Although the weather could not have been crummier ~ with rain, wind, drizzle, fog, and cold breezes ~ inside my home was hot with bright lights and lots of colour! Miss Fifi and "Dan the Photo Man" (I just gave him that name ~ I hope he does not mind) had their way with me, um, excuse me ~ this house.

It was an exhausting and exhilarating ten and a half hour day full of beautiful photographs, fun conversations, laughs, and lovely styling by those talented two mentioned above.

I was sworn to secrecy so I cannot show you any photographs, other than snippets and some details, but when it's all published in Cottage Style Magazine I will let you know!
Thank you to all of you who sent me the kindest words regarding this paparazzi party. I appreciate all of you.
Ciao amici,
Suzanne
