Really enjoyed this beautiful book and will continue to enjoy for years to come. I have been a big fan of Ms. Roehm's
for many years but sometimes found that she focused too many books on her love for flowers. This was a delightful
change of pace and, for me, answered a lot of questions about her earlier life. My only disappointment was that she
did not include more pictures of her home in Paris during the difficult years after her divorce as given the few I have seen it was a stunning residence. She is unquestionably multi talented in so many areas (clothing designer, gardening,
interior design, photographer, hostess and taste maker) all driven by her high energy to achieve the best and with the
eye of an accomplished artist. She is her own demanding task master but reading between the lines it sounds like she is now willing to take life a little slower since her health scare and hopefully "live in the moment". I hope that she will continue to entertain us all with the ongoing sharing of her interests and her own most beautiful photography. I think
part of her appeal has always been that while she is woman that "has it all" she has retained that basic Midwestern
sense of kindness, decency and values which makes many of her readers feel a connection to her as a person despite
the lavish lifestyle she is clearly able to afford. Given our shared love of dogs I would love to see a small book on
her pups in residence in her many home and a book on just on just how she celebrates Christmas. In the meantime,
I'm going to pick up Design & Style: A Constant Thread of the umpteenth time and enjoy it as much as I did the first
time I opened it. Thank you, Carolyne, for many hours of pleasure!
