CHEZ FIFI

MOVING ON..........

Hi everybody!

No, I have not been riding around in this cool pick up truck (I wish! But this photo was taken at Rich and Lisa Adkins home during the shoot of the book). I have been missing for a few weeks thanks to a miserable virus that was debilitating and didn't go away with antibiotics. Fortunately, penicillin finally did the trick and I am feeling better.

Meanwhile I also had to work on Romantic Country.

Also started to promote my book and I am so lucky to have lovely people (see links below) helping to do just that.

I also made a little photo album and if you click on the link below it will take you to it. You can view the photos full screen and adjust the speed of the slide show.

BUZZZ......BUZZZ...

Hello my little "Prairie Friends"......

Here I go again....like a pesky little bee buzzing and buzzing...

But I have to let you know about a giveaway from

 ANNE MARIE OF NADA FARM 

 

You might know that Anne Marie and Jason's home is featured in

ROMANTIC PRAIRIE STYLE

(above-little insert) Anne Marie and I taking a break (notice the shoeless fashion statement!!) after carrying bales of hay and furniture outdoors to set up one of the shots. Thank you Anne Marie, I could not have done it without you!

 

(Below) A very limited peek at some of the photos from NA-DA FARM shots for

Romantic Prairie Style

(all photos by Mark Lohman)

....and an even smaller excerpt from the Na-da Farm chapter......

"Spring flies in on the wings of the songbird, vegetables fresh from the potager herald summer, golden grass and milkweed's silken seeds signal fall. Even winter's chilling winds and ice storms provide beauty and enjoyment when the old barn's foundation becomes a skating rink for the family. With every passing year, life on Na-Da farm comes full circle........"

 

 BUT what you might not know is that Anne Marie is hosting one of her spectacular events this coming May.

The NOT-TO-BE-MISSED happening will take place on

May 20th from 5-8pm and May 21st from 10-2pm

on the grounds of the famous farm. But, you MUST be aware of ANNE MARIE'S warning:

"I, Anne Marie, am not responsible for any overdose of sugar from my organic carrot cupcakes, or the mega chocolate filled cupcakes with chocolate frosting."

I, for one, am looking forward to "overdose" on these goodies since I will be there to do a

Romantic Prairie Style book signing.

I do hope you will be able to come and enjoy the festivities.

Until then: ta-ta!
