Is it Christmas in July? I did score a Balsam Hill pre-lit Christmas tree (here it is new) for $10 at an estate sale yesterday…I love a bargain! But, no. It definitely aint Christmas. Just July and AMAZON PRIME DAY to keep us shopping. If you care to skip the hoopla and lovely French Country finds, here’s a ditty I wrote last Christmas. Alernatively, see this recent story about a gorgeous timeless home with inspiring ideas to take away.
However, if you are like me, keep reading since there is always something I need to order from Amazon or something new I had no idea I could find from this site.
In my French inspired courtyard in winter. Hello Lovely Studio.

Chairs
Set of 2 Louis Ghost Chairs, find here.
French-y modern Louis ghost chairs (go here!). Designers have been nuts about these for eons. I use these whimsical arm chairs for various purposes. Entertaining, seating outdoors (you simply wipe them off), desk chairs, and anywhere you don’t want to clutter with visual space and do want to inject a smile. Bonus: the chairs stack and are easy to store. Also, $143 for 2 chairs with free shipping is hard to beat.

Except you CAN beat that price for stackable metal chairs, almost as easy to store as the ghosties. $124.99 for set of 4, color choices, and free shipping.

Here is a great way to get your greens for better nutrition and health. This blend is a daily supplement for me. No gluten, 45 calories, neutral flavor, and perfect for stirring into yogurt, oatmeal, guacamole, smoothies, recipes, or just about anything. Because I am always on the look out for ways to ingest more green tea, this one delivers. With 30 servings in the bag, a month’s supply of superfood is super affordable.
