Sunny Weekend.

Image from Mary Engelbright's Home Companion July 2008

Wishing the rain would go away on this gloomy Friday! The cheery above photo is from Mary Engelbright's Home Companion and in fact, is of Mary's own home. Loving the summery citrus tones she chose. And I'll take 4 of those charmingly chipped vintage metal chairs. Please. And throw in the oversize floral painting and needlepoint pillow while you're at it. Have a great weekend.

I love Mary E. - She still can add a freshness to her rooms, but still keep them warm and inviting!

Come over for coffee this morning... I'm linked to you!

That is my favorite magazine but I can never find it anymore, especially in France.

Lovely - we've had a gray, dreary, rainy day here too!

Just what you need on a gloomy day. Thanks.

Sounds like a plan! I'll take the white pieces lining the shelves. :-)

Aren't those chairs great? They're French Tolix chairs (the ones pictured are new, but based on the old design). It's impossible to find that magazine in France. Luckily I can usually find one in London when I'm over.

I have always admired Mary E for her flair and her sunny illustrations. Have you ever seen her studio? I love it!

Oh I wouldn't mind the rains if I can stay in that place to just enjoy the luxury of boredom. So warm and inviting.

Mmm... I loved this picture. It was the main reason I bought that magazine. :)
