Flowers really do bring life into a home. I love that you are using all the wonderful items that have been stored away.
My local florist rarely has that volume in stock! 😉 Love the behind the scenes...the scale of such beauty.
Karen I love how you utilize all the beautiful items of the past so all can enjoy. Gorgeous flowers. 🇨🇦
You’re bringing such warmth to Althorp. Researching items and putting your positive energy into everything must make the Earl so proud of his wife. Well done 🇨🇦
Empty vessel is just an empty vessel ~ Unless of course you are reaching for a priceless Althorp treasure. In faithful service, the filling splendor of bloom delights once again.💐PERFECTION.
Lady Spenser, I just love this channel so much. So lovely you want to use everything and preserve a heritage and history for all of us to enjoy. As an expat living in Tx, this brings so much joy to me. Thank you ever so much!
I've got some orange roses on my dining room table right now. It's a gloomy, rainy day and those roses just pop on my Pioneer Woman's tablecloth! So cheerful and bright... Nothing beats fresh flowers!!
One of my favourite episodes. This you tube site is one of only a few that I follow it’s right up there as a favourite.
I love your hands-on approach to your home. This was an extra special episode. I love flowers, especially, daffodils. I agree that beautiful things and flowers were meant to be seen and appreciated. Well done !
Flowers anywhere is wonderful.
You very special, flowers are beautiful in these huge stately homes. I love yours videos, thank you. Greetings from South Africa.
I love your attitude about using Althorp's objects!
Absolutely. It's what makes it a true family home.
Exquisite presentation 😊
This is so joyous to see you bringing the flowers into Althorp and using the pieces for the collection. The arrangements are so lovely. The tulips especially so. Having the garden growing blooms you can choose from on a seasonal basis will be wonderful.
I will be visiting this summer and each of your episodes makes me more excited to see your home.
Congratulations on this! This is the best of the British! Beautiful gardens! Really interesting to see all the vases & flowers in the vases! Please keep doing more on the gardens, perhaps local artists, potters etc…!❤️🙏🏼❤️
What gorgeous floral arrangements! They add such beauty to each room. The tulipiere is a gorgeous antique vase. It must be very rewarding and wonderfully comforting to live in such a stunning home. You do amazing work, Karen. All the best to you and to your husband, Sir Charles Spencer.
Very beautiful flowers and vases. Thank you Lady Spencer for sharing.
I love flowers, they add color and beauty to your world! And my name is Diana LaFleur
So beautiful ❤️! Flowers cheer you up, bring a touch of love to your home and to everyone who sees them! Comfort! The smell will lift your spirits, too! Karen, so lovely 🌹!
Sixty flower arrangements sounds like a daunting task! Glad you have help. I agree that using the vases and other vessels honors the memory of those who created them, and those who chose them for your grand house. The walled garden project is so exciting. Your arrangements are fantastic. The tulip display pieces are so interesting, and hearken back to the days of Tulipmania. Have you thought of having professional photographs taken of seasonal arrangements featuring your favorite vases and making them available in a wall calendar? Or perhaps a book of the photos? I enjoy your videos so much. Greetings from California, where hills and deserts are abloom with native poppies and wildflowers. :)
Wow !!! You are a hands on person. Impressive.
Seeing the beautiful parrot tulips, roses, poppies, runuculus and so many more was a treat. And I almost squealed at the cobalt and gold pieces that look like Maria Theresa pattern a friend has. Thank you for sharing these insights to Althorpe esp the books of the Gardeners who wrote down seeds. What a find if one had heirloom seeds saved from them?
You are so talented at doing flower arrangements, Karen. I love to watch how perfect they´re all composed.
Couldn’t agree with you more! Go Lady!
Absolutely gorgeous! Your beautiful home obviously returns your love. I can see it sparkling with pleasure.
The flowers are gorgeous! My late mother would have loved this channel and the videos!
Each vlog is like a treasure hunt ✨ can’t wait to learn more of your wonderful home. Thank you for sharing your discoveries with us.
I love fresh flowers it’s just beautiful
If you have it use it! Lovely 😊
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!
❤❤❤ Flowers are amazing in a home it brings the home alive.
a fantastic episode! As a flower grower and arranger (a budding one nevertheless), I particularly enjoyed this episode and will share it with my flower-arranging classmates
This is the Sweetest Countess Spencer since Synthia.. I Think Princess Diana would have loved Karen So much.
THANK YOU🌹
We need More!!!!
I love your passion. You show why a lot of Americans are drawn to the UK and interested in the Royals. We don't have that much history. Thanks for telling the origin of the vase and the connection to Queen Mary. Interesting.
It’s really exciting to be able to see parts of Althorp and how it is finally coming alive for us to see. Well done Karen.❤
Simply stunning. You are really bringing this magnificent home to life🦋
I absolutely love what you ate doing for this ancestral home, that I can imagine visiting! 🤔💫💓✨
I love all your videos so much. The flowers are beautiful. Now I understand the wall garden. Can't wait to see that when it's completed.
Beautiful
Wowee , so very beautiful Karen!!!God bless!!!✝️❤️❤️
Enjoy the juxtaposition of the present - flowers, with the past - glory of vases, locations and containers. Same juxtaposition with the libations? A tour of the wine cellar is also in order.
I rotate my vases by season, so I can enjoy them. Love the picks for the rooms.I
❤❤❤❤❤
A friend of mine worked in a restaurant that had lots of vases that they rotated use of. Now & again they would be cloudy looking & they couldn't clean it by hand because of the narrow top. He said they used denture fizzy tablets & it worked every time to clean the vases.
Very pretty
Could we see the kitchen please? 🙂
See the following grand house tour for ideas on how to utilize the tulip vases/tulippieres: ruclips.net/video/kmk4tSZQsKI/видео.html&ab_channel=Stephanie%27sGrandTourofEurope
ohh wow thats Just Awesome are they Home Grown Or ?? The Fregrances must be Jummmmm Tc xxx
Why save things for guests when the most important people are right there in the house. Quote from Lucy 1933-1985. How I was raised.
I don’t mean to be rude or nosey, but it would be interesting to know how much staff, and what type of staff is needed to run just the house itself. Thank you for your videos, they are wonderful! 💐
Could you do a tour of the some of the main rooms please?
What happened to the garden ? All that work gone 😢
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌏🪐🌕🙏🐦🇦🇺👣🦋🌸🍂🏡🌴🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank God for the English aristocratic families . I am sure they don’t allow or bother with REALITY shows in their homes , says a lot about the common society doesn’t it 😊no Kardashians in their world . Listen & learn from them , even if you are not an Earl or Countess . 😊
If only.... Meghan/Harry had had your intelligence and sensitivity and positive drive. Sorry, as a regular on your channel, had to say it. So much lost
