<i><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">...and that is a place many of us have to visit</span></i><span style="color: #666666;">...caring for a beloved mother, and helping her pass from this world into the next. We buried her in her beloved <a href="http://cityofapalachicola.com/History.cfm" target="_blank">Apalachicola, Florida </a>last week, and stayed at St. George Island for two weeks to relax and celebrate her remarkable life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">I've missed you, I've missed Provence, but the last ten months were precious to me. Mom and I laughed and talked our way through her days and nights. I made sure she was in her own home of 55 years, that she was safe and happy, with me in the next room. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">When she passed away, she was 98.6 years old, and her very last words to me were <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/See_You_Later,_Alligator" target="_blank">"See you later, Alligator"</a>! The portrait below was done by my husband, Chris Golson, a week before she died! I will love and miss Marianne Sloan Coombs Cunningham forever!</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;"><i>If you are lucky enough</i></span><span style="color: #666666;"> to be near the </span><span style="color: #bbdd66;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/SweetSouthCottage" target="_blank">Sweet South Cottages and Farm</a>,</span><span style="color: #666666;"> you will already understand why I am captured under its spell!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Owner Lisa Ard started her business four years ago with Annie Sloan Paints and a few antiques in one of the cottages on her large farm in north Florida. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">I drove out yesterday and found her bustling, growing and expanding to include new paints, art studios, wonderful newly painted old floors and lots of charming vintage things. The surprise was the huge greenhouse and butterfly house. Lisa is very busy developing "agricotourism" with tours of her charming </span><i><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Palais du Poulet</span></i><span style="color: #666666;"> and the butterfly haven, also on her beautiful farm, and I suspect we will see gorgeous plants coming out of her huge greenhouse!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">The most exciting news for me is her annual </span><span style="color: #bbdd66;"><a href="http://sweetsouthcottage.com/events/" target="_blank">French Country Flea Market</a></span><span style="color: #666666;">...now in its fourth year, and expecting over a hundred vendors next month! Wish I were going to be here October 23 and 24, but I will be happily roaming around my beloved Provence in the fall. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Here are some images of </span><span style="color: #ddbb66;">Sweet South Cottages and Farm</span><span style="color: #666666;"> and links to her market. Enjoy!</span></div>

Redwood City, and headed for the mountains. There we found ourselves in a
peaceful little lake cabin built in 1912 on the west shore of Lake
Tahoe. I can almost imagine a little <span style="color: #6aa84f;">"<a href="http://kenfulk.com/portfolio/" target="_blank">Ken Fulk</a>"</span> effect in this beautifully decorated tiny little homestead, can't you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Can
you hear the collective exhales as we settled in and explored our
little corner of the world? After walking the beaches, the trails and
wading in the streams, we made a leisurely dinner of BBQ tri-tip, wild
caught salmon and chocolate cake...delicious, and what could be more
American? That night...the shortest night of the year on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_solstice" target="_blank"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Summer Solstice</span></a>...we headed up the nearest mountaintop to help Chris set up his camera to catch a great shot of the Milky Way! </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">It was freezing up there...you can see we are all
wearing jackets and scarves. We waited until 10:45 pm...then Chris got a
beautiful shot! Don't miss it at the end of my post!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">If you haven't discovered it yet, and if you LOVE the night sky as much as I do, you MUST download the amazing app <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sky-guide-view-stars-night/id576588894?mt=8" target="_blank"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Sky Guide</span>.</a> We even watched as the <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><a href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html" target="_blank">International Space Station</a></span>
made its way across the sky. Without Sky Guide we would never
identified it. It will also give you more information that you can
imagine about every single star, constellation, planet, satellite,
comets and Deep Sky...all in real time and place. The app actually shows
the satellites moving. For $1.99 it is amazing to hold the entire
cosmos in the palm of your hand!</span><br />

