All Things French

Yes, I am enamored of all things french these days. To tell the truth, it's probably been a couple of years now that I have scoured french decorating books & magazines, for the beauty of that neutral room full of texture; linen, rattan, rough wood on beams and furniture, and grain sack pillows. All of this is on my mind lately as my daughter, Erin, and I are selling at Brimfield in May for the first time. We have bought there for years, but this is the first experience of renting a space and tent. We are in the New England Motel field, which opens on Wednesday at 6:00 am! My vision for our tent is all things french, things with a french flair, etc. Oh, I can't wait. I have been hoarding furniture and accessories all winter for this big week. Please stop by to say hi if you're going to this fabulous show.

Rain Today, Spring Tomorrow ! ! !

Spring arrives this weekend! I for one can hardly wait; robins on the lawns, crocuses pushing their way out of the dirt, warmer and longer days. Soon it will be time to start thinking about our gardens and all the wonderful life that will abound around us. I've just gotten back from displaying at The Portland Flower Show, and it was so inspirational to see the gardens in bloom. I'm ready ~ thus the store is filling up with all the gardening goods that you can imagine. Come in to see the promise Spring. . .
