Brimming with top style makers' and designers' innovative floral design ideas to enliven the home, Living Floral will resonate with those who appreciate the beauty and everyday luxury of flowers.
For this inspirational, yet instructive, book Shaw presents portraits of top tastemakers at home who share their joy of flowers. From interior designers Charlotte Moss, Suzanne Rheinstein, and Bunny Williams, and event designer Tara Guerard to floral and garden experts Sybil Sylvester and P. Allen Smith and culinary consultant Alex Hitz, these luminaries impart their personal botanical point of view. They show how to incorporate flowers in home decor and present numerous ways to entertain with flair. Interior designers illustrate how eclectic furnishings work well with floral and botanical accents in fabric, wallpaper, artwork, and accessories to shape chic indoor spaces. We will learn how traditionalists and modernists put together an attractive table; for example, by mixing heirloom silver with simple white china and bright flowers arranged in everyday glass containers. This gorgeously photographed book concludes with a primer on such topics as extending the life of fresh-cut flowers and assembling a table runner of charming blooms. Living Floral is a must-have for flower and interior design enthusiasts, as well as home gardeners.
Happy birthday Tartan Topiary! Mary, your channel is such a respite of beauty and goodness to us all. Thank you also to your helpers! The out-takes were so much fun. 💕💕💕💕
Thank you for that. I appreciate the encouragement and I'll let my "helpers" know you appreciate them as well. 😜
Hi Mary I just wanted to tell you how much I LOVE your show. It has become one of my most favored on my Utube.
You seem to be one of the nicest people and I for one would love to know you and have a friend just like you. You have the sweetest voice and you have such a calming way about you that it calms me right down when I hear the Tartan Topiary music playing.
I wish you all the blessings possible to you and your family, and much success. Johns wife 🥰
This video just made my day! Happy Birthday to Tartan Topiary. I have watched most of your videos and you never disappoint. It is truly a pleasure to watch and listen to them. Loved the out-takes! Your husband is hilarious. Thank you for what you are doing!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and I truly appreciate you taking the time to comment. My husband is pretty funny, but he REALLY thinks he's funny!
Mary happy first anniversary to your wonderful channel. I’ve loved every video. The outtakes were hilarious! I cracked up when you said you’re gonna over dub the whole marriage! 🤣😂 And yes that shelf of chicks was bizarre! It was great meeting your hubs and seeing real life behind the scenes. Y’all are too cute! ❤️
Thank you for watching and I always appreciate your comments. As far as over dubbing the whole marriage; when I find out how, I'll let you know! 😁
Happy Birthday 🎂 Tartan Topiary 🤗You have given so many of us such wonderful and beautiful inspiration throughout the year. Looking forward to many more, No pressure 😂. In this world filled with anger and sadness, you certainly have found a way of creating a shelter from that by having us travel on the journey of books to get lost in and perhaps add a few to our own collections. Thank you ❤
I appreciate this thoughtful comment and I love books for this very reason. Especially design books, as they provide a beautiful, inspirational and calming respite that you can revisit again and again!
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing.
Happy birthday Tartan Topiary, I really enjoy all of your post but today was extra. Thank you so much for sharing your family and pets with us!😍😍
Thank you for watching- I couldn't do it without you!
Bravo! 1 year.🎉 Your relaxing voice and beautiful visuals are a must. Love your channel.
I appreciate this- thank you!
Congratulations Mary on your first anniversary, wishing you many more. I have been a faithful subscriber and viewer from the beginning, when I need a dose of relaxation and inspiration I view one of your videos. I had a lot of books before your channel but now my collection has grown😉Keep entertaining us and I always wish you the best.
I love this! I appreciate your support and thanks so much for watching!
Happiest of birthdays, Mary, to your lovely channel! I look forward to each new video, all of which inspire me through both the books and your beautiful home. We share several loves, namely Herend animals (which I've collected for over thirty years), Williamsburg, and Chinoiserie decor. I love seeing how you use your collections ♥️. Your videos are beautifully filmed, and two of my favorite things about them are your calming voice and the music you select to use. An added bonus is seeing your beautiful jewelry, clearly another shared love 😊. I look forward to many more years of The Tartan Topiary. Thanks so much for all your hard work to share with us your stylish creativity.
You are very thoughtful and I appreciate that you enjoy the channel. We do seem to have many things in common. You have me by several years on the Herend figurines. My grandmother gave me a few, but I started with my own about 1995. I bet your collection is substantial! Thanks for the comment and the support.
