Guest Room

“Toile de Jouy” is a fabric that was manufactured in France in the 1700’s. Scenes featuring the French countryside, showing people at work and at leisure along with hunting scenes, were the most predominant. I love French style anything, from food to fashion to the country itself. Being a fan of toile myself, I had our guest room wallpapered in a taupe/black and beige print, and also had the draperies and the bed skirt made to match. I agree that toile is not for everyone, but I truly love it!

Favorite Things

I Love Jadite and this is part of my collection; I've been collecting it for about 11 years. I use it quite often for dinner parties and holidays. Jadite was manufactured from the 1930's to the early 70's by several companies, Mckee, Jeannette Glass and Anchor Hocking. Anchor Hocking was the largest and most well known producer of Jadite. In 1942 Anchor Hocking introduced a line of ovenproof glass called Fire -King. It was produced in several colors but jade (Jadite), became the most popular of all.
