As a French teacher, I have had the wonderful opportunity to live and travel in France over the years and to visit and be a guest in beautiful homes, like this <i><a href="http://confessionsofaplateaddict.blogspot.com/2008/11/little-cyber-vacationora-week-in.html">farmhouse in Provence</a> </i>where I spent some time a few years ago. How could I help but fall in love with<i><b> </b></i>French Country style! But eventually the birth of my first grandchild drew me back home to Georgia. And I knew what I wanted to do…<i>create a little bit of France in my own home!</i> So I began to look for pieces that reflected what I had seen in France ..<i>.especially the warm, sunny colors of Provence! </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguoEKBmBHJUta0c9gs8sR21wIR24R5kVYaqmQtVTHAaB3kQqY-lIKsVvOreTIjuKx9NWuffkRwVNaAIqXCuApryqMNyAI65L-_nH1_ZZCeICe0RN2mJs5_AqnmksKmBC_eeUqI_OY6GkHC/s1600-h/IMG_0076_thumb55.jpg"><img alt="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Entry" border="0" height="504" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju1tDuYodk_FejIIQmo6qs5n9E0ILwgJnwrrOYQsWbr0qX_X1v7jEgilsOBtQm84JTXX_HXtVpJ1NmF0jr7zpPVrYLe8H1aurK245qRghkXx6nU4WVRyfHLYY103rCViYCwV1tbi7jc8ju/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Entry" width="585" /></a>When you enter, you are greeted by a little candle surrounded by thrifted vintage forks and tied with a Provençal print ribbon.
