Macramé everything
Sorry........I remember these days
Tribal art/patterns/textiles/baskets, rugs........
The organic & textural nature appeals to me, I am really embracing this, in small doses it lives large
We might all keep this in mind
One of my besties, Lisa Burnett, is a master at seeing beyond a piece and elevating it to another level. I bought these for the shop; very old French wine tags framed…..FAB!

This Friday, we are opening my garden for an
English styled garden walk and tea.
As they do in Britain, a private garden opens for a charity.
Actually I live in Wayne but GPS will not take you there,
but will if you plug in St. Charles. How do you fix that??
a 366 acre 19th farm, homestead and museum
authentically preserved. The dedicated staff will
bring rare breed chickens
Pastries will be providdd by a local Geneva bakery and cafe,
Cocoa Bean, well known for excellence and originality
At 11am and 2pm I will provide a demonstration on
professional tips for cutting & arranging fresh
flowers
Can you come? Hope so, would be lovely to see you!
With love!
