I know by now much of the country has lost fall's glowing colors, but in Texas, this is the color of November. The warm glow matches perfectly the color themes of the Thanksgiving holiday. Having always been one who loves summer, I usually enter fall dragging my feet a bit...but it is hard to deny the beauty of this time of year. </div>

I will be away from my family this year for Thanksgiving and I'm finding myself feeling a little melancholy about our family traditions I will be missing. I've been having thoughts about the conversations I will miss...the latest news on my niece and nephews. Also, my sweet Aunt's Liz's corn casserole and my Mom's cornbread dressing have crossed my mind.</div>

Round Top antiques show in Round Top, Texas was the most fun this spring. Fabulous antiques on the Texas prairie is my idea of good time. The location is about four hours from Dallas and it is the perfect girls' getaway. We set out with a small idea where it was located, and with limited understanding of the GPS systems on our phones, but we made it. It is all located on either side of the road on highway 237. Once you get there you just continue on 237 and discover more and more as you go. I would recommend giving yourself enough time to see it all. We had two days and wished for more.</div>

The next Round Top show is October 2 and I'm dying to go again.</div>

I love how there is a darling use of vintage out buildings for spaces and shops. It's hard to believe the town of Round Top can have a population of 90 when the antique show is not happening.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">We discovered a clothing line named Magnolia Pearl. The designer and her tribe of gypsy fairies are in their beautiful world of hay, burlap, linen and lace. I guess this has been around for awhile but it was all new to me and quite intoxicating. All her designs are made in Texas and hand dyed in the most subtle of colors, but it was the styling of the environment that inspired me the most. </span></div>

Rachel Ashwell loves Round Top so much she bought a ranch and turned it into a bed and breakfast named "The Prairie." We were excited to meet her and see in person how she has blended her English florals and California easy vibe into the southern landscape. It was all a lovely, feminine mix that we could not get enough of. We are longtime fans and our loyalty continues to grow. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span">The trunk show at Wendy Foster clothing store in Montecito was a huge success. </span>The California country vibe of Santa Barbara was a perfect fit for our French country style. <span class="Apple-style-span">It was exciting to see how many Texans were there too! The location in the upper village in Montecito is one of the most lovely places to be. </span>I loved the cool ocean breezes, and the maintain views. Beautiful environment, great shopping, and French antiques, What more could a girl ask for?</div>

I was in the medieval village of La Tour Blanche in the southwestern part of the country. My new friend and business partner, Audrey Friedman, is well known in the region for being a talented hostess. A 14th century pavillion at the end of her property served as our location. We decided to use "the Ivy" restaurant in LA as our inspiration. Colorful pillows and as many flowers as we could find developed our color story.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmTPTzF9wuROK9kQU-FhrkQoUZW_QK9ITRi6RJF93Su947aOAxm-_OldX0EE_Z4__uMn3O4YoKCoDZzISddefr3UnpIKC0ktk_30Ojd5WJetLBQiwFXMXhLivnM6JTLzzRClNSkWzyIfs/s1600/IMG_9501.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmTPTzF9wuROK9kQU-FhrkQoUZW_QK9ITRi6RJF93Su947aOAxm-_OldX0EE_Z4__uMn3O4YoKCoDZzISddefr3UnpIKC0ktk_30Ojd5WJetLBQiwFXMXhLivnM6JTLzzRClNSkWzyIfs/s400/IMG_9501.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707239520401946322" border="0" /></a>Because the light in France is so lovely, I felt no additional lighting was needed.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3DWCQ7bVkLuzN7lIJTd3o_cgd-XanBKxAjIRzD06n6NtmJgMCfBh8QuOT8RWR6Re8yI65x2arMSAB43lE6eVEIXJJ1evl26xwlHFWJzITFVMhIoaZa7SXZ_FK3r7oOhahi4RO-gCkslU/s1600/IMG_9503.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3DWCQ7bVkLuzN7lIJTd3o_cgd-XanBKxAjIRzD06n6NtmJgMCfBh8QuOT8RWR6Re8yI65x2arMSAB43lE6eVEIXJJ1evl26xwlHFWJzITFVMhIoaZa7SXZ_FK3r7oOhahi4RO-gCkslU/s400/IMG_9503.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707238959809890034" border="0" /></a>Oooh, those beautiful flowers!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiObSm442XErVyOlupKCYNGPn3jRbHomGOJMANzov6RDt8a0AfqE3cKaFnwqaP3zkks2VoQxjQQquaz1gmA4-Rx9cnT2b42c88yTwpHc0Lh-cqqaHTz6WxVCCwQ0qTTEYoqdlDb-rPycEs/s1600/IMG_9504.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiObSm442XErVyOlupKCYNGPn3jRbHomGOJMANzov6RDt8a0AfqE3cKaFnwqaP3zkks2VoQxjQQquaz1gmA4-Rx9cnT2b42c88yTwpHc0Lh-cqqaHTz6WxVCCwQ0qTTEYoqdlDb-rPycEs/s400/IMG_9504.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707238134576530130" border="0" /></a>Many of you may already know, Audrey and I are starting a French Antique business called "French Vintage Home" our collaboration grew from our love of adventure, travel, beauty, and of course all things French!

I'm always inspired by the amazing potted succulents at "Botanik" in Summerland ( the charming beach town adjacent to Santa Barbara). They're known for their sophisticated organic style. Their collection includes rare items from Europe and South East Asia for both interior spaces and private gardens.

It has been ten years since I lived and worked in the central coast area of California. We Texans tend to want to have our feet on Texas soil, but I do truly miss the natural beauty of the ocean and mountains. Not to mention the near perfect climate. I have been fortunate to travel back to Santa Barbara often to continue my friendships and renew my soul. Something about arriving in a small airport and being met with the scent of flowers is something I will always look forward to.

That effortlessly casual and relaxed look we all love. Having been in the business of fashion for over 30 years, the "dress shop" that Wendy oversees is known for the most artful collection of all their clothing stores. She has created a rare trouve' of beautiful luxury staples, one of kind items, and handmade ethnic items from around the world. In the know, celebrities and stylists often travel from LA to see what is new. Wendy's buying journeys take her from LA, to New York, to Milan and Paris for the selection of clothing for her store. She always has her eye on great design with a respect to what has lasting value.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Wendy and her husband, Pierre Lafond run an empire of businesses including four clothing stores, and interior store, a gourmet deli and restaurant and a winery. You may remember the restaurant as the location the Kardashian sister's visited on their girls weekend trip to Santa Barbara.
