Where on earth have I been, you might be asking yourself! Well, I've been very busy putting finishing touches on next year's Chic Provence Design Tour Printemps 2014! So many of you have asked me for details about next spring's Tour, so I'm announcing earlier this year!
You must come with us to Provence next spring! Nothing will put you in better spirits than knowing that you, cherie, will be exploring Provençal markets, chic shops and brocantes to your heart's content. And that you will experience Provençal life and its many beautiful aspects from a designer's point of view, knowing that every luxurious detail is taken care of for you. A little luxury on a Provence tour that will soothe the soul.
We are so excited to announce our fourth annual springtime Chic Provence Tour to the heart of Provence, for May 17-23, 2014. You will find incomparable inspiration for your Provence design ideas and projects on our tour in the company of like-minded souls. We will have a different design topic for each day's discovery, so bring your design project ideas with you...and get on the spot advice and inspiration, and choose things from the amazing treasures of Provence flea and antiques markets for your own home.
C'est fantastique! Cherie, you must join us! You know you want to. You need this trip! You must enjoy a Provence Tour in 2014!
