By nature, nature

is elegant





refined



hauntingly beautiful







and breathtaking



providing us with a bridge upon which we cross the waters of inspiration



from nature's hues








and nesting instincts



in order to make our homes a place of repose











and personal royal treatment.







As you slip into your comfortable slippers



and putter around your home, open the windows of reflection and savor the colors and the scents of the season



as I welcome you to step through my doorway into MY home in the next several weeks.



In the meantime, sit with me in the niche of the Yew at Much Marcle



and dream of what marvelous things await us on the other side of the door at the Yew at St. Edwards;



perhaps it will be a magical soirée in an enchanted garden of wisteria that will inspire us once again to create an atmosphere all our own.



Merci mille fois for coming to participate in our birthday party; I know that we ALL enjoyed our special celebrations and you were a huge part of making this a memorable birthday for us all!

Bisous à tous!
