Fabulous FiFi and her magic cottage

I would like to direct your attention to the most recent issue of Coastal Living and it's wonderful feature on the Fabulous French FiFi!

I have posted about her shabby chic style before but am doing it again, in case you missed it(you can't stop me!!)!!

Her cottage is covered with the palest, tenderest pink and then there's the spring, pale green trim....The fence has a riot of purple passion flowers threatening to knock it down, so lush are the vines...

There are little touches of relaxation here and there through out her yard: a hammock, a chair, an iron daybed with a canopy above and roses and everywhere are angel trumpets hanging with the loveliest color of creamy silk peach blossoms.

When I walk Sadie by, I have to not look sometimes, because when I do pause to drink in the blissful yard and garden, my steps have faltered...my walk has turned into a drag and I want to push open the gate and hop on the hammock and let Sadie chase squirrels and doze in the dappled sunshine at my feet....,

Now, I have to recommend that you get Coastal Living while they are offering this free trial issue because the rate is 60% off the regular price if you do decide to get it - and you will fall in love with this magazine...$16 dollars for 10 issues is pretty great I think!
