PEONY

Anyone who knows me well knows that Peonies are my favorite. I could wrap myself up in this soft delicate lactiflora for hours appreciating it's wondrous smell, tender appearance, and it's natural perfections just as I could being in this shop called PEONY.. PEONY was planted in Melbourne Australia and opened it's doors to carry some of the finest fragrances from around the world. Along with French candles, endless palettes of soaps and creams and a pure line of skincare that is Vrai ("True" in French) for your skin. Not to mention the sparkling jewels that dance throughout this store reflecting all things feminine. PEONY has wrapped me up in each one of it's layers allowing me to fall in love with the shop just as much as I love the flower.

I forgot to mention that I'm creating some of my French Paper Flowers that will fill their inviting entrance filling their crystal clear windows. I'm thrilled to see the outcome as the store has gorgeous dark architecture - I know the contrast of the Creamy White Flowers by the rich vertical frames will look stunning. Jill, the owner of PEONY has some creative ideas and I look forward to sharing with you when it's complete!
PEONY carries many French candle lines; Cire Trudon being my personal favorite who has been lighting up the streets of Paris on Rue Saint-Honore since 1673. PEONY recently won the Commemorative Plaque to Boot Award which means they're Trudon's biggest seller in Australia. These candles aren't just a candle.. wait until you light one and have the invigorating scents take you right to France.

At last, PEONY carries, of course, Laduree Candles too. The best part is that you don't have to go to Paris to buy one, you can order them from HERE.
I hope you all enjoy the endless layers of this particular PEONY bloom as I have~
Best wishes to all of you!
Noel

Hi Noel, I adore Peonies!!! I had to have them as my flower of choice for my wedding but they were out of season, they are my favorite and I was so disappointed. My husband got together with the florist and had tons of them flown in from Europe just for our special day! Imagine my surprise when they handed me my bouquet!! It was a gorgeous site to behold! These gorgeous flowers have long been a favorite of mine but now they hold a special place in my heart as well.

I love this post, that store looks amazing and I can just imagine your beautiful designs and creations there. Perfection! I can't wait to see pics.
Have a great weekend!!!

Hi Noel,

Hope you are happy and well. Peonies in the yard will be blooming soon. I thought I purchased a light pink it is instead quite bright at least it matches the one the came with the house.

At least I see some lovelies on the way to work. It was traffic stop light I do not mind when the peony are in bloom.

OMG, I want to go to PEONY now not later! They have everything we love...the Cire Trudon, Laduree, OMG OMG! And you're creating flowers for them. OMG, amazing!

Tell me, why does the grocery store only have hot pink peonies and not white?

My dear Noel, I took a liberty of posting three of your pictures in order to illustrate the post about you and the hat I created out of that French linen you have sent me with a shoe.:-))) If you do wish for me to remove pictures, please, let me know, but I made sure to clearly mark them as your fabulous work! I hope you like "Noel" :-)))

They remind me a lot of Cire Trudon, they even have glass cloch, oval label and name tag on the wooden table!