That was FUN! Thanks for making me laugh with the behind the scenes outtakes & bloopers! Huge Congratulations on your 1st Year! Your channel is a delight that I look forward to each and every week! Cheers!
Thank you- that really makes me happy. I appreciate that you watch and I enjoy your comments. ❤️
Congratulations-enjoy your example of respecting the past designers and influence whilst living so well in the moment
Oh Mary, congratulations on your one year anniversary 🤗👏🤗, I ❤️ all your videos, however this one is the best one yet😂 😅🤣, it is always nice to see the realistic side of life, 😉 family and pets are the joy of life, 💕 and 🙏 for continued blessings, Evon, Wilson, NC
Evon- thank you for your sweet comment. I'll be making a trip to Wilson soon for Barbeque and antiques. 😁
I love the way you show the book pages at the end and how you caress the back, almost like you hate for it to be the end.thank you,dear, you are a joy
"Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?" Thank you for sharing your gardens, your home, your family, your life--and your joie de vivre with all the world...to inspire us, to inform us, to entertain us! Happy Birthday, Tartan Topiary! And may there be many, many more!
Happy Birthday Tartan Topiary and congratulations to you Mary. Life is beautiful and wonderfully imperfectly perfect, isn't it! Thank you for taking us along on the journey 🙏🏾.
Wow- that is a great way to look at it..."imperfectly perfect". Thank you!
I’ve shared so many of your videos. Love them. My collection is growing because of you. Thank you for all the book overviews. We appreciate you.
Thank you for that! I appreciate you too, seriously, I couldn't do it without thoughtful viewers like you.
Ms Mary….I just can’t thank you enough for sharing all of these books with us with your sweet precious voice….hugs carolyn from Columbus Georgia…..omg…..I just watched this video….I am glad to know that I am not the only one married to a slightly grumpy mouthy husband…..JUST LOVED IT….why do they ALWAYS WANT SOMETHING TO EAT WHEN WE ARE BUSY????????!?!!!!!!!!????
Happy happy birthday! Your channel is such a happy part of my week. Thank you for creating it. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your reviews every week.
Your comment makes me happy- thank you!
“overdub the whole marriage” had me laughing! If you could market that you’d make a fortune! The hubby overdubby! I want in!
YES- how do we bottle that. Your product name is perfect. The Hubby Overdubby! Now that would make $$$. 😜
Happy Birthday to the channel and to a job well done. You know I always look forward to your post and enjoy majority of the books. I have added books to my shelves simply from your reviews. Keep up the great work and here’s to another year. 🍾🥂 this one was fun. Love the behind the scenes.
Thank you! I am so glad you have enjoyed the channel and I appreciate the words of support!
Your videos are always beautifully put together. Who knew that you would have the funniest bloopers ever.
Thank you- it's all about the edit.
I love your channel. The outtakes in this episode are the best! You should occasionally include them; just a few every so often so we keep wanting more. I HOLLERED when you said "I should overdub the whole marriage".
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARTAN TOPIARY!
I look forward to every elegant and relaxing video you present. The playful banter between you and your husband was fun. Enjoyed seeing your lovely family and adorable pets. Thank you so much for inspiring us all with grace and beauty.
I very much appreciate your well wishes and thank you for all of your comments in the past. ❤️
I'm late to the birthday party, hopefully will still be considered fashionably late. Happy birthday to one of my favorite channels. This is one video that somehow got missed. YT does that to me sometimes. I must have started watching since the beginning. My first one that I recall seeing your beautiful torti kitty had passed away. I saw her pic toward the end of your video. I commented that I had very similar torti, Prissy, that had passed away, too. I still miss her. Most of my kitties are or have been tortis or tabby. My favorite tabby was a quite large ginger tabby. He just passed away last fall. Miss him terribly.
I love seeing the outtakes & Michael is such a joy to see! I love your your responses to some of his silly comments. I imagine there is never a dull moment in your home with him, your son & kitties! So thankful for you sharing the lovely books, occasionally your beautiful home, your visits to gardens, antique shopping, etc. All topics I adore! Here's to many more! 🎉🥂😊
Best wishes on your 1st 🥳 Birthday. That’s what birthdays are about the journey & the memories with those we love & care for. Celebrate 🎉 I’m gonna go buy some pretty flowers! Lovely book thanks Mary & Family.
