CHEZ FIFI

FROM FAR AWAY

I know my guest house has been featured in many US and European magazines but I am sharing this feature from DAPHNE'S DIARY, a lovely Dutch publication I work with because their layout is different and a nice departure from the usual. 

The magazine is not available in the States, unfortunately (they send me copies because Mark Lohman --photographer- and I have home stories in them). It's too bad because it's a very cool publication with lots of DIY projects. Maybe one day it will be sold here.

By the way, THANKS TO ALL OF YOU, my blog has now reached over    

TWO MILLION HITS

so keep checking for an upcoming "Thank You" Giveaway!

 

 

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Wonderful news are many times more wonderful when they can be shared, especially when so many people are intricate parts of a success, as it is in the case of ROMANTIC PRAIRIE STYLE. I know I owe it all to you for being so supportive and loyal, so it's only fitting to share this with you. THANK YOU!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Below are some examples of new pages that will soon be added to Chez Fifi. They will be representative of various aspects of my work (styling, creating, food, gardening, decorating, feature articles, and more.) Shawn and I are working on creating pages that will be link to one another and visually add to the blog.

  

 

                                

These are just a few samples..........

***********************

With the Holiday Season fast approaching my sister Sylvie (shappy@wanadoo.fr) has come up with a great gift idea: lovely wine bottle bags that are perfect for bringing a bottle of wine to a celebration. It's a most appropriate and thoughtful "hostess gift" and much more personal than the usual wine bag. Because of the bottles' shapes the larger ones are for white wine, the narrower ones for red wine bottles. They come with various designs and colors.

Get your order in now before she runs out! All you have to do is email her at shappy@wanadoo.fr

A votre sante!

By the way, she also has a new pillow with the Eiffel Tower. A splendid addition to your French decor. Oui?

Voila! That's it for right now. More to come. Hope you have a delightful Sunday.

 Stay tuned.........................
