  2. And the master of the contrasting and brilliant colour combinations too!
    As I type, I can hear my teenage children speaking to each other in French, telling each other how to cook dinner, as they practice year 12 and university French.
    So your pages are music to my ears!

  5. This is a stunning juxtaposition of old world charm layered with the simplicity of a singular choice of bloom. The glass table and clear vases only serve to highlight the beauty of the two elements.

  10. So beautiful. Whenever I'm in Paris, I make a point of stopping at the George V to see Jeff Leatham's amazing creations -- they are beyond florals, they are art and architecture!

  11. That does it .. . your gorgeous pic has inspired me to change my plan for the summer pink geranium pots on my terrace. Solid masses only - no more mixing the baby's breath around the base !

    Now, if it would only warm up enough for me to put the pots out . . . . .

  14. Oh my, how beautiful.
    Such a great use of transparent vases so as to not obstruct the view of such a gorgeous tapestry in the background.
