Could it be French homemakers are as taken with English as we Americans are taken with French?
Not going to Paris? Try shopping online. Marche Saint Pierre, a well-known Paris fabric store in the Montmartre area, has an online store, and describes itself as one of the largest fabric stores in the world.
French script textiles have been popular for several years as a way to add French style to home decor.
Christmas, Valentine's, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and back-to-school all come to mind in just minutes for when to use a red French script pillow found here at home.
How do you use French script in your home?

Come back each Friday for another post in a design series that shows 1] a photo taken in France that illustrates French design and 2] how that design translates into our homes.
How do we know what IS French design? When selecting furnishings, lighting, and accessories, how do we decide what to use? Botanic Bleu will be providing examples straight from France through photos taken by me. Together we will study the photos.
For those wishing to have an authentic touch of French style, visit Botanic Bleu to go to the source through snapshots of French architecture, houses, textiles, metal work, food, woodwork, landscapes... and discover inspiration for creating
a French-inspired garden and home.
