Summer in France!

It's that time of year again...we're starting to make plans for our Chateau Getaway Summer 2012. We've got two wonderful weeks planned for next summer - both involve lots of flea markets, food markets, crafting, and eating!
Week one, we are excited to have The Gilded Life in France, with Shea Fragoso and Debbie Murray coming along to teach us how to uncover gold (in the name of old textiles, paper, notions and jewels) and then craft the gilded way. Shea and Debbie (a fabulous mother-daughter duo) have been crafting and creating for years - you can read more about The Gilded Life on their blog What Happens Next.
Week two, we are thrilled to have American Quilt Retailer return again and host Handmade in France, a creative week featuring artist Charlotte Lyons, who will teach her inspiring stitching workshops. You can read Charlotte's musings' on her blog House Wren Studio.
If you have dreamed of living in the rural countryside of France, with a house full of like-minded women, surrounded by sunflower fields, then you will love our week in France. For more information or to sign up for a spot on our Summer 2012 Chateau Getaway please drop us a note at notions@frenchgeneral.com and we will send you all the information.
See you in France!

I just signed up and can't believe I will be in France next summer with you! Thanks for the opportunity to fulfill a dream.
