You don't think the owner of Vital is really a Vampire, do you? I just read that in the paper, and apparently he prefers blondes. Remind me to stay out of that store.

Two weeks early! I can't believe it myself. I'm the master of design, it's true. Thank you, thank you.
Today was my last day at the Chedsey Castle. Twenty two separate spaces have been filled with Lavender Design. They were really pleased with the end result and even more pleased that they could finally move in completely. Mrs. Chedsey said she would drop my name at their house warming party and invited me to help celebrate. I can only bring one guest.
I spent today doing last minute colour touch ups and taking pictures of each room for my portfolio. It's really quite an honour to have the Chedsey Castle in my portfolio. Mum owled me today simply to tell me how proud she was of me. I love my Mum.
Oooh! But my favorite room is the Library. It's very Victorian in style, but off set with a Japanese flare. They wanted netsuke in there and I had no idea what they were talking about. I had to do a little research and a lot of shopping around, but I found this little antique shop outside of London that had a load of them. Oh! And the book shelves go on for days and days. I don't know how they're ever going to fill all of those book shelves. There are priceless vases all around the top of them and I special ordered every single molding in there. The wood is this dark maple with just a small coat of alkyd varnish so the wood really shines.
Oh, I'm babbling, aren't I? I get so excited after I'm finished with such a large project. I don't have anything else this large lined up yet. I'll need to make some more contacts at this party.
