I keep some of my older country decor books mixed right in with my newer ones and I still refer to them. I have noticed that a lot if things are still used in today's modern country, farmhouse, French Country and cottage style homes. Timeless treasures are, well, timeless! I was happy to feature this fabulous post at TFT this week!

Although I lived in Brooklyn, NY, at the time I loved everything :country: My maternal grandmother had a small farm in Pennsylvania when I was growing up and I think my love of country style came from loving her and her homem which included a cast iron stove and pot belly stove! She kept chickens and her decor was very farmhouse. <br />When I moved to Colorado I had to give away all my old magazines and was sad to see them all go. I don't like the newer Country Living magazines as much as the original ones so i don;t subscribe presently.<br />Love your style and all the wonderful decorations you have!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700324863982616242.post-10949332382271969142019-03-15T21:21:42.131-06:002019-03-15T21:21:42.131-06:00Interesting you found your style and stayed on cou...Interesting you found your style and stayed on course with "French Country". I love the relaxed décor of your home. It is so important to love our home and I believe you love your home. There's no place like home. Is it possible to love our home too much? We love to spend time at home and sometimes it is hard to go out on weekends. Putzing at home - inside or out is my favorite pastime.

I couldn't help but remember when we danced on the back porch of your cabin to the John Denver music and the tears we shed. I love the look of your home. Not house. You have made it a cozy and welcoming home. Good job Sis.
