Coco Chanel's villa on the French Riviera is up for sale again. The house was purchased by Wendy Reves in 1953 and furnished to suit her high style tastes.

Here's a bit more about Wendy. She sounds high maintenance all right, but fun, too.

Why am I interested? Wendy had needlepoint pillows with sayings on them in the house. They are still there. I hope she stitched them herself while sitting on a yacht somewhere.

Loved reading these! Thanks!
Very interesting!
Great but kept looking for the needlepoint in the photos :)
Yeah, me, too. Maybe someone can find photos. I didn't manage it.
