I was doing a Google search a few days ago looking for something to do with Rachel Ashwell, and came across a blog by a decorator called Decor8. You might like to check out her blog.
This lady did an interview with Rachel Ashwell late last year on what Ashwell will be up to in the future. I really love anything Shabby Chic although I'm not a hundred per cent sure that I'd like Rachel Ashwell herself, she looks scary to me somehow, but I love what she does and I think her taste is impecable.
So I thought I might put the link here so you can go have a read. I enjoyed it as it had appeared to me that she had pretty well disappeared in the last three years and the only thing she was really doing was getting busy discontinuing all my favourite fabrics and not replacing them with anything that has appealed to me. So it was nice to see it looks like Ashwell is going to get going again in 2008.
It will be interesting to see what she comes up with. One thing I noted which I was quite pleased about is that she is releasing her television series on DVD so I'll be hoping to buy those as I had all mine saved on video and I don't even own a video player now!
I hope you enjoy this interview.

Hi! I found you thru my traffic feed, someone came from you to see me! Your blog is stunning. It's the most Romantic I have seen!!! Thanks for the ashwell post. I do believe she stalled out because she was doing too much zen inpired decorating on the show, seems I got bored with all that white and a vase with an orchid in it decorating ! I hope she has some Romance lined up for us all now. Thanks bunches for adding me I'm honored. Hugs, Kimberly

Hi Vickie Welcome to Blogland.
I came via Natasha's blog.
Love Rachel Ashwell's style and it will be great if we get her DVD's out here in Australia too. I enjoy flicking through and reading her books.

Hi there, I found your new beautiful blog when I was reading the forums at MMP. I love your new "old" home. It looks a lot like the stilted cottages at my favorite beach. You have done a gorgeous job on your new blog. Come visit me when you have a chance. Smiles ~ Lynn
