Flowers From the Heart

We Heart Roses

Happy Summer!  With two trips to up to Maine and back this week, we’re looking forward to a quiet weekend moving our belongings back into our house (yes, our construction project is finally DONE!)  And hopefully, if the weather cooperates, you’ll find us outside escaping paint and varnish fumes enjoying a garden full of blooms…

Poised and Pretty

Have you discovered Styling yet?  It’s an Australian online magazine created by the amazingly talented Coty Farquhar featuring homes, fashion and artists from around the world.  We were thrilled to see My French Country Home‘s Sharon Santoni as a contributor and photographer in this month’s issue and can only dream to have a back yard like the one she profiles in its pages.  Then again, we don’t live in a chateau in Normandy!

Upton Manor

Delightful Downton Abbey

Are you as obsessed with Downton Abbey as we are?  We can’t get enough of the show and with two weddings (well one, technically!) and a number of parties so far this season, we’ve been enchanted by all the fun flapper fashion and the freer, more fanciful flowers.  So much so that this 1920’s style might influence our next fall collection…  perhaps we’ll call it Upton Manor!

Fresh and Fruity

Pretty Pinks and Purples

Our mother is no stranger to English floral design since she studied in London with Lady Pulbrook and has always admired the incomparable Constance Spry.  Perhaps we’ll add a more modern twist to our designs and be inspired by some our favorite (Brooklyn-based!) florists like Nicolette Owens and Amy Merrick.

Lovely Leaves

We just love the whimsical elegance and the lush colors and textures of these bouquets and can’t wait to get started!

Buds and Berries

Winter Wonders

P.S.  If you’re a fan of Downton Abbey’s flowers, let us know what you’d like to see in our fall/winter collection.  And if you’re a fan of our flowers, you can get them at a discount for the next two weeks by using coupon code TYVM2013 in your shopping cart after 12 p.m. today!

At Home in Normandy

No, we haven’t decided to move back to France, though we’re constantly toying with the idea, especially after discovering My French Country Home.

Just Down the Road

Nestled in the verdant Normandy countryside, Sharon’s home is beyond beautiful and besides writing an enchanting and informative blog (we loved her post on French men given that one of us is married to one!)

Ravishing Roses

she sells wonderful home accessories through her brocante

Blue and White Delights

and keeps a guest cottage where she hosts family and friends.

A Country Cottage
