I was so excited to go to Round Top and as expected, was overwhelmed by the magnitude of the selection of antiques and embellishments! My head was spinning with the possibilities! Wish I had a bigger house and more craft space...
Round Top: table after table of endless embellishments...

These are a couple of French recipes I framed and have in my kitchen. One is in my grandmother's (memere's) handwriting and the other is in my mother's handwriting. I had the recipes translated so they can be passed down to my daughters.

I made these pillows from needlework done by my French cousin, Bernadette.

I found these great old French postcards at our local Antique Mall this past weekend. I also found a beautiful pink glass eiffel tower for my daughter's vanity. Score!

After dinner, we went to this little French cafe for pastries...yum... My daughter, Nathalie (the French spelling--"H" is silent), took us to this great French restaurant when we went to visit her in New York this past weekend. That's her with my other daughter, Noelle. The restaurant was so quaint and the food was wonderful!
Welcome to my world of French inspiration. I was born in France and spent my early childhood in a country village, before moving to Texas. I was always inspired by my mother's french heritage. This is reflected mostly through my decorating and mixed media art. I live with my husband in Austin, where my now grown two daughters also reside. Come join my petit monde Francais.
