I can’t remember how I became Frances Schultz’s online friend, because the process was so effortless it seemed we had always been sassing one another.
And I can’t recall why it seemed like a good idea to have drinks with Frances and her husband when they were in New York — I don’t drink, and without reading much about Tom Dittmer, I had a feeling he has the kind of political views that drive me nuts, and probably vice versa.
But I can’t forget that evening, because within five minutes Frances, Tom and I were telling whoppers, gossiping irresponsibly and just generally acting like the old friends we already seemed to be.
When I left, promising to read her book, I thought: Is it possible to adore her book more than I adore Frances?
“The Bee Cottage Story: How I Made a Muddle of Things and Decorated My Way Back to Happiness” answers the question — the book is the woman, the woman is the book.
Frances Schultz has described her East Hampton hideaway as “a little stucco cottage with pretty blue shutters and a big heart.” Works for a description of her as well. Shutters don’t obscure anything; they simply frame a window. And as for the heart…
Here is Frances, on page 1, buying this run-down cottage as “the perfect place to begin my second marriage.” Which didn’t happen. Nice guy, bad fit. And there she was, in “a spot that illuminates the space between where we are and where we thought we’d be… in a sea of fear, self-loathing and self-doubt.” Well, if she couldn’t fix herself, she’d fix the house. It wasn’t much of a goal — “a point of light in a big dark room, but it was something.”
Why a house? “Start where you are, begin with what you know.” Well, she knew about houses.
