Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic RETURNS!!!!

I am truly a loyal fan of Rachel Ashwell & the Shabby Chic style. For some reason I have always been drawn to shades of white, faded elegance and all that yummy crumply stuff as far back as I can remember but when I first discovered the Shabby Chic style I was hooked. When I heard the exciting news that her new book will be out soon I had to share this with my blogging buddies... As we know Shabby Chic closed it's doors this past year and it has also been a rough year with Rachael loosing her Mum but as we know when God closes one door he opens another...you go Girl!!!! Here's to all the Rachael Ashwell fans!!! ... Hope you are enjoying your summer... busy here working away. xoxo Laura

I cannot wait 'til your online shop is up and running! I l*o*v*e* the pieces i see on the sidebar...and I cant wait til you post pics of your house....and your expanded store! Next time I'm at mom's i am so coming to visit!

Dear Laura,
First thank you and your bro for the Pikolino's info! Found them~stunning!

Second, I didn't know Rachel Ashwell's mom had passed away. Once I saw her parents on her tv program. They were both lovely.

That her talent has evolved into her new book, is exciting! I will check it out!

You have a shop ~ I admire you! Retail, most people have no IDEA what all is involved, but it is something many people wish they had, I think.

Happy Sunday!

Hi Laura,
That is so wonderful to hear. Being a woman in business myself, my heart goes out to her. She is an amazing lady. I am sure she will come out of this (I think she already has), more fabulous then ever.
Big Hugs...

Hello Laura,
Guess it is a sign of the times even with Rachell. I used to sell to her before she came out with her first book...I have a lot of pillows and antiques in her first and second book. Might have to pick up her new book and see what she is doing now.
Take care
Blessings
Rebecca

This is such good news because I love her things and her style. I am hoping things are turning around for her.
