 “After” “Before” If you were given the “pickin’ gene”, you know the feeling of exhilaration you have when your eyes land on something that speaks to you. At that moment you are not exactly sure of what it will become, you just know that you have to have it. Smoot and I…

 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. 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! 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,  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… Paige, what a Fabulous 2nd career!! I am so happy for you and will have to make a trip to Round Top to see your new adventure. Congratulations and Best of Luck to you on this. So excited to see what your new store will look like! Congratulations to you and Smoot! I am so excited for you and your new business. You are a major inspiration to me!  We were turned on to a beautiful on-line design magazine called Standard. However, it is anything but standard. Its editorial director and founder, Kelly LaPlante and publisher, Kelly Truesdell lead a group of young and hip staff members to produce a bi-monthly feast for your eyes. The magazine is based out of Austin, Texas and features local artists, gives trend predictions, and delivers… Thank you Paige!
