home sewn & happy after the rain......

.......i am having the most gorgeous morning after a seriously wet school drop off...with a bit of a cloudy head after a wonderful & very funny {!!} chinese new year dinner with some gals last night........

.....the postman knew i needed something special to get me through the morning....
.....he knew it had to be something in a brown box preferably marked 'amazon'....

.....he knew it had to arrive before i dived into the tin of scottish pancakes a special friend had made me to have with my 'after school drop off' cup o' tea.....

....& he came through for moi!

here it is, my waited for, & to be very loved book, 'French General Home Sewn'.....

just looking inside makes me desperate to go back to France...& brocante rummaging....

"une vie creative commence a la maison"...........a creative life begins at home.........

there is a little house in the beautiful village of cabrespine that my parents shared with us last summer...& i can almost hear it calling my name....i really can.........
