Bringing France Home

Have you ever stayed somewhere so perfect that you wanted to bring the furnishings home? This seems to be happening a lot. My brother and sister-in-law's gorgeous home I'll show more of later, much of it I'd love to pack up and ship to North Carolina..................and, guess what, they'll open their massive antique door to you if you want to visit!

Again, sorry I've not posted, just having fun during these marvellous days in France. I believe I've taken over 2000 photos so will have much to share.

Meanwhile, a brief peek to whet your appetite for all things lovely and French. In the Provencal town of Apt, at the base of the Luberon mountains, we spent two nights in an amazing house called La Madone. Our apartment, called "Chanvre" which is a type of old linen fabric, was so beautiful, I could have moved in permanently.

These two heavy linen cushion covers trimmed in French blue, I purchased right off the linen upholstered daybed.........................................................along with some antique monogrammed linen kitchen towels. This kitchen sink was set into a very old massive stove with iron doors.
The romantic pool in the lovely garden of La Madone.
Our living room complete with beamed ceiling, lovely paint effects, crystal chandeliers and puddled heavy linen draperies.

I'll have so much more to show later after all photos organized. My days in France have been fabulous. Off to London on Friday for just a brief visit - can't pass up a chance to go home and do a little shopping before crossing the pond yet again.

Many thanks to all who have stopped by while I've been gone - miss you all.
