What is always a surprise is to open an email and have a bright, joyous riot of color unfurl across your desk, a banner of cheer and good will. I think she ought to start a subscription service, where for a modest sum (proceeds of which go to buying flowers), you can sign up to get a monthly photograph of one her idiosyncratic bouquets. You should see the dahlias she grows. I will have to pull together a little photo album of my favorite e-bouquets so far, but in the meantime, have a look at these. And consider how you, too, can send a bit of brightness through the virtual mail.

Dominique,
What a pleasure to find your delightful blog. My friend Tamara Matthews-Stephenson at Nest mentioned you & I knew I was in for a inspiring visit. I also love all the goodness that comes from Frances Palmer's studio & garden. Have you seen the size of her dahlias!
Dominique, I look forward to reading Slow Love Life and visiting with you again soon.
Regards,
Lisa
I do love that pot! Does she sell them? Michelle
Enjoyed reading your writings. I read lots of books with all the time available when not working.
Dear Dominique,
I love your blog and your writing defines all of the emotions that I experienced during a painful divorce, raising two children and relishing the peace and gratification I feel by fixing up my house. My house is almost an animate object. Something I struggle with since my children have left.
Please tell your friend Frances that her pottery has brought a renewed spirit inside my home. It has led me to cooking more and having people over.
I love the hand made pieces-they are more then I want to spend. I cannot think of a more lovely piece then the handmade heart.
Carry on, ESH
Oh, I adore Frances' pottery. I salivate every time I see one of her pieces, and am so glad you featured her here. And the idea of cut flowers is making my longing for spring even more intense--I guess it really IS time to go start prepping the garden! Most of all--love that you've started this blog, and can't wait to read the book. I am a longtime fan who practically cried at the end of HG, and it's so wonderful to read you again!
Dear Dominique,
So good to read your article in last weeks'Times. I always read your editorial first in each month's House and Garden. Good luck with your new book.
Sincerely, a long time fan: ,Jean Montgomery
I've gotten some emails like the question above, about buying Frances Palmer's pots. She sells her handmade work--each one unique, of course--as well as her production line. Go to her website at francespalmerpottery.com to shop, and contact her. Treat yourself. Her pieces will be treasured for generations. d
Hi Dominique--I met you at one of Jacqueline's dinners, and then saw you on CNN Sunday morning. I was so affected by that interview, by your story. I had a similar career trauma about two years ago, and have had to reinvent and rebuild. I just wanted to say bravo for your honesty, and I am ordering a copy of the book, which I'm sure I will enjoy.
all best--Leigh Haber
i've always loved dahlias for their color - but this totally works!
