I love when the back of the book looks just as gorgeous as the front.

[@s.barlow7062]

From the Cotswolds to Colonial Williamsburg, love it all!

[@GailRomig-h5j]

So beautiful. Thank you Mary. For taking us along. With you❤

[@marjorykephart4700]

I enjoyed watching your channel. Although my mother was an American, she grew up in England. I never used the word yard. I prefer garden, because it sounds so much prettier. The English language is so rich with choices. I prefer using the most beautiful word. What I love about the English people is their love of their gardens and their history. Their sense of humor is the most sophisticated.

[@brendasanchez-ic2ld]

Another beautiful book with history, decor, gardens... I look forward to your channel. Thank you for sharing.

[@thetartantopiary]

Thank you for watching.

[@marybethbennett5787]

The handsome book is the next best thing to touring Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds all over again! Thank you!

[@thetartantopiary]

I'm jealous, I hope to do it in person within the next couple of years.

[@vintagewidow]

“Deep Purple”…. Haven’t thought of them for a lifetime! 😂. It seems your videos always bring back a good memory for me in addition to drinking in the beauty of the books and your home! Thank You again 😊

[@thetartantopiary]

Rock on 1972! I was shocked and pleased to hear it. I made my son show me how to play it. Thanks for watching!

[@tinafehr8394]

I just watched another KZbinr that spent his birthday in the Cotswold and now it’s on my to go list. What a beautiful place.

Nicolas Fairford by any chance? I love his channel!

[@tinafehr8394]

@@MizJilly yes! I do too. 😁

[@flowerpower3618]

Definitely do. One of the highlights of my life.

I love this vlog...but most of all I love your table settings!

[@nildasimon3455]

The Cotswolds is my favorite place in England. In Blenheim Palace, there is a beautiful portrait of Consuelo Vanderbilt as she was the wife of the 9th Duke of Marlborough. Thank you for sharing this book.

[@thetartantopiary]

It is on my list. I hope to visit soon.

[@maryschlotter108]

What a lovely book. I have never been to the Cotswolds but dream of going someday. Thank you for the walking tour of Williamsburg. It’s such a special place.

[@juliancoulden1753]

Thoroughly enjoy your channel. Just wanted to point out in England we call a yard, a garden which is a must nicer word! Yard suggests something a lot less pleasant ie a farm yard or builders yard! But not a garden!

[@thetartantopiary]

Thank you, that is something I appreciate. As a child, I remember using the word garden and my very stern aunt told me I was being "pretentious". I was eight and pretentious. 😁

[@juliancoulden1753]

@@thetartantopiary you were absolutely spot on! A garden is a garden! Even at 8!

[@2atthemill190]

To those of us living in the United States, where this video was produced, a garden is a plot where flowers or vegetables are grown. It is not an expanse of grass, trees, etc. attached to a home. One of the ways Americans (once colonists) showed their independence was to change spelling, pronunciation, and/or definition of British words. When in Rome...

[@juliancoulden1753]

@@2atthemill190 thank you. I understand. But wouldn’t it be preferable to call a place of beauty a garden with all its associations, rather than a yard!

[@t.s.5206]

@@juliancoulden1753 Absolutely right! In most cases, the British word for something is far better than the American.

[@melaniemorris7757]

Another wonderful review! Be still heart...the Cotswolds are stunning! Thank you!

[@thetartantopiary]

Yes, I knew only a little about this area. It's beauty is as rich as its history.

[@meridabowes3796]

Beautiful book and garden tour. Please go back to the governor's garden in the summer. Right now I can only imagine how beautiful it must be with flowers blooming and the hedges trimmed. Thank you for sharing this with us.🦠💐🌻🌺

[@thetartantopiary]

I will try. It would be breathtaking! Thanks for watching.

[@judithhatch6175]

I purchased this book a week ago and so enjoyed it. Thought it was interesting that two different homes had the pomagrante wallpaper, it is lovely. Thanks for the review

[@gloriamorgan76]

You do this so well Mary - well done😊

[@janicekeisler9225]

Thank you for showing us the beauty of the Cotswolds! My only experience there was in a tour bus out of London and of course, although impressive, this book reveals its charm and character so well. Loved your walk through the Governor’s Palace in Williamsburg; so many years since I visited there. You have stirred pleasant memories with this one!

[@tc7486]

One of the best channels on KZbin!

[@thetartantopiary]

Well, that is the nicest thing I've heard today! Thank you,

[@tamaracarter1836]

So beautiful, I absolutely adore the Cotswolds.

[@thetartantopiary]

I've never been, but when I see it featured in a movie or documentary it seems idyllic and lost in time. The beauty really is breath taking!

[@kaywallace6139]

Lovely

[@claudinedenys5237]

This is one of my favourite place in the world with Val d’Orcia in Tuscany. Just bought the book. I go every year there for one week since 1980. Always an enchantment. Thank you for your lovely reviews

[@thetartantopiary]

I'm going to look for the book. Thanks.

[@2atthemill190]

My younger son and his wife recently visited the Cotswolds and other areas of the British Isles. Your review elaborated their trip, giving a more in depth look at the architecture and interiors of this lovely area. Thank you.

[@andreamcgee455]

Thank you!

[@bevie4]

So, So glad I discovered your channel!! I am a lover of all books but especially Designers Coffee Table Books.. Thank you for a beautiful channel with superb commentary!

[@thetartantopiary]

Thank you for the lovely comment! I’m so glad you found the channel also.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I love English Country Homes and the decor used in them. A Georgian vicarage in the Cotswold would be just my cup of tea. Cottages can be poky and the grand homes are just too big, vicarages/rectories are often just the right size.

[@NorrisKnives]

My gosh. When we travel to England, this area is a must see! Enjoyed this video so much. Keep it up.

[@thetartantopiary]

Yes, I feel the same way!

[@mizzmolly7649]

Since watching your channel my monthly book budget has increased tremendously. I'm trying to figure out if there's a correlation. 😆 Another wonderful video. Now I'm planning the 3-hour drive to Williamsburg in the spring. I haven't been there since I was in middle school. 😊

[@thetartantopiary]

We had a 4 hour drive. it is worth it. We are fortunate to have this history and beauty preserved.

Love the English style. Please check Alison at home worthy for the Winter Armory Show. I used to go, it's the best. Bless. Thanks so much for the Real Winter Gardens. 40s and sunny up here today. Cleaning and sweeping. Cat beds in the dryer. Cheers from an old lady florista Yankee. 😘 Land of the Mohegans.

Speaker’s voice and unusual way of pronouncing words such as hill, “heel” takes away from the nice video.

Hello, how are you Linda?

Thanks for the feedback. It could be my accent.

[@Dina-md3ji]

Your accent is fine sometimes people gripe about the weather smalltalk is natural today

[@lisaoloughlin6476]

too much garden not enough of interiors

[@thetartantopiary]

I'll take that into consideration. I appreciate the opinion.
