Hi Mary! This book is a must have with beauty, warmness and elegance that I hope resurfaces in the younger generations. The authors inspired me as they are younger and appreciate the beauty of Schumacher as well as other designers. I fondly remember subscribing to House Beautiful in the late 70’s and throughout the 80 and 90’s. I would treat these issues as gifts and read and looked over every page many times and loved the articles by Dee Hardie in Thornhill. This book reminds me so much of those years. Your table setting is beautiful and the rose napkin is something I will try and share with my granddaughter. Thank you Mary as I look forward to your next review!
@thetartantopiary Жыл бұрын
Thank you- sharing things with your granddaughter is such a gift for you both. Grandmothers have an influence that mothers do not. I remember moments with my grandmother as dreamlike and treasure all her advice. I learned so much by just watching her. I was touched by the author's appreciation of her grandmother's style and hobbies. I agree with you, I hope attributes such as warm elegance and a love of tradition will not be lost.

Hi Mary. This is my favorite book review and overall video by you. I loved everything! First,the book captures my style completely. I am about the same age as you and I was collecting china at 16 and decorating my home with floral, chintz, ruffles and skirts when everyone else thought it was out of style. I never cared! To me, it made a house a home. Warm, inviting and comfortable. I could surround myself with beautiful things without my home feeling like a museum. I will definitely be purchasing this lovely book. Also, your table looked so beautiful. I enjoyed learning how to fold a napkin into a rose as well as the little chocolate favors. Such wonderful touches! Thank you, I look forward to more videos.

As usual a very good book review, reminds me of comfortable English country estate homes also a bit of williamsburg influence with the chintz and toilet. I'm sure your recipies from the low country cookbook are delicious, I spent quite a few years in South Carolina when my husband was in the air force and loved the old low country houses with the wrap around porches. I like the colored napkins better as they bring out the pink/terracotta tones in the floral table arrangement and the lovely shell plates. Once again I enjoyed your video very much. Have a blessed weekend.
