images from a french country weekend

by Sharon Santoni
[blank]A truly lovely weekend here.  I am so fortunate to have such wonderful clients and guests who make my ‘working life’ such fun!
We shopped and shopped and shopped, and we ate well and took our time to enjoy a good view or an interesting looking detour – my kind of weekend!

Right now, at the end of the day, and still things to do …  just a few images to share… [blank]

Sharon,

I wish that I could spend an hour or two amongst the flowers in the photo above. Absolutely lovely… Can you please send me the info on the tour in September. I'd love to know more…

Blessings,
Shannon

The photo with the scalloped umbrella draped over the tree is amazing. Is that a bird cage on the table in front of the tree trunk? I would love to shop at this site!

Thanks for the photos…I continue to live in France vicariously through your blog.

Oh. my! I just now saw the carved wooden horse in the photo with the tree umbrella. I would love that, too!

Dear Sharon, Reading this post, I just thought "Sharon and I have a lot in common".

An odd-but-true fact (and one I've often stated to folks): I've never had a client I didn't at least find interesting, and I've genuinely LIKED almost all of them over the years. Perhaps this is because, like you, my "job" (and this is also something I regularly say when asked that confusing question "What's your hobby?") is exactly what I'd be doing if I were unemployed and trying to cheer myself up.

My actual response is usually "Well, I used to have a hobby, but then folks began paying me to do it….so I guess I don't HAVE a hobby nowadays."

It's not nearly so depressing a situation as it sounds.

Still (andin regard to your brocante-jaunts), isn't it surprising to be paid to do what you regard as "playing"?

Level Best as Ever, David Terry

Those tulips are divine & so are the rest of your brocante photos. Great post as usual Sharon!
