children off in other parts of the world and being touched by their
experiences and having some of our own. A highlight was 4 lovely
teenage girls from Finland staying with us for 9 days during the
Piedmont East Bay Children's Choir International Choral Festival.
Choirs from 10 countries and states came together for a week of
bridging cultures through music. Being a small part of the amazing
team planning this event for over a year, then seeing it all come
together this week has been thrilling. Truly unforgettable.
But now I'm ready for some concentrated "hunting"!
In just a few days, I leave for Paris to comb the flea markets and
street fairs all over the City of Lights. I'm staying in a charming
apartment overlooking the Eiffel Tower in the 7E, just a couple of
blocks from the Rue de Cler Open Markets. Many days will also
be spent soaking up inspiration from the art galleries and couture
shops. Fashion and interior design go hand-in-hand, with trends in
color and style crossing over. Walking the City, taking in the sights
and boating down the Seine (not to mention eating all the fabulous
foods!), should keep my creative juices on overload. I plan to blog
each day to let you in on what I've found. To say I'm excited would
be an understatement!
The HUNT for a new location for "Thrill of the Hunt" continues. I
know the perfect spot is out there, it just hasn't presented itself yet.
I appreciate all of your ideas, referrals and positive wishes. It is a
leap of faith to move "Thrill" from its cozy nest, but I'm a believer in
the possibility of great things, so keep the ideas coming!
The next "Thrill of the Hunt" is September 27th, Sunday only. The
Annual Heritage House Tour is that same day. Be sure to check back
for details on hours of operation and location of my sale. French finds
will be unpacked and ready for you to take a little piece of Paris to
your house.
Enjoy the rest of your Summer ~
Au revoir!
Laurie
