Hello everyone! I have to say I’m still bowled over by your response and heartfelt words to the giveaway and our new shop. You are each such kind and generous and playful spirits that I had to stop for a few minutes in rereading your comments today for a moment of gratitude that, however and why ever, we’ve connected and you’ve welcomed my world into yours. I absolutely did not, when I began this blog over four years ago, envision that.
Closer to home than recent posts – our David Austin roses and hydrangeas, photographed yesterday in our garden. Graham Thomas has decided to become a tree and is reaching his golden bouquets nearly up to our second floor office window.
As for the giveaway, we do have four winners that I’ll announce in just a moment. But first, as you know, I most enjoy games where everyone wins so to thank everyone for participating, here is a new download for you of a sweet postcard that I purchased at the Port de Vanves flea market in Paris. It is such a charming piece – I can’t help wondering about Mademoiselle Genevieve and how she spent her holidays back in 1934.
And now, the winners!
Kate I of Inspired in British Columbia
Miss Giny of Au Pays des Merveilles in Paris
Caro of Sodapop Design in Germany
and Jen of Frau Zinnie in Connecticut
Congratulations! Caro and Jen both chose Roue de Paris as their free print from the new shop. I’m delighted as it’s one of David’s images. Giny chose La Vie Est Belle and Kate chose The Blue Door.
I’m kind of chuffed, too, that Miss Giny, who is a photographer who LIVES in PARIS, mind you, likes my Paris calendar. :)
Hope you all have a happy weekend and thank you again for playing along. We should do it again, yes?

Your house and garden need to be in House Beautiful or something like that one of these days! (or maybe it's been and I've missed it). Hope you enjoy the last days of summer this weekend. xo L

Thank you so much Georgianna!! I'm completely over the moon about winning the Monet's Garden calandar and the Blue Door Print…I simply cannot tell you how happy this makes me.

I cannot believe that you have such gorgeous roses in your garden, love the yellow one. Beautiful photos and as always – very feminine and romantic, love that. And huge congrats to the winners :) Have a lovely week ahead Georgianna ♥
LindyLouMac in Italy says
Georgianna you deserve every single word of praise that you receive. I have always found old postcards and their messages absolutely fascinating.
Theresa says
Congrats to the winners! Stunning roses! Thanks for the share too! Happy week ahead to you~ xo
kat says
Just love how this yellow blend with the peach and soft blue, a fresh colour palette I haven't seen you use before G, but still very much recognisable as your style.
How blessed you are to have the David Austen roses blooming so well. Sadly the very wet summer knocked ours and we only had a half a dozen blooms all season.

Hogh-Art @ Inspiration from Nature says
Hello Georgiana,
I must say I am enchanted to visit your blog and your beautiful photos.
I am a french artist and I lived near the Porte de Vanves in my youth, until I was 25 years. I know very well the flea market where I went with my parents every weekend. At first the flea market was small but now it is large and the atmosphere is not at all the same as it was in my youth.
