My sister had been on a holiday last year and visited the Mount is Mass where Bunny had decorated the dining room. She bought the book An Affair With A House which led us to the garden tour.

How sweet of him to set this meeting up with Bunny. I ADORE her and was just reading her book (An Affair With A House) the other day and swooning. It's one of my all time favorite design books. She and her husband seem just as lovely as I imagined them to be.
