Welcome to my blog’s new home! I hope you all have had a smooth journey here and that you enjoy looking around the new format and content.
To celebrate, I’ve brought you some peonies from Paris! Now, it may sound wildly romantic to say that I went to Paris just to photograph the peonies but there is a bit of truth in that statement. When I was hired for an assignment in Europe, I scheduled a stay in Paris as close to peony season as possible. And happened to have lovely weather.
The always-beautiful Paris flower markets and shops were beyond bursting with peonies, roses, Lisianthus and more. This particular “shop” in Saint Germain was really little more than an open door to a closet-sized room overflowing with buckets of blooms that spilled out to cover every inch of the sidewalk outside – all exquisitely presented and arranged. Purchasing a huge bouquet for the apartment, I was granted free rein to photograph it all.
So, for you, armloads of pivoines. Just imagine the fragrance!
Thank you for being here, dear friends.

Congratulations on the new site Georgianna! It looks wonderful, completely you (so pretty!) – I’ve taken a quick peek around, but looking forward to exploring more … :D Love the rotating gallery under the header menu. Beautiful! xoxo
Congratulations G!! It looks Beautiful! I’m so excited for you!
Congrats!!! The place looks lovely–very fresh and clean looking. Love the header the best. :) I had a very easy time navigating too. :)
I love the header, I could watch the slideshow for hours:) So congratulation for new space looks good.
Thank you for the birthday wishes.
Today we have light 19h and 5 minutes, how great is that:) It should be always like today.

Ou I forgot to mention about wonderful peonie pictures. It is interesting that tulips and peonies are at the same time in Paris ( tulips are still on sale on the board in the last picture). Peonies are just starting to bloom here like next week.
Thank you Gerogianna for the fantastic pictures that you share with us, love it! Nice, nice, nice!
The new digs are wonderful. Love your flower pictures. For a bit my computer would not even let me comment, it smartened up though! I think I was stuck a bit on the slide show though, that might be it!!
Splendid, Georgianna! I just love what you’ve done with the place. lol! Seriously though, the new theme is very nice.
And the peonies are simply divine! All mine died in the rain right after they bloomed. Nice to see bushels of them in your photos!
Dearest sweet G, i love it here so much! So beautiful, inspiring and just cozy!! Thanks so much for these gorgeous flowers and now im closing my eyes and imagining the beautiful fragrance! Happy friday and love to you!
So splendidly beautiful! Thank you very much for the floral gift, they radiant the spirit and beauty of the season so elegantly.
The blog looks stunning – so elegant and timelessly gorgeous. Smitten over here :)

Your site looks wonderful and this post is just divine! We are heading over to Paris in December (I just posted about our last trip!) but sadly I won’t be seeing any of these gorgeous flowers. You were so lucky to have gone at such a stunning time of year!
Best wishes,

Hi I found your blog through Lisa Gordon and I have to say I really love your blog. I didn’t see your old one but I really this one. Your pictures are soooo pretty. :)
I would love to sign up for your newletter if that is ok.
I look forward to coming back to visit.
Dear Gerogianna ~ So happy for you and wish you well with your new site.
I love the peony blooms. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them for real, much less taken in their scent.
Have a wonderful day and a great week.

Dear Georgianna, Congratulations! Your new blog home looks wonderful. So glad that all went well. Looking forward to your always fabulous photos. ox, Gina
feels as if i’ve been dropped soft
onto a pillowy cloud of peonies:)
thanks for the delicious stir,
Jennifer
(your new digs are gorgeous
as are you)
Hi Georgianna, Wow, what a lovely new home for you. The download times now are so fast and clean, and I too like your Galleries page. Excellent work therein, especially the Floral and Garden one, haven’t looked at any others yet. Look forward to future visits and your blogposts. I subscribe via RSS feeds and the transition was seamless, so I don’t have to change that. Best to you,
Beautiful ‘pivoines’! And sooo many!!! I just can’t seem to find any here. I should just go to Paris I guess ;-)
Bye,
Marian
Love your new site!

The new website looks great Georgianna! :) I’ve been thinking of making the move myself but haven’t had the time to start doing anything about it yet.
Lovely peonies from France. Will more come? :) Hope you’ve had a great weekend. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead! xo
Georgianna the peonies are so pretty. How wonderful to be sent to Paris to take photos. I had one peony bush that was quite nice but the rose chafers just destroyed the blooms. Guess I will have to go to Paris to see peonies. Wonder if they have rose chafers. LOL Valerie
I’m going to LOVE it here G! It is gorgeous!
sending hugs…
Sorry Georgianna – please ignore my last comment. I actually saw that the site is live – my browser has cached the old blog.
Your new site is gorgeous! Breathtakingly beautiful images!
:)

Your new site is gorgeous, Georgianna! Congratulations, everything looks splendid! My son is in France right now. He flew in to Paris and then took a train to Provence where he will be all week at a Math conference. I’m looking forward to his photos too.
Thank you for bringing such beauty our way.
Blessings,
Sandi
Hi there, I’m a new fan of yours :) wow, those peonies are amazing, I’m so glad to have found you via Lisa Gordon over on facebook tonight :)
New format or not, your photos of course are amazing!
You know, I can just smell them and am giggling at the ants sliding down the vases once I drag them home.
