Good morning! Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful weekend. Ours was thrown off by my husband getting a stomach bug so our fun plans fell flat and its been a low key weekend (not by choice this time)! Got to play a little pickleball, my son and his wife took Phillip on his second little vacation so I am missing them but enjoying their daily recaps. Today is my middle son’s birthday! My husband is feeling well enough to go out later for a celebratory early dinner. Afterall, another trip around the sun always needs celebrating.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, catching up on work and soon to start a very exciting design project, so have plenty to keep me busy. OK, onward to my post this Sunday-<\/p>\n

1 A LITTLE UPDATE ON MY OWN HOUSE PROJECT! <\/strong>Our reno project is humming along and as we slowly leave the less glamorous, least exciting chapter, and\u00a0 starting to move onto the fun part, where things are starting to happen that allow us to start really visualizing the home stretch.<\/p>\n

With luck we will be there in Dec so we still have a long ways to go but we are getting there. A reminder that I started a Instagram account devoted to our renovation, you can find it here at enchantedhomereno<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 I also do my Renovation Diary posts here every 3 weeks or so.Here are a few pics-<\/p>\n

2\u00a0ON MY BUCKET LIST! <\/strong>Have you ever been to an authentic Brocante fair in France? It is on my bucket list, closest I have gotten is going to the Paris Flea Market which was amazing (3 times).<\/p>\n

But, I long to go to an authentic Brocante fair in the country, where the pace slows down and you might be more inclined to linger and take your time a bit more. Sharon of my French Country Home<\/strong><\/em><\/a> would be the first person I would contact. She conducts tours and is a bonafide expert. I love following her and her beautiful French country life, its like a French country fairytale.<\/p>\n
