<i><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">...and that is a place many of us have to visit</span></i><span style="color: #666666;">...caring for a beloved mother, and helping her pass from this world into the next. We buried her in her beloved <a href="http://cityofapalachicola.com/History.cfm" target="_blank">Apalachicola, Florida </a>last week, and stayed at St. George Island for two weeks to relax and celebrate her remarkable life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">I've missed you, I've missed Provence, but the last ten months were precious to me. Mom and I laughed and talked our way through her days and nights. I made sure she was in her own home of 55 years, that she was safe and happy, with me in the next room. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">When she passed away, she was 98.6 years old, and her very last words to me were <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/See_You_Later,_Alligator" target="_blank">"See you later, Alligator"</a>! The portrait below was done by my husband, Chris Golson, a week before she died! I will love and miss Marianne Sloan Coombs Cunningham forever!</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;"><i>If you are lucky enough</i></span><span style="color: #666666;"> to be near the </span><span style="color: #bbdd66;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/SweetSouthCottage" target="_blank">Sweet South Cottages and Farm</a>,</span><span style="color: #666666;"> you will already understand why I am captured under its spell!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Owner Lisa Ard started her business four years ago with Annie Sloan Paints and a few antiques in one of the cottages on her large farm in north Florida. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">I drove out yesterday and found her bustling, growing and expanding to include new paints, art studios, wonderful newly painted old floors and lots of charming vintage things. The surprise was the huge greenhouse and butterfly house. Lisa is very busy developing "agricotourism" with tours of her charming </span><i><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Palais du Poulet</span></i><span style="color: #666666;"> and the butterfly haven, also on her beautiful farm, and I suspect we will see gorgeous plants coming out of her huge greenhouse!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">The most exciting news for me is her annual </span><span style="color: #bbdd66;"><a href="http://sweetsouthcottage.com/events/" target="_blank">French Country Flea Market</a></span><span style="color: #666666;">...now in its fourth year, and expecting over a hundred vendors next month! Wish I were going to be here October 23 and 24, but I will be happily roaming around my beloved Provence in the fall. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Here are some images of </span><span style="color: #ddbb66;">Sweet South Cottages and Farm</span><span style="color: #666666;"> and links to her market. Enjoy!</span></div>

Redwood City, and headed for the mountains. There we found ourselves in a
peaceful little lake cabin built in 1912 on the west shore of Lake
Tahoe. I can almost imagine a little <span style="color: #6aa84f;">"<a href="http://kenfulk.com/portfolio/" target="_blank">Ken Fulk</a>"</span> effect in this beautifully decorated tiny little homestead, can't you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Can
you hear the collective exhales as we settled in and explored our
little corner of the world? After walking the beaches, the trails and
wading in the streams, we made a leisurely dinner of BBQ tri-tip, wild
caught salmon and chocolate cake...delicious, and what could be more
American? That night...the shortest night of the year on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_solstice" target="_blank"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Summer Solstice</span></a>...we headed up the nearest mountaintop to help Chris set up his camera to catch a great shot of the Milky Way! </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">It was freezing up there...you can see we are all
wearing jackets and scarves. We waited until 10:45 pm...then Chris got a
beautiful shot! Don't miss it at the end of my post!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">If you haven't discovered it yet, and if you LOVE the night sky as much as I do, you MUST download the amazing app <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sky-guide-view-stars-night/id576588894?mt=8" target="_blank"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Sky Guide</span>.</a> We even watched as the <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><a href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html" target="_blank">International Space Station</a></span>
made its way across the sky. Without Sky Guide we would never
identified it. It will also give you more information that you can
imagine about every single star, constellation, planet, satellite,
comets and Deep Sky...all in real time and place. The app actually shows
the satellites moving. For $1.99 it is amazing to hold the entire
cosmos in the palm of your hand!</span><br />

<i><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">We went over to the sea Friday</span><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"> </span></i><span style="color: #666666;">for a romp on the beach with Nicky </span><span style="color: #666666;">the pup. We followed this with </span><span style="color: #666666;">lunch at the Miramar Beach House that we love because Nicky is always welcome and the fish tacos are to die for!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;">We visit here almost every week... and our little patch of the Pacific Ocean never looks all turquoise and aqua like it did on Friday! It's usually a dark greenish-blueish-brownish slightly murky ocean, but this time the sea had turned the most gorgeous shade of turquoise! Our jaws dropped and immediately I pulled out my iPhone to try and capture the color for my blog. As you probably know, that is a challenge with an iPhone, but here are my pictures from this beautiful, gorgeous, sunny-chilly afternoon at one of our favorite spots on God's green earth!</span></div>

Decide </span><span style="color: #6aa84f;">now</span><span style="color: #666666;"> to come with me on our first </span><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3478758/2015%20AUTUMN%20Chic%20Provence%20Tour/2015%20FALLbrochure-3smallfile.pdf" target="_blank">Autumn 2015 Chic Provence Design Tour, October 3-10, 2015!</a> </span><span style="color: #666666;">We are busy putting together a </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">new itinerary</span><span style="color: #666666;"> for this Autumn 2015 Chic Provence Design Tour!</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"></span><span style="color: #666666;">We are excited to bring you to </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provence#Gallery_of_Provence" target="_blank"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Provence</span></a><span style="color: #666666;"> in the fall... after summer's heat cools a bit, the days are still warm and sunny, and the harvest is in full swing...we'll tour vineyards, taste lots of wonderful local wines, cheeses, and produce, go on an electric bicycle tour through the gorgeous autumnal countryside (stopping for shopping and picnicking of course!) and visit old Roman villages.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">As our guests on the Chic Provence Design Tour you will stay in our luxurious huge villa, with eight gorgeous bedrooms, each with ensuite bath. We'll dine every evening in a different part of the villa, served by our amazing chef, Jon, who will prepare culinary wonders for us paired with local wines (Coˆtes de Provence, Bouche du Rhone, Chateauneuf du Pape, Bandol, Cassis), all organic, of course! You are always welcome to help Jon prepare our evening meals, and you will definitely learn a lot about the Provençal wines, cheeses, sausages, and produce. </span><br />

On the Chic Provence Design Tour, you'll be in the company of an expert interior designer to help you navigate your purchases and ship them home, and an experienced digital photographer as your photography coach, both of whom lived in Provence for a year and now live in California. </span><br />
