This past weekend I was honored to be at
"How it all Began" workshop held at
The Prairie in Round Top, Texas.
I can sum up those few days in one word - WOW...
Although the workshop focused on Rachel's newest book release,
The World of Shabby Chic
we all gained insight of her journey far beyond any book pages.
I would like to share with you what I saw through my eyes...
Grace. Style. Beauty.
Nature. Color. Timeless
Elegance.Charm.Inviting
Talented.Soulful.Radiant
Details.Special.Comfort
Aqua.Whimsy.Quirky
Breezes.Country.Lace
Shiplap.White.Sparkle
Layers.Subtle.Gold
Farm.Faded.Relaxing
Our choices for Saturday day afternoon were:
a) Shopping in Round Top
b) Photo shoot for Rachel's
(That was a no brainer for me...)
A small group of us followed Rachel and Sarah around and tried our best to be flies on the wall.
(Not so easy for women who like to talk...)
Final photo of the bedding...
Rachel's attention to small details gave it the,
"I want to live there," look.
We moved out to the "wash" line. This took awhile to get the best shot, but again,
Rachel has a clever eye so it all pulls together.
My photo of what the final shot ended up as... Sarah will tweak hers to perfection.
Yes, even Rachel has a building full of her finds!
These treasures are waiting to make their way to L.A.
I was truly inspired by Rachel's journey.
She is a beautiful person inside and out.
Thank you Rachel for a weekend that I will not forget!
Until we meet again!

You were a lucky girl to get to go. I'm excited to be taking my mother there this weekend. It's almost become a tradition to do this. Happy Mother's Day weekend my friend.
