Here's the website: http://www.lerouvray.com/ <br /><br />The owner, Diane D"Obladia is a friend of mine--and I have had the great pleasure of visiting her shop a several times, and worked with her (I was the acquisitions and technical editor--and on-location photo stylist) on the quilting book that was published in 1994. It was great fun (especially when we ran all around Paris shooting "mood" and inspirational photos for the book)--and the book turned out so well. I got to know several of her colleagues and shop workers. Diane is an ex-pat American. When she first moved to Paris from Michigan, after college, she modeled for Chanel and Dior. Also, in her first marriage to an older French gentleman, she lived in a gorgeous chateau. She is so very charming--and passionate about the arts and quilting, and is a very saavy businesswoman!<br />I am also passionate about the arts, quilting, and would love to live in Paris! And...to make a few euros...I'd love to work at Le Rouvray!Kerry of WAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-65061573611702466282012-01-06T07:35:36.453-05:002012-01-06T07:35:36.453-05:00I would work at Sennelier .
