    Oh, the sweet fragrance of the muguet! Mine won't blossom for another two or three weeks but it's fun to see them right here! The flower class sounds fun and it looks like a beautiful spot to enjoy it! Finally spring!

    I’ve put Cordelia’s book on my wish list. Looking forward to getting lost in it for a few hours, with a big pot of tea! Would love to take that flower arranging class. Hopefully next time I’m in Paris.

    Our lily of the valley are just popping up out of the ground. Can’t wait for their sweet scent. Love your Muguet Letter, and crazy about your Fleuristes de ParIs Map!
