I'm Susan — devout Francophile, mother of twins, writer, creative director, and aspiring author. I've been sharing my life here since 2010...thanks for reading!
Today is mr. fleurishing's birthday! My husband shys away from praise and attention, but I would like to say publicly, that he is the most incredible man I know…his generosity, patience, and kindness of heart continue to amaze me. His positive attitude and silly humor are infectious, and he brings joy to all who know him (and even those who don't). I am honored to go through life by his side…
happy birthday hubby!
My grandfather built beautiful dollhouses, and I was the lucky recipient of 3 of them in his lifetime. He donated most to his church, and was passionate about his hobby…only stopping when he could no longer handle such tiny parts with care. I have always loved miniatures, and I decorated my dollhouses continously, and am convinced it played a big role in my interior design career! Recently, Emily Henderson (of HGTV fame) launched the "I'm a Giant" challenge, encouraging us to build or buy a dollhouse, decorate it, and share the fun! Well Emily…I accept, with glee! I will be repairing and renovating the custom dollhouse above (that's how it looked when I was 12)…I can't wait to share my journey. It will be sweet & sentimental for me, as well as fun! Are any of you taking the challenge?!
We spent Saturday touring the gorgeous pennsylvania countryside, and seeing some of the most amazing and historic homes in our area. Not only was I overwhelmed by the beauty (like this vista), but by the birthday wishes and thoughtful gestures by my friends. So much of that love came from people whom I have met here, through blogging and social media, and I am so very appreciative of this community. I am so honored and proud to be a part of it, and I am feeling very grateful. Thank you all…xoxo!
