I miss Victoria magazine – I eagerly anticipated the August “shops” issue – you were certain to discover a few new business to fall in love with, and make plans to visit. One shop I found in this manner is frecklefarm. I ordered the catalog in 2001 after reading about it, and was delighted by the photography and selection of objets. Last week, I serendipitously rediscovered frecklefarm in its new life on the web. Founder Robin Sherwood is now blogging her stories, news, and finds. In August, there will be a frecklefarm bedding line, and I believe that today she is updating StyleNews. You can subscribe to the StyleNews e-letter at her site: check the April 26 entry for details. On a personal note, I can say that Robin is an absolute delight to “talk” to. I look forward to her new designs.

Hope your Mother’s Day was restful. Pictured above are some irises we planted last summer – loving the spalsh of purple!
