Harrods was a shoppers paradise. London, in general, could fit that description. Thanks for watching.

Love the story of Harrods it’s awesome to see how these started and still going on. Loved the rest of the video as well. Thank you for sharing.

Hello Mary, I too loved this book!! I had the pleasure of touring this charming couple's home on (I believe) the "Homeworthy" channel! They are a delight and so interesting! Thank you for taking us along to England. I would bring back every bit of fine china that would fit in my suitcase!!! Have a wonderful week! Hugs! :)

Welcome back from London, Mary & thanks for letting us tag along!

Thank you! 💗

Mary your channel is refreshing. Your idea of reviewing books is absolutely brilliant. I enjoy it so much. I have learned so much about the various decorators, designers and their styles through these beautiful books you bring to us each week. Thank you for the little tour of Harrods and its History. You have a glorious home and as summer will soon open its doors to welcome us, I look forward to all that you have in store for us. 🌺 Have a lovely week.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind encouragement, you have a lovely week as well.

One of your best videos so far! Looks like you had a glorious adventure.

I bought this book when it was first published and have loved it ever since. In fact, when I first bought it, I only allowed myself to read one chapter a night, so the pleasure of delightful discovery could last as long as possible. i have gone back to it time and again even though I have owned it only a short time. Michael and Quinn have created a true treasure!

That is funny you do that. I have done the same thing, with both coffee table books and novels. Yes, this book is a treasure.

Thank you again Mary for a great book review but also for sharing your London trip! I felt like I was shopping with you! 😄 Wow, I hope to visit London! See you on the next video! Have a great week!

Conyac for frazzled nerves and a ride to the top of the moving staircase. What a hoot! Hahaha

Wonderful book review! I watched the Homeworthy video tour of their home which was incredible. Thank you for looking at the porcelain in Harrods (and the prices Yikes!) I’ve been to both Harrods and Fortnum and Mason and personally prefer the later. Over the years, F&M has, according to my British friends taken over. You’ll have to take another trip and make a similar video so your thousands of followers can opine. There’s something about “Just Looking” that is so fun, thank you for allowing us on your trip.

Such an interesting video again and beautifully presented by you Mary .

HI Mary ~~ I had to giggle them saying they are just amateurs.. more like over achieving ! I have been to Harrods it is amazing, and I kid you not I know it was Victoria Beckman that walked past me! I truly enjoyed the history you shared about Harrods too. Your pool area looks wonderful, and the topiaries love !! To early here yet for outdoor plants, however I will be looking for those ! have a joyful weekend ,, hugs Paula .. love your bracelets :)

Greetings to you Mary and thank you for the book review...it is a lot of pages for the money. Goodness Harrods is magnificent and would take me days to finish (not to mention, lost!). I appreciate you sharing your trip to London with all of us. You were missed ~ always look forward to your channel each week. Love their dress code/Harrods. Till next Friday.

This book was large and full of great photographs. The text was informative and cleverly written. I also appreciated Harrod's dress code. Shopping there was very pleasant.

So enjoyed this, it has been many years since I was in Harrod's. Look forward to the book next week !🌸🌺🌼

What a find that book is! Will definitely be purchasing this one! Just wish the purchase garnered an invite to one of their shindigs. Now I have to go back and see what you found at Harrods. See you next week!

I was shocked that they did not sell Herend China, but I did manage to find an Hermes throw blanket that I have been wanting for a while. That store is a consumers paradise. London really does have it all.

I loved both parts of this video. Amazing

Great book review again Mary. I’ve seen these guys on Homeworthy and have now ordered the book now (while watching your review). I’m going to need more bookcases in my home if I keep this up.

Thank you for introducing a very nice book.🌹

This was so interesting. Their book looks delicious. I had never heard these details about Harrods. We live in a fascinating world. As long as there is creativity and art, we will forever be elevated. Who now owns Harrods? And, I have wondered who currently owns Selfridges?

Love looking at Harrods what a beautiful department store amazing thank you Mary for taking me places that I would never get to go.

Welcome home, Mary and thank you for highlighting Classical Shindig! I became enamored with Michael and Quinn as I watched a tour of their home some time ago…Quinn loves to needlepoint and has his finished work displayed throughout their breathtaking home. I was not aware of their book and will be ordering it today!♥Especially pleased their recipes are included!🌟

I kept racking my brain on how I heard of these gentleman,I had seen them on Home worthy,excited to know about the book! You did a review on Spencer Churchill’s book last year also because I bought it ♥️ I can’t imagine living in a city that had a Harrods even though I can’t afford a lot (most) of the things,I so appreciate just seeing them , Did the Azaleas bloom early this spring,a friend was down there and said they were past peak,everything here is early this year but lasting longer because we have had some cooler weather for the last 10 days but next week the heat returns. Thanks Mary 🌿🍃

The azaleas did seem to peak a little early this year. We did have a few still in bloom for the festival. I think the heat came back today. I wore shorts for the first time and the ceiling fans are all running. Thanks for watching!

Don’t you just love these two? I stumbled on this book several months ago and have enjoyed it so much. Thank you for sharing it with your wide audience. And Harrods! I loved seeing it, and hearing all your historical tidbits - they make it even more interesting. The child in me never outgrew Pooh or Peter Rabbit! (So I studied your jewelry. Is the pink bracelet from London?!)

Very good- Yes, the design on my bracelet is a copy of the ironwork on the door of St. George’s Chapel at Windsor. This scrolled design was introduced by Henry III in 1247. I think it was my favorite purchase while in London.

Love walking g through Harrods with you. I was there in 1989. Like you new intro to what book is next.

Dulce- you're not going to believe this, but our original itinerary had 2 days in Paris. We changed it so we could spend all week in London (there was so much to see). Next year, God willing, we'll do Paris.
