Lucky is the person who gets to spend the morning with Stephanie from STEPHMODO!!

YES...that is right I had the funnest time meeting Stephanie. I've been following her blog for a long time and am struck

by the elegance and delight that each post contains. 

I want to live in FRANCE and stay in their amazing

"La Maisonnette", a cottage on a hill in the France!!  

OK ANYWAY!!  I asked her if I could advertise the Autumn Art Show on her blog, Stephmodo, and she said yes and offered to help me take some pictures of the gourds to post. 

WOW I was honored to meet her.  She is as kind and elegant as her blog. She has a 3 week old little one and I got to hold him while Stephanie took pictures - That Was Awesome!!  Thank you Stephanie for your help and your inspiration.  I am so glad to be your friend.

Here are some of the pictures she took...