I didn't need a scientific study by Rutgers University to tell me that flowers make me happy. Yes, go buy some flowers, it's good for your mental health! 💐😁
Congratulations Mary on your one year Anniversary! Every thing you present to us is pure ‘Joy’. I look forward to your videos and find happiness and calm. The tone of your voice is comforting and it draws us into a world of bliss!
Thank you for this special gift you share with all of us!
Cheers to many more wonderful Anniversaries 🥂🎉💗🌸
My favorite 🥰
Happy Birthday, The Tartan Topiary!!! 🥳 As a loyal subscriber, I look forward to every book review with bated breath! Your style, soothing and relaxing voice, and wonderful selection of interior design, floral and gardening books are a weekly treat for me! So, Mary I look forward to many, many more years with you and your crew! 🥂🍾
Thank you- I appreciate your thoughtful comment and I'm grateful to have your support!
I so enjoy your channel! Not only the book reviews, but the second part also. We have so much the same taste and actually so many decor items that are exactly the same. I have bought many of the books you have recommended and have loved adding them to my collection. Happy birthday and thanks for giving me this sublime treasure every week!
What a kind and encouraging comment. I couldn't do it without this type of support. I really do appreciate it!
Happy birthday! I’ve enjoyed following along this first year. I anticipate each video and enjoyed your “ outtakes” included as a birthday treat!
I'm so glad you are following along. I couldn't do it without you. 💗
Congratulations on your one year anniversary of the Tartan Topiary! I love this channel!
Thank you for sharing your books and visits! I always look forward to your new book review! & rewatch your previous videos when I need to escape.😊
By the way, the book review on the flower book is gorgeous! The mix of decorating and floral design is just ideal! I took a two week course on floral design as a gift and vacation to myself. Now, I gift beautiful floral arrangements to people I love with confidence...plus selecting the flowers, making the arrangement, and gifting it brings me such joy! 🤗
That was such a nice thing to do for yourself. I took a weekend course on floral design. Those arrangements are not as simple as one might think. I'm still working on my skills. My daughter has a floral shop and she lets me help once in a while. 😜
I want to thank you for watching the channel and always supporting it!
Oh my, just took in the out takes - hilarious made my day thanks.
Just loved this video and your station as I love books. The bloopers at the end were so funny just loved those as well. Thanks for sharing the true side of life ❤
Happy First Anniversary and sure hope that you will have many more. I just love your relaxing videos and this one is really special. You have a lovely family and I loved the behind the scenes. Warm regards from Marlin, PA.
Thank you- I am glad you enjoy the videos. My husband has relatives in Reading, PA. We actually drove through Marlin. Have you ever been to the Reading Pagoda?
@@thetartantopiary Yes we have been to the Reading Pagoda, very nice and what a view. Small world isn't it?
Happy Birthday Tartan Topiary! Thanks Mary and crew for bringing us such beauty to enjoy.
I loved the bloopers. Especially the part when you said: "I'm going to over dub the marriage." That brought water to my eyes, but in a good way.😄😅😄😅🐆😎
Happy birthday Tartan Topiary. I’m always so pleased when I see you have a new video. Looking forward to the next year. ❤
Thank you so much. This makes me very happy!
Happy Birthday! This video just shows you are a real family in real life! 😊
The very first book I saw in your channel after having discovered it - I straight a way ordered! (The collected cottage). It's a very lovely presentation you give and your voice is very agreable, thank you!
Thank you! The Collected Cottage is a great book.
Congratulations Tartan Topiary ! Wonderful reviews ! I end most of the times buying your lovely and good recommended books ! Thank you so much !❤️❤️
Mary...I love your channel and you. Thank you for sharing some of your personal life with us,. Look forward every week to the Tartan Topiary. You are such a lovely Southern woman . Kathy from Boston
Thank you, Kathy. I'm so glad you are enjoying the channel. Your kind comment means a lot to me.
Love the gracious calming nature of your usual content, which provides so much inspiration. These outtakes were a fun real-life spin and had me laughing out loud. Thanks for sharing!😀
I've just found your channel, and immediately falling in love with the concept! Coffee table books, especially about flowers/garden/design are not so much discussed in social media, so your channel helps me to discover more beautiful books. Thank you! and thank you for the bloopers too, they're really fun to watch. Thumbs up to all distractions 😄💐
Happy birthday TT! I'm a bit surprised you've only been w us for 1 year! Oh how I enjoy every book and video you present us!! Please never stop. I, too, adore books on design and would love to have a library like yours! Your gift to us in this hilarious outtakes reel is wonderful! What a joy your channel is to so many.
