pve design illustration - gifted to an inspiring blogger and decor aficianado and lover of all things with a french flair.
One of the best things about blogging is getting to know someone that you have never met. Spending countless hours reading blog posts and sending e-mails back and forth in the wee hours, one cannot help but feeling the connection to a coterie of blog friends. I could just dedicate a blog (or an illustration) to each one of you. You probably know which blogger this house brings to mind? Certain things remind me of each of you. 
Yep, I had to send this image to Cote de Texas and of course, Joni commented on the drop dead gorgeous Wisteria. When I drive by a home like this, I feel compelled to send it to her and say, "If you lived here, I know you would be a stalker." Am I right, or what?
My little girl took this photo. Can I tell you how much I adore the composition, the tree, the fence and the canopy of leaves. I think it would make a wonderful illustration. (hint to me) Add that to the pile!

Hop on over to "cote de Texas" as I just had to thank Joni with hosting a give-away of a pve design work of art. Leave a comment there to enter the give-away. (you have til Saturday) Blogging has given me a coterie of wonderful friends and advisors. Merci Joni.

Patricia, You beautiful blog is a constant source of enjoyment and inspiration for me! I love this post, and also the link to Cote de Texas. Thank you for all that you do!
Your daughter certainly has an eye for photography Patricia! I just left a comment on CDT and have my fingers (and toes) crossed that I will win and will finally have a piece of your gorgeous work!
Hugs~

I agree with Nancy - your blog is very inspiring!
You always introduce us to these homes of grandeur~ just lovely over at Cote de Texas. I'm dreaming of winning a giveaway...
You two are the best! Love this house too and those french windows and wisteria -right up Joni's alley!
Patricia,
I learned a new word coterie. Thanks. You're right about being up in the wee hours of the night. I'm going to pay a visit to Cote de Texas
Aw, this is such a sweet post- you really are the kindest, sweetest blogger I've never met but hope to one day.
Add Joni to that list too :)
Joni is certainly a Joy, I have had all the ups and downs of blogging with Joni and found her to be gracious, bodacious, outrageous,all in all a true blogging Goddess! pgt
What a pretty picture and a great house. I love joni too. I love the summery feel on your site these days! )
Patricia - you are amazing - so generous! I love Joni's blog and the skirted round table too. I was thrilled to hear about the give away - what fun. Happy summer - my three are out of school today.
I might even sleep in tomorrow and not read my blogs until after 7:30am. :)
This house is so beautiful and I'm so happy to call you my friend!
And, I do believe, your daughter will follow in your footsteps!
I would truly adore having the opportunity to live in a home like that. It's a dream of mine for a long time. Thanks for sharing the photos and giving me a chance to daydream.
Yes ma'am, I'm up at the wee hours of the morning. Well, 2:30 a.m. is late for me at my age! What a beautiful home..I agree!
Yes, Queen Joni is a true wonder. I'm sure she's got some Aussie in her genes with that wonderful self-depracating sense of humour that keeps us all on our toes! And of course, Blogland would be all the poorer without the beautiful & gracious world of pve.

Joni is a blogging legend as are you. Thank you for continually sharing your talent with us all!

Patricia,
Your daughter has an eye like you, her photograph is beautiful! Just came back from Joni's...I will be crossing my fingers!
Thank you and have a fabulous weekend!

I thought about you just the other day as I passed the amazing illustration (now framed and hanging in my entry hall) that you gave our family. You are a joy and a gift!
What a beautiful illustration and I can just get lost over a Joni's blog.
Patricia, I adore this post. You are such a sweet blogger and you always make my day with your kind words. She is going to adore that illustration. It's beautiful.
You are both so creative! Thank you for sharing your talents with everyone!
