I've been to London to visit the Queen, Queen of Shabby Chic that is. Rachel Ashwell.As mentioned in my previous post, Rachel Ashwell has been a big influence in my life.
What I didn't tell you was that I was actually going to be able to meet her.
This month found my husband traveling to London on business and the beauty of his business is that I get to go along on some of his trips. It just so happened that the trip lined up perfectly with Rachel's Grand Opening of her new shop in London and there was going to be a party.

This lovely lady, dressed in a pretty vintage prom dress, greeted us with champagne.
Floating down the stairs to speak to her guests, our gracious hostess took time to warmly greet each one of us.
Her shop was filled with many well wishers so I couldn't really get pictures of how beautiful everything was inside. But that was fine with me. It just meant another trip back and she encouraged me to do so as she would be there for the next week or so. I couldn't think of a better place to come while hubby was working and I couldn't think of anyone else in London that I wanted to spend time with except the Queen. And so I did!
