………………….On the windy day of Angela and Chantal’s arrival……we unpacked the car, and got situated in the bedrooms. We went out to lunch at an outdoor restaurant [no pictures], but we kept getting attacked by yellow jackets, and Chantal was very afraid…..so it was a short lunch, and the last of the good weather. We were still full from the late lunch we had, so instead of dinner we had munchies by the fire…..Salsa, guacamole, chips, cheese and wine….We went to bed early, because we knew we had a full day ahead……………….In the morning I was up early, 6am, and got ready. I let the girls sleep until 7:30 and then I started calling out…..”THE BRITISH ARE COMING….THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!!” IT’S TIME TO GET UP!!” They eventually got up, got ready and we went off to breakfast at a local diner in Darien. The place was packed….I’ve never seen so many children, 90% blond, in my life…….a real petri dish of germs……..After a delicious breakfast we went up to my studio and went through samples that I still had. We had a fun time going through it all ….the memories!!! It took quite a while going through it all, laughing and telling stories along the way…..Of course we all got a little thirsty with all of this laughter and story telling….so it was time to break out the wine!……..Afterwards we went down stairs where Chantal gave Angela lessons on how to “STRETCH” to relieve lower back pain…….We spent the afternoon lounging on the couches drinking wine….watching the STORM and the waves crashing outside. The girls were mesmerized by the crashing waves. They had never seen a storm before at my house. Somehow they always came when the weather was beautiful……..but we enjoyed it……Chantal and Angela were to cook a delicious meal later for dinner so it was lime to relax after a very busy morning.
Thank you so much, CGee!
Yes, I remember that Louis told us that he bought the berets from a European source that sold them on Ebay. I knew I wrote he company name down somewhere but couldn’t find it anywhere.
I really appreciate your help!
I just love how you guys are all life-long friends! BTW do you still have the name of the Ebay source for your berets? I’ve always loved that look that you perfected when you dressed the QVC models from head to toe with the perfect clothes and accessories! It’s been said so many times before, but boy do I miss shopping for your outfits on QVC. No one even comes close!
Not sure what you mean by the name of the ebay. Linea by Louis Dell’Olio is on ebay, apparel and jewelry, and Anne Klein apparel and jewelry.
Long ago on the blog Louis gave us the name of the beret source: Company Jedrzejko is on eBay and you can order their wool berets from Poland. I have a few and they are all great quality and shipping was reasonable.
