I love the photo on your header of your Mantle...it seems so perfect for a classy place in Paris! About 20 years ago I was a Nanny, and the family took me with them to Paris with them. we stayed for two months at her fathers' flat...the next year we stayed at their friends' home for a shorter amount of time (while the friends were gone). Paris reminds me of my youthful adventures....dreaming....

I love the crafting area that you set up for yourself-from your Big "A's" computer area, to changing area, to crafting area-wow!
I love your blog-keep up the great job! Erin : )

Love the blog - what a great way to inspire yourself and others in being creative. Also love the photos and especially the lamp modeling the lampshade you made. You're a good writer. Thanks for sharing!

Franca - LOVE your new blog. My only regret is that you didn't start it earlier. Where were you when my Dreamboy had all those work trips to Rome and I needed great tips about shopping and eating?? I practically lived at the Campo de Fiori and yet had no idea I was so close to the fabric district. C'est triste!

Also, your blog is quite inspiring. Now I'm having trouble deciding between reading it again and doing some cartonnage ... thanks for kicking me back into crafting mode!
