Celebrate the Sunshine

Cool, fresh air-

Clear blue skies-

A little shopping in Hico, TX antique's fair

and best of all, my niece will be here to share.

Life is good.

I thought I would add this last image as a bit of fresh, early summer inspiration.
Isn't this monochromatic blend of whites and creams so serene and relaxing?
I love the collection of pressed botanicals in the background.

The weather here is perfection.
The past few days, I've been leaving my windows open all day; I can't get enough of this fresh air!

Bon week-end à tous!

I had the privilege to design Homestead's flyer for the upcoming Spring Antique Fair May 7th-8th. If you live in Texas, it is probable that you have shopped at Homestead, whether in Fredericksburg or in Hico, and many of you have probably read about the Carol and Tim Bolton, the founders of Homestead, in Country Living magazine.

A couple of years ago, the Bolton's sold Homestead in Hico, TX to Mike and Brenda James, an incredibly talented and sweet couple.

Last October, Homestead in Hico hosted it's first antique fair, and due to much success Mike and Brenda decided to host this fair bi-annually in May and in October.

_{Some shots I took my last visit to Homestead...They always have the most amazing displays!}

If you live within driving distance, I strongly recommend you visit.
