Cordelia Coffee Flower Shop

On Tuesday I went to Cordelia Coffee Flower Shop.

On 14, rue du Bac 75004

There was a flower arranging class on 

By British 🌸 flower expert, Willow Crosseley…here running 🏃‍♀️ to catch Eurostar back to London…

Solli & Shannon (of famed chocolate 🍫 retreats)were taking the class, lucky ducks 🦆
May muguet/lilies of the valley were everywhere 

In everyone’s country bouquets

Along with tea & sympathy

And delicious cakes

Such a profusion of lush Spring flowers

Cordelia de Castellane’s beautiful gardening book, 

Life in a French Country House published by Rizzoli, NYC
Yesterday was the Fête de 1er de Mai, so muguet are everywhere this week. You should buy ahead evidently. I did know know 🤔

Even in porcelain 
Around the corner in this adorable shop from Cordelia’s
The cutest class attendee. Note Cigarette jeans are out. Country is IN 👍

Yesterday I practiced painting watercolor flowers 🌸More practice ahead 🙏
My muguet Paris letter is on Etsy waiting for you 🥰

    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!

    able to yet. I do appreciate your posts to fill me
    in until I get back. Becky

    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!
