Happy Friday!!

Happy Friday! To all my North American readers, I am wishing you a fantastic long weekend, filled with sunshine, fun and loads of good times. I am off to the country for four days, looking forward to the fresh air after unpacking more boxes and cleaning up.

I am delighted to announce the winner of the book giveaway: Jessica Meddick! Congrats!!

Scenes from the weekend + Announcements

The first pictures were taken by me during the long weekend and I added pictures of my birthday gift from Dior.

I forgot to mention yesterday that I made the Ivy salad from Gwyneth's cookbook and it was DIVINE! 

I attended a cocktail yesterday evening at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to celebrate the announcement of an important donation by my friend Michel De La Chenelière to create a children's education wing. It will increase the number of annual school visits and the museum's educational curriculum. Bravo Michel for such a generous gesture!

Finally, if you happen to live in the Paris area ( lucky you if you do!) Please drop by the vernissage by talented artist Sophie Le Guillou this week, you won't be disappointed as she creates gorgeous affiches!

Happy Tuesday!!!

Hello dear friends, I hope you enjoyed your Labor Day long weekend! Mine was a mixture of fun & work, as I attended the Brome Fair with family, worked on my book on Monday while it rained and spent some time chatting with a local author. I also spent a lovely Sunday in Vermont, relaxing by the lake, browsing in bookstores and even making a pit stop at J.Crew.

I am attending an event this evening at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and am looking forward to wearing the vintage dress I bought while on vacation this summer.

I have some exciting things to share later this week, so please drop in again!

In the meantime, you can view my latest Ideabook on Houzz.com here. If you do like it, please share it on Twitter and Facebook.

Merci beaucoup!

It's still hot out so here's a tribute to the languorous days of summer for the long weekend ahead. I hope you take full advantage of the sunshine, heat and extra time off.   I'm on my way to somewhere very special for the weekend...more on that next week!

Bon weekend mes amies!
