French Country Cottage in Bloom

Courtney Allison conveys the romance of French country living in gorgeous floral arrangements--gathered in a unique vessel, unfurled over a mantel, or spread the length of a table.

"Flowers and floral-filled everything make me happy. So, I indulge in flowers and believe a bouquet of fresh flowers belongs in every room--even if it is just a tiny one." --Courtney Allison
