Shortly after, I received the nicest email from a lady named Annamarie saying, "I think that book is mine." To be honest, at first I was thinking who is this person claiming a magazine photo? But then, the story started unfolding and to my delight, I met the sweetest friend. All from one little picture.
And this...
It gets better. She so graciously sent me her own photos of her home. I was like a kid in a candy store!
Not only does she collect all this pretty stuff, she sells it too! (Ebay seller name- bocarose)
Boca Rose has been B-listed. Unfortunately, Annamarie doesn't have a blog but I think she should, don't you?

Be still my heart!! What a beautiful garden and I love her red mulch as it covers my tiny back yard too. But the porch is the porch of my dreams!! It is absolutely fabulous!!
Thanks so much for sharing and please let Anne Marie know that she SHOULD have a blog!!!!!
