Thanks- the first time I made these flowers I was shocked at how authentic they looked.

Mary, the peonies are gorgeous! What a great idea to put them in a diffuser! I enjoyed making peony bouquets for my mom and daughter in the past. I tried dipping the inner filter middles in diluted pink food coloring, graduating the color, then drying. It was a lot of extra time but was pleased with the outcome. Thank you for all your inspiring crafts you present in your videos!🌺

I’ve planted Hydrangeas in every house we’ve owned, this is our 7th ( buy old houses to fix up and resale). This summer we are supposed to move to our “Retirement” House. A little 2bdr Victorian Cottage on the most historic beautiful brick street. (our renter is leaving). Long way of saying….My husband had made me Promise No Hydrangeas. 😞. He said they are “Water Gluttons”. 😂. I’ll try, but not sure I’ll stick to that promise. 🤭

Mary, Thank you from Maine. I wish I could send you a bouquet of my peonies. I have been growing them for 40 years here. Over those years the bloom time has moved up from the last week in June to the second week in June. They love our cold winters to hibernate and our sandy soil. I lived by the sea for 32 years and had hundreds of blossoms. I donated them for 6 years to a fashion show I chaired each June. I have since moved from that home about 5 miles from the sea. I started all over 12 years ago and have hundreds again. It is a labor of love for my husband who cares for these beautiful plants so that we can enjoy them and share with my friends here. They bring such joy to everyone. And I believe they are a favorite to so many as well. Thank you again.

You must have a magic touch and I'm jealous! I've seen some peony bushes grow as tall as the side of a house. That always amazes me. The climate in Wilmington is okay for rhododendrons but not peonies. There is just something happy about a peony!

Mary so very beautiful peonies. They look real !! Will give it a try. Liked this book a lot. Great review. Especially liked her using lilac/lavender/pink together. Pillows are very pretty as well as everything else. Your chair's in aquamarine upholstery are stunning. Thanks for sharing.

I thought the flowers looked real as well. The chairs are a cream Fortuny fabric and I'm so nervous about preserving them that I drape an aquamarine blanket down the center of them making it look like upholstery. This way I don't get nervous if my cat decides to nap there.

That was a wonderful video, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don’t have the deep pockets of Miss Campbells clients but antique finds here and there at amazing shops have yielded the desired effects over the years. Imagination and good fabrics always work wonders. Thank you Mary.

Nina Campbell has been my favorite designer for a long time. Thank you so much! Don't get me started on the long list of why that's so! I also have fun looking back into the Colefax and Fowler history and design evolution. Inspirational Interiors by Rober Banks-Pye is also a favorite. All I need to do is leaf through their books, or a KZread video, and within 20 minutes I've gotten an inspiration and start rearranging a room, vignette, or making notes for how to freshen my next room project.

I read an article in which Nina Campbell describes her first interview, as a young designer, with John Fowler. He asked her what she was learning at Design School. She answered him like an honest, 19-year-old and said, “not anything…I haven’t learned anything”. To which John Fowler laughed and said, “well good, I want you to quit, and I’ll teach you everything you need to know.” That’s one of the coolest stories I’ve read lately!

So creative. Love the book and it’s ideas as well.

Isn't it difficult to acclimate your gardening preferences from one zone to another. I could grow wonderful peonies in Raleigh, NC and that's just 130 miles from Wilmington, NC. When I lived on the water (the ocean was our front yard) that was tough. The salt air and aphids were murder on my little garden. Take care 💗

If you put a big bucket of ice in your peonies in the winter, they will bloom. I grew them in California!
