The last part of my trip to France included a train ride to Toulouse, meeting my second art group with
Dayle Doroshow and a drive to
Durfort-our home for the next week at
La Cascade. This group focused on art journals and dolls made with items found in local markets and a theme of ancient France. My favorite book was our idea collector.

I love seeing the pix from your trip! I may make the envelope book. I wonder what the back of yours looks like. Thanks for all of the great photos!
I'm anxious to see the real thing, Paula. Bring it to my house next week to show us.
This book is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen!! You MUST bring it to Play, and put chains on it, because it might find it's way into my suitcase...
GORGEOUS!!
