I love the details.
I love the little extra touches in this world.
I love vintage treasures.
I love the search for those treasures.
Awhile ago I told you of my heartbreak that a trip was sold out.
This weekend I received an email from Kaari Meng letting me know that they are taking deposits for the next trip in July and that it would be open to the public come Monday.
Well….I am going this time.
My deposit has been made and I can't wait to enjoy the beauty that the South of France holds.
To make things even more incredible…….
my friend Jackie will be on this trip with me.
After my time at the Chateau Dumas my husband will meet me in Paris for a romantic rendezvous:-)
My cup runneth over.
My Grandma used to always say that when things were almost too good for words.
When your heart is so full of blessings.
That is how I feel!!!
Now…I need to work on my French and TRY to be patient for July!
The food.
The chateau.
The company.
The fabrics.
The wine.
The flea markets.
Have I ever told you that I am not a patient person?
I think we may be eating Ramen for awhile to pay for this trip and Anthropologie-it was nice knowing you!

how exciting Jeanne!!! good for you:)
How absolutely exciting for you, Jeanne! I’m SO happy for you – you will have an incredible time, I’m very sure of that. p.s. everyone at the flea markets in Texas loved your ruffle tote and my custom badge. I even got to meet The Flying Bee there because she had the same tote! Sometimes it’s just a small, stylish world, isn’t it?
Wow how very exciting.
I can’t wait to hear all about it.!!
Bryan and i are headed in June and then Bryan will head home and kim will arrive…and we will explore for another week.
our little dreams are happening!!
now I am the one jealous…….
You are a lucky girl – it will be amazing
That is awesome! You will have an amazing adventure!
Yay! Yay! Yay! I’m so happy for you. Hugs and kisses.
I will live vicariously through you! I’m so happy you get to go. How amazing:)
I am so stinkin’ excited for you … and to experience the trip through you!!!!
Oh that IS a delightful anticipation to enjoy! How fun it will be!

Oh Jeanne, that is amazing! I am absolutely green right now. I try to tell myself that I can’t go right now anyway. I have little children who need me and once I go I might not come back;)
Get out!!!! This is so great! And I am so jealous 🙂 It will be here before you know it – yay!
Yippy! I had read about that trip last year and thought it sounded fabulous. I can’t wait to see your photos of it when you return!!! I wish our trips overlapped and we could “do lunch” in a cafe somewhere~
xx
how fun! You know, you can make Ramen noodles taste pretty good if you keep throwing stuff into the pot. But I’m jealous that you get to go to France! 🙂 Want to take me with you?
Yay!! I am so excited…I’m not patient either! That’s funny about you and Kelly – John and I were talking about the same thing…meeting up in Paris (we’ll see). Eating Ramen was how we bought our first house, and it’s still a good idea (just add veggies to the top). I’m now just throwing my catalogs out as they come in – no more shopping for now – I will save all my pennies for vintage linens at the French Flea Markets!!
Oh, I am ssssoooooooo jealous! You are going to have the best time! We want details!
I am so excited for you Jeanne, what a wonderful trip and experience and to be able to go with Jackie, makes it even more of a blessing! you better take your camera and document everything…learn French, it will get you FAR, trust me!
Oh how fun! I am so very jealous. I will have to live vicariously through your pictures. Beautiful post.
Blessings,
Shawn
Jeanne!! I couldn’t be more excited for you. France is one of my ALL-TIME favorite spots….Paris, the South – doesn’t matter. The food, the architecture, the TREASURES – old and new. The French do it well.
I can’t wait to hear all about it – I bet July seems SO FAR away!
xoxoxo
Oh Jeanne….I’m so excited for you…and ever so slightly jealous…but mostly excited!

How stinking FUN!!! So great.
I thought I was the world’s least patient person.
How amazing will this trip be?!?! So lucky – you will be in bliss. I know what you mean about the ‘patience’ thing 😉 It will go faster than you think….isn’t that what happens after you turn 30??? haha
Jeanne I am so happy for you- I know you will have an amazing time. Life is so full of sweet blessings.
Oh that’s my dream come true… Live it up girl!!
I’m soooo jealous!!! lucky, lucky girl… I can’t wait to hear more about this!
Wow. All I can say is WOW. What an incredible blessing!! And a romantic rendevous to boot?? Does it get any better than that? Hmmm. I don’t think so!!
You sure have me ready to see your pics when you return!! It’ll be awhile, but I’m ready!!
My dream getaway is Italy. Maybe one day! You give me hope that’s for sure!
Have a great Wednesday! So happy for you!

Oh Jeanne! That is so amazingly exciting. You totally deserve this trip and I hope you have a wonderful time!
And… I received my parcel in the mail from you yesterday. Thank you thank you thank you. I haven’t even had time to look at the book yet, but I will save it for a day when I am not so unbelievably busy and pressed with time. I kick my family out of the house, make myself a cup of tea and revel in the silence of the house and the beauty of Blogging for Bliss.
Thank you again! XOXO