That is a very sweet comment and I thank you for taking the time to let me know you enjoy the channel!
Oh Mary how beautiful thank you for sharing those beautiful clip moments you and your husband. It’s just wonderful for her so single girls that don’t have a husband anymore. It’s beautiful I know it’s hard darling keep your chin up you have a beautiful family and thank you for forming this channel. It gives me such pleasure. Thank you.
Happy birthday Tartan Topiary! Thanks for the fun video. Looks like you have a great family supporting you. Looking forward to your next year.
Thank you and I do have a supporting family- they are little kooky sometimes, but I'll keep them! 😁
Happy Birthday Tartan Topiary...Mary this video made my day, simply loved seeing that "life" happens even when you want to show a beautiful day in your videos..... Looking forward to several more of your wonderful videos...Have a blessed day......
Thank you- life does happen. I've learned to appreciate the "editing process". During one of the garden tours, a bird pooped on me. I couldn't find that snippet, but it was a lot of fun. 🐦 😮
Happy Birthday!! Thank you for lovely book reviews and the additional topics you share. I look forward to your show every week.
I'm so glad and thanks for letting me know! ❤️
Lol ! Congratulations Mary ♥️‼️ lovely , family is everything that provides us with the little imperfections of what the perfection and love we adore to have in our life’s , moments of laughter is a gift . Bless them and you sweet Lady .
Thanks for the kind encouragement and the wise words!
Heureuse de vous avoir vue dans votre vie de famille qui est simple et et remplie de vie à bientôt ❤❤❤❤
A beautiful book and wonderful photography, definitely one that deserves a place on the coffee table.
Congratulations on your one year, I really enjoy your book reviews and crafting, cooking or a walk around your garden.
Thank you, I appreciate having you join me during those walks and those moments in the kitchen or at the table!
Well wishes for one year to a deserving lady! Video was enchanting and perfect timing for the summer ~ Some amazing things happen "behind the scenes" thanks for sharing. 😍🤩
Thank you for watching! Yes, sometimes behind the scenes can be as entertaining to watch, if not more.
Happy Birthday TT🎉 👏👏One year is just the beginning of many more to come . Thanks for all the time you put into your videos they are so enjoyable.

Thank you for that. I would not be on UA-cam without support like yours, and I appreciate it.
Oh I just loved this! Thank you for a much needed smile!
13:37 😂😂😂😂Love it! Thanks for starting your channel, it’s been such a joy to follow along. Happy Birthday!
I appreciate that, and I'm so glad to have you follow along!
Love the episode, you put a smile on my face and gave me a needed laugh. "Whether I want him to or not." ,
Yes- sometimes I do need him, but don't tell him I said that! Thanks for watching.
Beautiful beautiful everything you present. Oh how the world truly needs such inspiration of home, family and true love. Thank you
What a kind statement. Thank you!
I look forward to your videos. Thank you and Happy Birthday!🌺🌼🌷🌸
Thank you for that and thank you for being a supporter from the beginning.
Congratulations on your anniversary 👏 I get Flower magazine so I NEED this book 🤣. The out takes are hysterical,I have one of those things called a Husband too .Oh my ,I remember hearing a speech one time and someone asked if she had ever thought about Divorce,she took a pause and said No,but I have considered Murder 🤣🤣🤣. This has made my day ,LIFE AIN’T PERFECT 🌹🌿. But I am keeping Him
You are funny, thank you for that. I bought my first copy of Flower Magazine last year and have gotten several since then. I can't imagine what went into creating this periodical. I realize Margot had a team of people, but what an accomplishment.
I loved that you showed the bloopers and your hubby is so great to help you. I love the reality you showed. Happy one year…
Thank you so much!
Mary love your soothing voice. Your channel is a treat for me. Happy Birthday 🎉
I'm so glad! Thanks for the encouragement.
Mary, I love your channel and so happy to know you are just like us. Happy Birthday to The Tartan Topiary. Looking forward to spending many more with you. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Happy Birthday Tartan Topiary! Congratulations! We all enjoy your generous sharing of books we love. So much beautiful inspiration! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
"FLOWER" is one of my "very favorite" magazines & "Tartan Topiary" is "right at the top " too!! Here's to MANY MORE!! franki
I am so impressed with the story of how Margot Shaw began Flower Magazine. I appreciate your kind comment!
