If you follow us on this blog, you'll know that we've been in Round Top, Texas, for the mother of all antique fairs this side of France. And here's our take on it: Texas, we love you! This was us at the fabulous Marburger Farm. What a fun week it's been. From genuinely lovely, caring and hospitable people (Brenda, that's you, girl!) who have welcomed us to their Airbnbs … [Read more...]
From bonjour to howdy – we’re going to the Round Top Antiques Fair!
Next week, we're exchanging our bonjours and ballet flats for howdys and cowboy boots. Yes, we are packing up a giant truck and bringing our Huff Harrington goodies and one-of-a-kinds to Round Top, Texas for six fun days of selling at the famous Marburger Farm at the Round Top Antiques Fair. Are you a Round Top newbie? That's fine - because we are too. We first heard … [Read more...]
Paris Restaurants
It seems that we get requests almost daily from friends and family looking for Paris restaurant recommendations. Judging by the number of blogs we’ve written about the subject, it’s fair to say that this is a favorite topic of ours … and one that we continue to expand upon (in more ways than one!) every year. We certainly can’t offer the exhaustive list, nor do we pretend to … [Read more...]
Shopalooza!
Today's blog is a special treat for us, because it was written by a guest blogger, Lori B. Carter, who was a "camper" on our last Paris Shopping Trip. Be sure to read Lori's wonderful descriptions and her cute writing and we think you'll agree with us that it's just delicious! Shop-y-vous? By Lori Carter Yvette: “Would you be interested in a buying trip to Paris?” said … [Read more...]
Painting Lavender with Bethanne Cople
What a glorious week of painting in Provence with Bethanne Cople! Bethanne is one of our very talented plein air artists who is an equally accomplished and wonderful teacher. With patience and humor, Bethanne weaves into her teaching so many words of wisdom that we could probably write a whole book on it (OK, maybe next year!). This trip was extraordinary. Inspired by … [Read more...]
Small Space Renovation Paris
Welcome to our small space renovation in Paris ! We love the challenge of a really small space renovation in Paris! Remember the little engine that could? Or in our world, the Parisian studio that wanted to act big? Everyone thought we were crazy to buy it, and in the last chapter, we wondered if our small space renovation could be saved. After a few hectic last … [Read more...]
2016 French Trip Dates are (almost) here!
Hang onto your beret: our 2016 trip dates are almost here! We love any excuse to go to France and nothing makes us happier than gathering a group of like-minded women and escorting them to Paris and Provence. We're excited to offer a selection of trips that hopefully appeal to lots of you. If you adore the thrill of the hunt and obsess over anything Louis XV or XVI, then … [Read more...]
An Appetite for Paris – Our Top Restaurants
We Huffingtons are asked on a regular basis to recommend our favorite Paris restaurants. And this year, my bosses told me that I had to update the list so that we could provide our friends and clients with an easy reference. But oh mon dieu, zis is tres difficile, since we love so many restaurants! After much discussion (over many delicious meals!), we decided that the … [Read more...]
Christmas in Paris
This is THE busiest time of the year for us at Huff Harrington Home (and at Huff Harrington Fine Art, too) and we typically post a mandate that says "all hands on deck until Christmas Eve". That pretty much wipes out any fun trips to places like Paris, where we'd all love to be right now. Ahhh, Christmas in Paris: we can only dream... If a sleighful of elves magically … [Read more...]
Before and After, Part II – The Paris Apartment
Our little Huffington world has been spinning! We've just finished two fabulous trips to France (if you missed it, here's a taste from one trip), we've turned our store completely upside down to make room for a boat load of new goodies, and some of us are back to France tomorrow for another two trips: Painting in Provence and Paris and Provence. So, given the … [Read more...]
