Girls, I have been meaning to share photos of one of the things I have been doing these last weeks when I had little control of the events of my life.
Susan wrote this to me a couple days ago and I hope she does not mind me sharing. "When things around you are difficult, you react by creating something beautiful. And you live in it because beauty is your refuge. I just wanted you to know that I see that, understand it and marvel at it."
The new tables are Fermob a beautiful line of french furniture Chicweed on Cedros carries. The wall hangings and many of the pots are also from them. Three very talented women, who can turn succulents into floral arrangements. Also, quite a few new pottings from me during times between doctors and waiting. And then there is always Freddie. My ever present doting boy. Terrified of the Ott light, but brave in most other ways.
Oh Gail,
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely beautiful. The division between house and courtyard is fading. It looks so liveable! How wonderful to pass through that lovely space on your way to the Marshmallow and see it all from your den when you are watching t.v. with Joe, sipping wine. While I love all of it, I am particularly smitten with the wreath. I love wreaths ... I think that is an East Coast thing.

What a santuary you have created, just looking at it creates a peacefulness and I too love wreaths. So beautiful! L,M
ReplyDeleteGail, it is a beautiful space. I particularily love the rug. it creates a lovely indoor-outdoor feeling. I hope all is well with my girls. We spent the afternoon at Dumbarton Oakes, the most wonderful outdoor space anyone could imagine. Now, after 2 dirty martinis and a batch of wayward boys (try to deal with that when you're tipsy!), I'm looking at emails, and see that Marcia is rethinking the concept of 3 Needles... This is the time to rethink, that's for sure. I'm sure you will all find the right course of action. Only wish it was the right time for me to be in the mix. I've been so excited about it all. Can't wait til we are together again. Love, Val
