As most of you know ROMANTIC PRAIRIE STYLE has began to hit some blogs and stores and even Amazon has started to release it.
I am working on a book signing tour schedule and the first one will take place at the beautiful POSH ON PALM shop in Sarasota, Florida, on APRIL 9 from 5:00 P.m to 8:00 P.M.
Susie and Mark Holt, the gracious owners of the acclaimed shop, will treat you to hors d'oeuvres and wine, and I will be there to sign your copy.
So, if you are in the area, or close enough to take a drive, I hope you will be able to join us. I look forward to meeting you. Mark the date!! Thanks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Though not related to my book, I am making another little "appearance." This time in the form of a feature in the current issue of Jo Packham's cool magazine
in which Jo kindly included little old me in my guest house kitchen..........
The issue is now on the newsstands and it's full of great kitchen ideas and scrumptious recipes.
THANK YOU JO FOR INCLUDING ME! XOXOXO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CALLING HOMEOWNERS
Lastly, if you live in the New England area, I am looking for homes to shoot. StyleS can be from rustic to romantic. Let me know ASAP as I will be shooting there in early June.
HOPE TO BE ABLE TO INCLUDE YOUR HOMES.
Thanks for thinking of me.
I'm so excited!!! I ordered your book from Amazon months ago and I cannot wait to get my hands on it! Doesn't look like they've shipped mine yet, but I sure hope it comes soon! Sarasota is just across the state. I may take a little jaunt over there to meet you in person! How wonderful that would be!!

As I was thumbing through the pictures of "Where Women Cook" in Costco last week I saw your feature. I said (a little loudly)"Fifi's in it"!! My husband thought I was a little coo-coo, not having a clue who I was talking about. I told him you were thee coolest Frenchy in the world! Congrats on your feature, my favorite? The napa? cabbage used as a vase.

I pre-ordered my Book but haven't received it yet, thought the pre-order might arrive before it hit the bookstores. I'll be going to the bookstore to get my copy of Where Women Cook, I loved the premier issue and I'm sure this one will be fabulous too... congrats on being profiled! Your Kitchen always looks so inviting and fresh.

I bought the recent issue of Romantic Country, Summer 2011. I love it! On page 75 there are some hanging floral paper lanterns. Do you know where they can be purchased?
Thanks,
