I also keep cuttings of saying, prose, verse that catch my eye, and pictures of afore-mentioned shabby chic homes in a scrapbook, for inspiration.pinkfairygranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497901949136714254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-46945074652606048892009-10-01T08:31:47.566+01:002009-10-01T08:31:47.566+01:00Definintely one of the downsides of living in Fran...Definintely one of the downsides of living in France.
