blue and white house too. It started with some dishes that were my great-grandmother's. People are always sending me photos from Pinterest with blue and white cups and saucers. I love it still! Your house looks amazing! A friend of mine had a home that was going to be photographed for an upscale shelter magazine and she got really angry when the stylists brought in their "stuff" and wouldn't continue with the shoot. They tried to explain to her that what is seen in real life doesn't often translate on the page but she would have none of it and took it as an insult. Later, she agreed to have another home photographed and gave in to the "stuff" - she was older and wiser about media, etc. Anyway, I'm sure you were incredibly gracious and easy-going because that seems to be your nature which is lovely! Again, your house is so beautiful. Oh, I live in a 975 square foot home and the smallness not only makes me feel safe but is also easier to clean!

Yesterday we had a lovely lunch in one of my fave spots here, the Place Favier, A beautiful little square with four huge shady sycamore trees and an old fountain, surrounded on three sides by beautiful old buildings. There's a wonderful small café called Les Filles du Patissier and often a little music group plays there. Only a few steps away is Vicki Archer's charming little house, Le Petit Bijou where we stayed last year. Sadly it was already booked this year, but the Hotel sous les Figuiers is pretty and charming too. Very simple (doesn't have all the wonderful home comforts of LPB) but we have a little private terrace shaded by a fig tree where we can sit out and have a glass or two of wine and our food from the market. There's a fountain and birdsong. And the Canadian art group also staying here are plying guitar and singing traditional folk songs.

Love the lady's comment about using them for steak. ;)<br /><br />I did very well last weekend at two sales...one was a yard sale, the other an estate sale. I came home with quite a bit of loot. (some to sell on eBay) My biggest score was a gold sunburst mirror that I almost completely overlooked. Thank goodness my husband spotted it and I didn't waste any time snatching it up because I have wanted one for a long time. It was only $15 and when I got it home noticed that it had a sticker on the back from Nordstrom. It now has a new home in my entryway.<br /><br />The dress is so pretty...when do we get a fashion show?<br /><br />Linda<br />xo<br /><br />LRS4AMANDAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312878555775487787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-16004493330715646422015-05-24T21:13:23.780-07:002015-05-24T21:13:23.780-07:00Absolutely beautiful, as usual.Absolutely beautiful, as usual.himmiefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270899946791612366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-87056167747242923882015-05-24T17:34:35.866-07:002015-05-24T17:34:35.866-07:00Love it, it feels so calm and fresh.
