Riddle: What do Keats, Delacroix, a Shepherdess and Marie Antoinette have in common?
Here’s a sample of my Everyday Château newsletter. It’s full of classic, elegant living with enough GRIT to keep it real. This is how I share life, humor and upcoming events with my subscribers. I’d love to send them to you, right to your inbox, once or twice a week.

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness…
FINALLY.
Since April, we’ve had such beautiful weather here in Door County—sunshine, warmth, and those beautiful blue skies that you can only find next to the Great Lakes. Pristine weather has its drawbacks, though—we’ve had such a drought that I fear for many of my perennials, no cozy August thunderstorms, and no October misty mornings until this pre-dawn moment.
Houston, we’ve got mist.

As much as I live perspiring in my garden and on the beach ALL summer long, it looks as though it’s finally time for cozy morning fires, comfort food cravings, trench coats, and riding boots. I’m NOT a pumpkin spice type. It’s been SEVENTY degrees all week here and a girl just wants to wear her chic trench coat to the Pig!
Vive la fall fashions!
Speaking of fall fashions. I’m that Momma who often dresses up with her kids for trick-or-treating. Let’s not forget my hair-brained idea to turn a million hydrangea into a Marie Antoinette dress and wig.FULL VIDEO DETAILS HERE
I’m not really into skeletons and whatnot, and all that garbage sugar. OIE. The kiddos aren’t allowed to keep anything with food coloring. Garbage chocolate? I suppose, sigh, but I draw the line and food coloring.
I digress.
Sorry.
Slowing stepping away from kid’s health soap box….Fully restored and looking magnificent. Yes, that’s the t-shirt image you’ve often seen me wear.
Always available in the Parisienne Farmhouse shop.
I do like to play dress up, though. I never shed that aspect of my childhood, and I’m still feeling all the Paris vibes… I’ve only been home a few weeks, after all. I suppose Liberty Leading the People would be bad form with kids-n-all, so I’m going as Joan of Arc. If I can’t do Delecroix, then a 17-year-old shepherdess turned bad a$$, why not?
Looks like 40% chance of rain. Here’s hoping my hair will stay straight. Ran into the Louvre a few weeks ago to say, Bonjour, to all my ladies… Liberty, Joan, Three Graces, Nike, Venus…