<i><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">We went over to the sea Friday</span><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"> </span></i><span style="color: #666666;">for a romp on the beach with Nicky </span><span style="color: #666666;">the pup. We followed this with </span><span style="color: #666666;">lunch at the Miramar Beach House that we love because Nicky is always welcome and the fish tacos are to die for!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;">We visit here almost every week... and our little patch of the Pacific Ocean never looks all turquoise and aqua like it did on Friday! It's usually a dark greenish-blueish-brownish slightly murky ocean, but this time the sea had turned the most gorgeous shade of turquoise! Our jaws dropped and immediately I pulled out my iPhone to try and capture the color for my blog. As you probably know, that is a challenge with an iPhone, but here are my pictures from this beautiful, gorgeous, sunny-chilly afternoon at one of our favorite spots on God's green earth!</span></div>

Decide </span><span style="color: #6aa84f;">now</span><span style="color: #666666;"> to come with me on our first </span><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3478758/2015%20AUTUMN%20Chic%20Provence%20Tour/2015%20FALLbrochure-3smallfile.pdf" target="_blank">Autumn 2015 Chic Provence Design Tour, October 3-10, 2015!</a> </span><span style="color: #666666;">We are busy putting together a </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">new itinerary</span><span style="color: #666666;"> for this Autumn 2015 Chic Provence Design Tour!</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"></span><span style="color: #666666;">We are excited to bring you to </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provence#Gallery_of_Provence" target="_blank"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Provence</span></a><span style="color: #666666;"> in the fall... after summer's heat cools a bit, the days are still warm and sunny, and the harvest is in full swing...we'll tour vineyards, taste lots of wonderful local wines, cheeses, and produce, go on an electric bicycle tour through the gorgeous autumnal countryside (stopping for shopping and picnicking of course!) and visit old Roman villages.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">As our guests on the Chic Provence Design Tour you will stay in our luxurious huge villa, with eight gorgeous bedrooms, each with ensuite bath. We'll dine every evening in a different part of the villa, served by our amazing chef, Jon, who will prepare culinary wonders for us paired with local wines (Coˆtes de Provence, Bouche du Rhone, Chateauneuf du Pape, Bandol, Cassis), all organic, of course! You are always welcome to help Jon prepare our evening meals, and you will definitely learn a lot about the Provençal wines, cheeses, sausages, and produce. </span><br />

On the Chic Provence Design Tour, you'll be in the company of an expert interior designer to help you navigate your purchases and ship them home, and an experienced digital photographer as your photography coach, both of whom lived in Provence for a year and now live in California. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">My friends in Buffalo</span></i><span style="color: #666666;">, I feel your pain and I hope you will soon recover from the ravages of this apocalyptic weather. While never experiencing such catastrophic storm as the ones you are enduring, I once lived in sub-arctic northern Vermont where some winters we had to build snow tunnels to get to and from our homes, and we skiied from home to home checking in on each other. We too lived on a large lake, and endured the massive snowfalls, the eternal melting and refreezing, icicles like daggers hanging from eaves. I too would wake up to a world of grey, greyer and greyest. Even the light coming into the windows drained the very walls and rugs of any color. That is when I would begin my annual downward spiral and begin to crave the warmth and vibrancy of southern climes once again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Here, then, I offer a little respite for you. Come with me to the magical little village of Sayulita, Mexico, on the Pacific coast and at least feast on these sights for a few moments before facing your huge, snow-packed dilemmas. My little gift for you. And if you would like to come to Sayulita when you have dug yourselves out, I know the perfect little place for you to stay. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Dream for just a moment with me now! Winter really will end. </span></div>

