    Bonjour chère amie,

    Je suis heureuse de vous retrouver et d'admirer toutes ces magnifiques compositions.
    Vos conseils sont très judicieux...
    Une belle manière dans ce dernier billet de rendre hommage à cette espèce qui semblait n'avoir sa place que dans les cimetières. C'était fort dommage !

    Gros bisous ♡

    Chrysanthemums in all shapes and colors really carry a brilliant message that autumn has arrived.

    Thanks for the information and styling ideas. I might just have to bring some mums into my home this week. xo
