Sandra Sigman learned all about beautiful flowers and greenery and the materials used to create arrangements in her twenties in Paris. She also learned how to clean and condition her materials. 

She creates and shares these florals with passion, movement, surprise and texture. The containers she uses create stunning these beauties. Who isn’t excited about this time of year and the bounty?

Natural materials, the desert, and plastered walls are all a small part of the Santa Fe style and architecture. The tin chandeliers, wooden beams, iron doors and gates are a part of the interiors. These are influences of the Hispanic and Native American homes. 

This book is filled with 288 pages of these beautiful homes and gardens, and I have chosen a few of my favorites. ENJOY!

I have no idea where to start when it comes to introducing and sharing the beautiful work of Nina Campbell, and the work produced. I have followed her work for quite some time, and I can tell you, without a doubt, she is one of the best and talented designers. 

Nina, at home in Britain, has designed and refurbished homes, in addition to creating Annabel's, a private club in London. Her entertaining skills are beyond perfection. Her taste is the best.

Below are some images that I would like to share with you.  ENJOY!

I do not believe anyone appreciates beautiful flowers and their arrangements more than I do.  The scent, the petals, the greenery, the color, the shape, and the the creation of a masterpiece is endless.

In this beautiful book, you will see numerous possibilities, just waiting for your extraordinary mind to go into play.

Below you will be able to see a few of the flowers I am referring to. ENJOY!