You are fortunate to have such wonderful characters in your life…gave me a nice chuckle this morning. Happy birthday!
Yes I am and thank you for the reminder. They do keep me laughing. Thanks for watching!
Mary congratulations to you & your team on the 1st anniversary of this lovely channel. You have & beautiful home & family! Your videos are so relaxing & inspiring. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to look inside those beautiful books that bring us so
much pleasure & creativity. ❤
You are so welcome and thank you for watching and offering such a kind comment.
Wishing you many more years to celebrate , God bless you .
Happy anniversary and thanks for keeping it real!! I love the books and I love your segments as much or more.
Loved this video!!!Thank you.
Loved this!
Happy Birthday! I love your videos and look forward to each and every one. I have purchased so many books because of you. Not sure that’s a good thing? 😉 Your “behind the scenes” made me laugh out loud. Thank you for all your hard work. I so enjoy it!! ❤
Thanks for watching. I'm so happy that you enjoy the book reviews. Your comment means a lot to me.
Happy Anniversary! Love the outtakes! 🎉🤣
How fun! I enjoyed the book review, I have this one too, so beautiful. But I really enjoyed the outtakes. You and your hubby make for a good comedy team. I laughed out loud when he said alligator! I remember living in Louisiana; we lived on a bayou that had alligators in it. I never wanted to meet on in the yard though! I can totally relate to the challenges of "loving" pets, who always want to be with you. I'm always cleaning up their messes, but having them around is so worth it. Loved it all! You are truly a blessed woman. Thank you for all you share with us and happy anniversary!!
Thank you for your fun comments. There really was an alligator at the garden we were walking through (which is in my video this week) and I was truly nervous. As for my pets at home...at least they won't eat me!
Congratulations Mary, I feel as if we are old friends. I look forward to each video and enjoy your comments, thank you for all you do while making it look effortless. God bless your helpful husband!
How thoughtful! I truly appreciate this and we are definitely friends.
Happy Birthday Tartan Topiary ❤❤❤❤

I'm laughing out loud Mary! That was the best behind the scenes video. Congratulations on your anniversary. Looking forward to year two ❤
I am so glad you enjoyed it and I always appreciate your comments!
I remember when your channel began. I thought it was an interesting concept of a channel. And I loved it because I’m a southern girl as well, Georgia ga 🍑
I also thought it was done elegantly
Thanks for the Southern support. I need y'all. I have gotten some funny comments (and some that were actually hurtful) about my accent. I should let my husband narrate a video. Heads would explode.😁
@@thetartantopiary He seems like a riot, let him narrate an episode 😂
I’m supporting you girl!
Happy Birthday Tartan Topiary. I have enjoyed every episode. I would never have guessed all these funny outtakes going on behind the scenes. Fun to meet your family. Thanks for sharing all these wonderful books and the additional personal footage. Keep going. You have a wonderful folllowing.
I really appreciate that. I will agree with you- the people that enjoy my content are a wonderful group of people. I am very fortunate.
Happy 1st Birthday 🎉❗️I have enjoyed every video and you have more surly kept a smile on my face. Thanks for allowing us to walk in your world that is colorful and warm. You've done a fantastic job of keeping me coming back for more. I look forward to the next year of exciting videos.
That is such a thoughtful comment and I appreciate it!
Dear Mary! Thank you very much for sharing your very private moments! I really love your channel! Good luck and all the best for you and your family! 😘☀️🌹
Thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoy the channel!
Very droll and cute Thanks!

I know you do and I very much appreciate it. You have been an early supporter of the channel. THANK YOU!
Happy Birthday Tartan Topiary !! ,
to you Mary and your crew a job very well done. Your style is contagious. Always looking forward to your videos and your selection of books. Never owned a cat, somehow we had dogs, nevertheless, Roscoe is adorable.
Thank you. I have had dogs, chickens, fish, hermit crabs, rabbits and cats. I have loved them all. Life is just better with critters. I knew I was in trouble when my son's hermit crab, which was 3 years old, died and I cried like a baby. Roscoe is adorable and a stinker at the same time.
Happy Birthday Tartan Topiary!! I love you and watch you every week. ❤🌹🎂
I am so glad and I appreciate your support!
Hello Mary and Congratulations!!! I have been with you from the very beginning and look forward every week to the next video!! So happy for you and a big THANK YOU for loving Traditional decor!
