When we 'met' online a few months ago, it was like a reflection from my life amongst the prairie lands of Illinois to her home an hour outside of Paris in the l'Eure Valley.........
Sharon, from My French Country Home, and I have talked already about me coming to stay at her home she rents.......having our coffee and getting to know each other more.........I can already see it..........this is where it would be.........

some of the earthly things we have in common are:
horses
love for our daughters
a sense of poetry
an ever growing linen collection
and the appreciation of living life on a farm
and well.....many more things as well.....
Sharon's posts take me to another place........deep within a friend's home and garden where I'm overwhelmed with attention to detail and beauty.....a ride in the country with her daughters as they picnic under the trees in a nearby valley.....
it's a definite daily read for me
she also has a wonderful shop online where you can find things like this:
 | |||||
| authentic French bed linens.... |
 |
| A pure French linen Monogrammed Nighshirt |
I even acquired about the home of her dear friend who happens to be selling their maison....talked it over with my husband even!!
It is just perfect sounding.......but alas.......it's still for sale......
Sharon is so sweet for featuring me on her blog today!! I hope you go say hello!!!
Relatives from the south are visiting this weekend, which we are all so excited about around here....she's expecting her 9th baby and I'm so glad she's coming!! She's such an inspiration to wives and mothers......
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend....

It sounds like Heaven to me (sigh)! Who wouldn't want to do something as lovely as all of that? Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to MOVE to Paris?!
ReplyDeleteWow... her 9th baby! She's the one who deserves a trip to Paris (giggle)! Enjoy your visit with your family, Anne Marie.
Hugs ~ Jo :)
What a gorgeous piece of property and home! I hope you get to stay at her home and sip your coffee together.
ReplyDeleteheart skipping beats. what would i do to have real french linen in my hands..xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful place. I can easily imagine you there. But, if France is a bit too far for you to travel, you are welcome to sip tea with me here in Michigan.
ReplyDeleteAnytime , my sweet friend!:)
xo,
Melanie
thanks so much for pointing me in the direction of yet another french nightgown, which i practically live in. there is nothing like real french linen sheets and nightgowns. do you agree?
ReplyDeletemerci,
shelley
I'll split it with you - You can have the maison and I'll take the Little House. Our husband's might go for that... right? =}
ReplyDeleteI love visiting your blog! Our family is actually camping up in Door County right now. I'm sitting in our 1972 red & white pull along camper with my 9 year old daughter. We must have been looking out the windows for 5 minutes or so wondering where the sounds of the cows and loons were coming from here at the beach. We cracked up when we realized it was coming from your blog. LOL
Hope you're having a wonderful time with your friends! Blessings... Polly
Anazing! I am off to check out her blog and shop. What a beautiful garden. I'm going to pretend I'm there and NOT here where it's supposed to be around 104 degrees today. YUK As always, thank you for the besutiful and inspiring post.
