Thank you for putting together this collection of blog posts each week. While I probably enjoy the beautiful home decor the most, I also really enjoy articles related to crafts (like your mason jar printables which I have printed and used), shopping (it’s always good to get a consumer’s recommendation on products) and cooking (I love no-fail entertaining recipes). Thank you for inspiring me daily with your beautiful photos and articles.
Thank you, Ruth!! It’s great to get the feedback to know what people most want… 🙂
Look forward to your emails!
THanks, Rachel!!
Enjoying a little bit of French decor suited for daily life. Love your posts on the outdoors. Congrats on 200–quite a big achievement!
Thank you kindly!! There’ll be plenty more French decor coming… 🙂
Love all the great ideas always contained in this series. Thanks also for the giveaway. I’m currently redesigning my craft room/home office and this would really be nice. Some really good ideas in your home office post. I also really need that desk chair!!
Thank you Cathy! And yes, I highly recommend that chair. It is SO comfortable!!
You and I have coffee together every morning. I am a decorator also. I enjoy seeing all of you and the different styles. Good job, my friends!
That is so great to hear, Theresa! Should we have scones with our coffee tomorrow… 😉
Your articles are great but I enjoy the pictures you post and any craft or DIY. Thank you for giving something to stretch my mind.
Thank you Peggy! (I enjoy the pictures more, too… ;-))
I have been able to “tweak” things in my home based upon your style advice and love the shopping links.
Have a great weekend. Sarah
Thank you so much, Sarah! I’m so glad to hear the style advice inspired you… 🙂
Congratulations on the milestone! I’m looking forward to many more
Thanks so much!!
Your articles have been a life saver in this time of confinement. I look forward everyday to reading and reviewing your inspiring designs, comments, and learning new tricks for making my home more enjoyable. The craft ideas are fun, too. Thank you for all your efforts.
What a wonderful thing to hear! Thank you!!
Dear Lory,love to receive your emails.
It is great to get wonderful ideas.
I adore your pictures all the time.
Stay safe
Oh, you’re so kind! Thank you!!
I always enjoy your Saturday collection of posts. Nice way to spend the early morning in the garden with a cup of tea, relaxing and reading about beautiful homes. Inspiration sets in after my second cup of tea.
Oh, that sounds so relaxing! How nice to hear!!
I think this blog is so beautiful and adore the different textures and hues in these photos. I will definitely subscribe to the free guide.
I’m so glad to hear that!! Thank you!
Just like a magazine, it has a nice variety of ideas. I always love the decor features, but the tabletop photos give me inspiration that I am do able with what I already have.
Stay tuned for more tabletop coming!! And thank you!
I absolutely love these collections each week and am including some of them in my home here in the UK.
They offer easy to copy designs for every room for all sorts of home styles and ages of houses. I live in a Victorian semi- detached on the beautiful Isle of Wight and the coastal designs are of particular interest to me.
Well done on a great website!
Oh that sounds fabulous, Carole! Did you know English Country was my first love, before I started adding French style in?
Love all the inspiring pictures…I get so many ideas for my own home from browsing thru these posts.
The shopping links are also helpful. Thanks.
Thank you! So glad to hear it’s helpful to you!!
Love your site and look forward to it everyday.
Thanks so much, Sharon!
One of the best parts of my Saturdays is reading this post!
I’m delighted to hear that!!
Thank you for the chance to win. I really enjoy these posts each week.
It’s our pleasure and I’m glad you enjoy!!
Hi Lory, I love getting this in my email on Saturday mornings- it’s a nice ritual to pop over and see what everyone is up to in their homes. Thanks!
How lovely to hear!
I’m a devoted reader and winning would come in so handy since I’m decorating a new house. Thank you!
Congrats on the new house! And how nice to hear you’re a devoted reader… 🙂
I love all your table settings esp the flowers. Always so beautiful
Thank you! I’m glad to hear that because I have a new one coming up… 😉
Love the Saturday collection. Good design ideas and a giveaway. Always a good thing.
Thanks for the kind words!!
Your emails are the only ones I look forward to! The photos are always pretty and they give me ideas for my own spaces. I also like your “shop my home” and Amazon shop pages. I have gone back to them many times. Thank you!
I’m so glad to hear that!! Stay tuned for more!
I LOVE everything that you take the time to share with us! Love, Love.
Thank you kindly!
Thanks for letting me dream about beautiful spaces for a little while.
Aww, sweet dreams!!
My “homestyle” has improved tremendously since I became an avid fan of your Saturday posts. Congratulations on this special milestone.
Thank you so much!!
I love all of these blogs, but one of my favorites is your DIY Decoupage with the blue and white Chinoiserie with yellow tulips. I bought all the supplies and just haven’t had time to do them yet. It’s the first thing on my “must do” list! My small kitchen is white with my Italian “blue willow” dishes on display. I really can’t wait to add the finishing touch, thanks to your DIY!!
That’s wonderful to hear!! I’m so glad you were inspired.
Did my comment not go through?
It did! I’m sorry – I was delayed in replying… 😉
Hard to choose between this and the country French Friday for a favorite. Looking at these posts are like eye candy, you just keep wanting more and more…..
I’m SO glad to hear you like both!!
Congratulations Lory – and I’m certain the next 200 weeks will be fabulous!!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to have my Saturday morning coffee and scone and savor all the beautiful and inspirational design ideas! Absolutely adore the gorgeous table settings and all the beautiful “fleurs”.
Merci Beaucoup!!!
So glad to hear that!! I actually realized I haven’t done a new table setting in a while, so you can look forward to one upcoming… 😉
I enjoy this blog hop and have for quite awhile. I find so much inspiration! I’ve never had a natural talent at decorating, but since I began following you I can say that I’m definitely learning and getting better!
I especially like the budget friendly decorating tips, and ideas on transforming thrift store finds. I have an affinity for thrifty deals! Luv them!
That’s awesome!! You’ll find plenty more coming… 🙂
You have such a lovely home and I love all the blogs in your group. Thank you for so much inspiration.
Thank you so much for the sweet words!
Thank you for all your wonderful Saturday morning emails! It’s a lovely way to wind down a busy week, and enjoy something inspiring to do for my home. Be it a beautiful new table setting, a new way to look at home decor, new ideas for my garden, or an array of other inspirational things, it always makes me reach for something better. Thank you!
I’m so glad to hear that!!
I enjoy the various ideas. The fact that it isn’t a cookie cutter design page. I love the unity of all the ideas coming together. The decorating, useful tips, recipes, prints great job. I enjoy reading this everyday.
Thanks! That’s so great to hear… 🙂
Just found your blog. Looking forward to checking out all your decorating tips and ideas.
Welcome!! I’m so glad you’re here!
I love this site. I see the most beautiful decor.
Thank you, Mary!
I love your blog Lory, you have impeccable taste. I love seeing all the beautiful things in your home. We have the same taste in so many of your beautiful items. I always look forward to your posts. Thanks for bringing so much joy into our lives.
Thank you for the kind words, Judy!
Hi Lori! I needed your office makeover inspiration to get started on my own project. I always enjoy your feminine French Country style! It gives me plenty of ideas to finally buckle down and start planning.
I’m so glad you are inspired!
