PATIENCE AND PROVENCE

This picture was taken on the last day of the trip in the town of Uzes. It holds a special place in my heart. PROVENCE My trip to Provence was many things; a leisure vacation was not one of them.  I was there to learn, to work, to start a new business.  My only regret was…

BRAVO! Loved your blog and felt like I went on a small get away.
Happy for you Paige!

We have so much in common. The website is beautiful as is the house but guess what. We go to Provence most years and are heading back Sept. 21-28 to a little town called Aups where we always stay in the Haute Var region. It’s about an hour ride from the Nice airport and reminds me of the same town you were in. In addition to that my step daughter lives in Houston where for years has set up these parties in Houston night clubs. It’s a small world is it not. Anyway, thanks for sharing and by the way, my wife is in Charleston right now with 3 of her high school girls from Kileen doing a yearly trip together to fun places. I hope the L’Occitane is working for you at the house and stay in touch. Whoknow we may see you in Provence, Bon Voyage

Gorgeous! I love reading your stories!

GIVING PROPER CREDIT

In my haste of getting my blog out before I left, I used photos that were taken of Carol and Tim’ s store but did not know the proper way to credit them. As technology can prove to be tricky while in another country, I am unable to edit my previous post until I return…

Thank you so much for this gracious post. Your integrity is greatly admired and appreciated!

As it turns out, the photo I attributed to Cynthia Lively was actually taken by Jill Elliot, the owner of Haberdashery Boutique. Cynthia did a shoot in conjunction with Jill at Carol’s shop in which an almost identical image was taken. My apologies.

I wish you every success in your new endeavor, and hope you’re having the time of your life on your trip.

All the best,
Anne

AM I DREAMING?

      Dreams Can Come True I’m catching a plane in 6 hours to Provence, France to meet Tim and Carol Bolton on an antique buying trip. If that isn’t a dream come true, I don’t know what is.  When Smoot and I decided to open a small storefront on our proprety in Round Top, we were thinking mostly reclaimed…

The magazine is based out of Austin, Texas and features local artists, gives trend predictions, and delivers…
