Dreaming {by invitation}

Labels: by invitation only, Dreams, family, food, french style, furnishings, lifestyle, someday, Vintage french

Dreams are such a fun thing. I have so many but there is one that keeps jumping out at me. I think it maybe more of a wish than a dream but I am truly not sure what the difference is any more.

I dream of having a wonderful place in France to spend time in with my family, when I say time I mean real time where we eat together outside, we cook together, take hikes and walks and learn about the surrounding areas. A home base to travel to new worlds together, just us, just for fun!

This beautiful home would be filled with my favorite of all favorites! Astier de Villatte dishes and furnishings mixed with amazing French finds from Brocantes and local artisans. Things would be striped down and natural just like the surroundings and the food. It would be amazing we would cook and read.

We would ride bikes around just so we could see everything and stop anywhere.

Eating outside as often as possible would be the norm..

My mind might even be free enough to have time to create some new classics based on old methods.

I would have the time and patience to learn how to draw and possibly paint.

A girl can dream right!

What about you what do you dream about?

Please take a minute to stop by and see everyone who participated today!!

It is all in the detail {by invitation}

Labels: by invitation only, details, doors

Gustave Flaubert, the French writer best known for his novel Madame Bovary, is generally attributed with the saying, "Le bon Dieu est dans le detail".

Over the years this expression has morphed and changed but the simple message remains the same...and that is… that whatever we do, should be done thoroughly and to the very best of our abilities. The details are what make all the difference...

In design the details make the space come together and in a home the details are what make the space special and what in the end is truly a home. A home is just a shell waiting for life to fill it up.

In much the same way we need each other to make those details of our lives come together into something really wonderful. All of that detail is so necessary to make us who we are.

Life is in the detail make them all special.

Inspiration by invitation...

Labels: by invitation only, France, Inspiration, vintage

A few of my favorite things... French Chateau's, Peonies, vintage and Astier de Viallatte. Surrounding yourself with people and things you love is the ultimate luxury. They don't have to be the trendiest, newest and the most expensive or but they should be what makes you laugh, smile and bring you joy.

"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, to all bravely await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony."

William Henry Channing (1810-1884)

Today's post is part of a wonderful group of bloggers who have been brought together by Marsha over at Splenderosa. This quote is a great example of how so many of us would like to live. Stop by and see what everyone has come up with.

Wishing you a wonderful start to the short week!
