the colors of the green and amber grass, the red barn and blue sky were so inviting.
I imagined if I could only spend my day relaxing like this - my life would be
fulfilled. Vermont at its best! Yves Delorme ~ Palais
Royal is featured on our cover this month showcasing beautiful bedding
and pillow accessories. Our model is wearing lounge wear by Natori and Michael
Rodriguez was on location as hair stylist.

many towns that offer the diversity and quality of shopping in one of the most
picturesque communities in the northeast. Not to mention all of the amenities
we have!
