I realize this has nothing to do with paganism, but it is a passion of
mine. I absolutely LOVE Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic™ style. I have bought many of her books and I've
decorated my own house in the style that Rachel made famous. Thank you so
much, Rachel! I always knew that I loved pink flowers, pastels, whites,
creams, light greens and blues, and beautiful (mostly white) furniture
with gorgeous details and accents on them, but I never realized I could
decorate an entire home that way until you came along and made it okay for
me to indulge in my fantasy. Now my house is totally done up in pinks and
whites with antique furniture and Shabby Chic style. I think it is so
pretty!
