If you are interested in visiting Versailles this weekend, but can't get your passport ready in time, please take a trip to Fleurish ! Located in The Old Lucketts Store, eight miles North of Leesburg, Virginia, Fleurish is a French-inspired shop of luxury and timeless chic, owned by my friend, Karen Watson, who also has "Graphics Fairy " blog that you all enjoy so much.
Beautiful antique furnishings, lamps, glassware and mirrors that would make The Queen envious, await you, along with a carefully selected collection of imported papers, soaps and cards....the temptations are everywhere and irrisistable in this petit trip to France.
oh....darn! Hoping it was a little bit closer....

I want your picture , lol. It's just plain mean-spirited to tell me about shops I'd love to go to but are a bzillion miles away from the middle of nowhere - which is where I live lol.
Poop!

Do any Chicago area shops sell your slippers? Mama needs a new pair of shoes.

With wide, lush skirts such as those one could hardly see the beautiful dainty slippers hidden beneath.
But then again you only have to visit Fleurish and you can view the tiny creations for yourself and imagine them dancing down the corridors of Versailles.

Thanks, thanks, thanks for all praise you left on my blog, you are so very kind. You rock the slippers and all the French shabby goodness. Wish I lived closer and could check your incredibly gorgeous work out for real at Fleurish. You are an inspiration to this Bella wannabe!
