    I didn't know that she had a blog. I adore her style. It is one that has never been copied perfectly, because it is her.. oh so many have jumped on the Shabby Chic bandwagon, painting things white, rubbing them back.. but they all just missed the whole point.
    business is so hard the world over, we are going through a huge change. Not sure where to but it will surely bring us back to what is important.. I hope. xoxo

    Oh no! I also didn't know that Ms. Ashwell hosted a blog! If Rachel saw my house, she'd never believe that her beautiful company could be near bankruptcy. :o) I'm so inspired by her designs. Praying that she perseveres on and is very successful and blessed in her next endeavors.

    By the way, it's my first visit to your lovely blog (via Kate's Our Red House) and I'm really enjoying it! Your look is beautiful and I look forward to reading more posts!

    That is unbearably sad! and yes I am one of those who watched a business go down the drain,it is soul destroying,but its all I am hearing these days,I wish this awful state of affairs would improve its very depressing.

    Alas. Tis sad, but she won't be the only one in these troubled times. Am sure she will reinvent and become wondrous in no time.

    Its so sad to hear isn't it but I don't think Rachel will disappear quietly.

    I'm so lucky to have visited 2 of her stores and brought a number of products all stashed away to be displayed in my home when I get it one day!

    Oh I'm sure that Ms. Ashwell will survive on her millions. I think her shabby style was getting too over done and her things were always way over priced. And in this economy - forget it.

    But I do commend her vision of reusing the old. And I always admired her great love of her children.