<i><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">What could be better than shopping, lunching & laughing</span></i> <span style="color: #666666;">with your daughter all Saturday, having dinner with a dear friend then topping off the weekend prowling the </span><span style="color: #93c47d;">Alameda Flea Market/Antiques Fair</span><span style="color: #666666;"> with a wonderful friend you haven't seen in months? All the while with weather to die for...perfect temperature and not too sunny, not too foggy. I had such a great time... come along for some of the things we saw...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">There was definitely a blue & green trend showing in the stalls... fresh greens of every hue were worked into displays, and lots of blues showed up everywhere. This is not your ordinary flea market...vendors come from all over, including Europe. Many have shops back home and the merchandising can be stunning at this market. Or it could just be they used colors that go best with that incredible blue sky in the last shot!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">Although summer is not officially over, </span></i><span style="color: #666666;">doesn't it always feels different when the kids go back to school and the mood changes from flip flops in the sand to new school shoes and uniforms, yellow school busses and notebooks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">For us in Northern California, however, the real summer is just beginning, as the summer chill begins to dissipate and we have warm sunny weather for a glorious couple of months, before the rains (hopefully, we are in a drought) begin for the winter. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Here's wishing you a weekend like the one we had last week... lazy mornings in our garden then a romp on the "Disneyland for Dogs" beach in San Francisco with Nicky, our little Portuguese Podengo, who ran himself silly and dug a hole in the sand to cool himself off:)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;"><i>If you've lived in San Francisco for a while,</i></span> <span style="color: #666666;">you remember </span><a href="http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Antiques-dealer-Ed-Hardy-end-of-an-era-3162947.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: #bbdd66;">Ed Hardy Antiques</span></a><span style="color: #666666;">, just opposite the Galleria at the SFDC. His antiques store, housed in an Italianate palazzo, was gloriously opulent and beautifully staged in the stunning building that now houses </span><a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052748704436004576300181946707482" target="_blank"><span style="color: #bbdd66;">Restoration Hardware'</span></a><span style="color: #666666;">s flagship store... ceilings at least 20 ft. high, stone walls and a gorgeous entryway garden. It was a refuge for resting the soul after a day of combing through the contemporary furnishings and fabrics at the design center. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">The design world and antiques lovers were bereft when Ed Hardy decided it was time to pull up stakes and call it quits... this was in 2009, remember, when the internet and the economy conspired to put many a successful bricks and mortar enterprise out of business.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">I went to one of the days of his final auction, and left with this gorgeous bit of handmade Chinese work. I've just held onto it these last few years, not sure just what to do with it besides admire it greatly for its beautiful silken palette and exquisite beading and embroidery. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">Any idea just what this is? any ideas about how to display it? I've been told to remove the tattered "tails" and use as a jacket for myself, but can't quite see that! It is very fragile and was surely a ceremonial piece. I wish I had asked Ed more about it, but he was very, very busy a the time! </span><i><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Alors!</span></i></div>

Believe me when I tell you that my iPhone photos hardly do it justice. I'm sure the media will cover this one in great detail (maybe already out there? I'm still away on vacation!)

<i><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">...after a long hard work week </span></i><span style="color: #666666;">... she just might in the mood for a little down time with a pal looking at pretty things in the shops. Which is how I found my way to the </span><span style="color: #bbdd66;"><a href="http://www.johnnywas.com/accessories/scarves.html" target="_blank">Johnny Was Silk Bar</a></span><span style="color: #666666;"> and could hardly tear myself away. If you are lucky enough to live near one, get over there and be transfixed by all the gorgeousness at your fingertips! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">If you are always on the lookout for something unique to dress up your basic look (who isn't?) and are ready to spoil yourself a little, you will adore the </span><span style="color: #bbdd66;"><a href="http://www.johnnywas.com/accessories/scarves.html" target="_blank">Johnny Was Silk Bar!</a> </span><span style="color: #666666;">Here are some of the lovelies I considered, pondered over and played with. After all, at the Silk Bar you are free to play around with dozens and dozens of gorgeous 42" square tasseled silk scarves until your heart stops when you find the perfect one for you. All this seated on chic red enameled </span><a href="http://www.tolix.us/Tolix.us/Welcome.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #bbdd66;">Tolix</span></a><span style="color: #666666;"> barstools with the whole countertop to artfully arrange your beautiful scarves and see just which one captures you. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">Why stop at one? the shop displayed a mannequin with four scarves tied together</span><i><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span><span style="color: #e06666;">just so</span></i><span style="color: #666666;"> to create a languid and very sexy little silk dress!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Some of the colors and patterns are reminiscent of the beautiful things you find in Provence at </span><span style="color: #bbdd66;"><a href="http://www.souleiado.com/" target="_blank">Souleiado</a></span><span style="color: #666666;">. Can you guess which one I chose?</span></div>
