COMMENTS FROM FRIENDS and BLOGGERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD..
Just a quick note all the way from Miami, Florida USA.
I wanted to thank you soooo much, everyday no matter how stressful and fast my life may be (working realtor, mother of three, etc...) I open your blog and reaches my soul...( I know that sounds tacky) but your taste is exquisite. I really cannot understand why you are not published. You could be the next Martha Stewart in your country and here in the states. You really have a special gift and talent.
Thank you once again, and wishing you all the best.

The World's Most Beautiful Blog
Greetings from the Scribbler!I have discovered the world's most beautiful blog! It is by Coty Farquhar in Australia. ...
I am BLOWN AWAY by your issue!!!! You are soooo talented, if you had a physical magazine I would camp out overnight to subscribe! Have you ever thought of it? You have a real gift and trust me coming from a magazineaholic there IS room and demand for this kind of magazine. Its kind of like Southern Accents, Town and Country and Victoria all rolled into one gorgeous publication. You did such a spectacular job. Thank you so very much for letting me be a part of it!
Best, Tina, The Enchanted Home

Coty,
I read your blog because it is the most beautifully fantastic blog on the planet! Nothing else compares. It is the first blog I read every day because I need the eye candy to thrill and inspire me. Your photography is beyond fabulous, your talent is outstanding, you love the same things I do, I enjoy your personality and your skill at all you do is just above and beyond. I think you should put all these photos and text into a book and it would sell around the world as a top seller. My dream is to be only a fraction as good as you are at photography and tablescapes. You are just amazing.

Just a short note to tell you how much I love your work. What a gift you have! It’s truly superb and inspiring. It fills my heart with joy when I see your photographs and articles, I just can’t stop taking them in.
They posses the magic quality of transporting one to another reality, they evoke a certain romance, the best of a time long gone. A time of refinement, beauty and nobility.
Some things cannot be expressed with words, just felt with the heart.
Thank you for the quality and effort you put into your work.
Best regards,

Brooke from Velvet and Linen,
Styling by Coty Farquhar is truly a feast for the eyes. It includes so many gorgeous images that are styled and photographed by Coty herself. I first fell in love with her blog when I saw her photographs of the gardens of Kennerton Green. I knew right then and there that I would be visiting as much as possible.
Yours is the most incredibly beautiful magazine I've EVER seen!!! I've looked at all
the available issues...Being an artist, I consider your work very INSPIRATIONAL!
You truly have a gift for presenting the most gorgeous...& interesting...subject matter!
It lifts my spirits to see all this...Coty, thank you for sharing your talent and giving so
much joy to others.
Your new friend........Marilyn
Cote de Texas said...
What a gorgeous blog!!! You are sooo talented - the photographs are stunning. Makes me jealous! :)Thank you so much for your wonderful comment to the Skirted Roundtable. I loved it. It's always trying to think what could have been - but it looks like you have certainly made quite a huge success out of your life.
Thanks again!Joni
I am going to take this opportunity to tell you how much your artistic expression in your work uplifts and inspires me. It arrives with a huge burst of energy, vitality, beauty and pleasure. Your sourcing through photography of monthly color pallets you focus on have a purity to them. So much of the natural world is tainted and damage, but you are able to see and find what is still beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gifts. Kathleen

I have been a follower of Coty's for a long long time. I think she is the greatest styler of all time and tell her so regularly. Her talent is the most creative I have ever seen. It is my first blog read of the day. Her skill at photography is beyond amazing. I can't wait to see her first book and cherish every page. I would love to win any of the earrings but the pearl and coral ones are very special. Thank you Coty for everything you do. You have no idea how much you have enriched my life.

So glad to see Coty's wonderful photos here and to read your praises of her. She is, indeed, amazing, and I never leave her blog without having been inspired by the beauty I find.

Dear Coty,
I just wanted to tell you how Very Much I Enjoy Your Magazine, it's so Lovely, it seems each page is more beautiful than the last, and the articles are so interesting, you out do yourself with each issue, I feel so lucky that I came upon it in Pinterest one day, Lucky me!!
Thank You, so much, I'm excited every time there is a new issue, what an enormous talent you have.
Thank You,

I've been a follower of Coty's for a long time. I love her artistry. You picked a wonderful table to showcase, although picking any of them would have been very hard as each post is as beautiful as they come. Thanks for hosting this lovely give away.. like you, I'm partial to the pearl drops! But love them all just the same. I couldn't like her on FB so I had to ask her to be a friend...did I mess that up?
I think I'll share your post on FB and blog about it later, I'll let you know..

Two things I most love in your post today Coty: 1. You are disorganised - it is such a relief to me when someone else admits to that, and yet still manages to get so much done! 2. You have monks coming to bless you and your shop - how cool is that?! there are days when I could definitely do with a quick buddhist blessing! Have a great week Sharon

Coty, I sat down with a cup of coffee this Christmas Eve morning and explored more of your blog. What can I say but WOW! Such visual eye candy. All your pictures are just wonderful and so soothing to the eye. It is true, your blog is the best one in the whole world! Could you please write a book? I want it on my coffee table! Merry Christmas! --Delores
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Coty. There is no site on the web that compares to yours. Looking at it each day is like taking in a fresh breath of air on a moutaintop. It fills you up, creates a sense of peace, soothes your eyes with lovlieness and inspires you to create. Every one of your pictures is a work of art standing alone, but the way you montage them lets us get many views of the subjects. Thank you for sharing your work with us in the states.

Hi Coty,The lilacs themselves, the expressive way you've utilized them in your home, and your always-inspiring photography leave me breathless (and NOT in the allergic way!). I clicked the first three choices in your poll and could have kept clicking, but stopped, assuming you were looking for the primary reasons people visit your blog. There wasn't a place to select "engaging personality," or "personal warmth and generosity of spirit," or "professional experience in creative fields," or "always a fun, informative read." All those and more would apply. Visiting your blog is like turning through the pages of a high-end decorating/lifestyles magazine. Thank you for inviting us into your home and your life and for sharing your amazingly creative gifts.
Warmest regards,Bill
Heavenly Coty... Your images are beautiful... xv
Oh I wish I could pop in your beautiful shop and pick up some props! I am a stylist as well, up in the middle of the night making my lists of lists for next weeks shoot. Well I should be making lists....I found your blog for the first time and it is filled with such ethereal images and pure fantasy i am having a hard time pulling away! i love it. I can't wait to spend a few hours 'catching up' when this shoot is over. It is an all Dessert Show so will not be too painful!

Coty, I think you have an exceptional talent. I am a fairly recent follower here so I'm catching up on your past work which I love. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better you tell us you have another garden blog.I'll never get anything done at this rate:)
I love the delicate white Nigella, the pale chartruese Hellebore cascading across the shoulder of the stone figure and the dove photo is so romantic.
I'm off to follow the other blog.
I cannot think of a lovelier spot than sitting at the table by the sea - I want to be at this gathering... My morning has been consumed with perusing all of your lovely images. Will definitely be following!

Beautiful! Your questionnaire, however, was very difficult (until I got to the bottom and saw "all of the above"). I love anything and everything you do, including your photography and occasionally seeing your husband's furniture, which were not on the list! I also love things about your blog that cannot be put on a list -- the feeling of serenity and the feeling of visiting someone who is amazingly talented in so many areas! laurie
I think you are probably living a life I would have loved. I'm not a jealous person, but whenever I visit your blog, I do think how cool it is to earn a living styling like you do! Your rolled turf down the table was a brilliant idea, can't have been easy not getting crumbs of earth on the white table cloth. Looks fantastic. If I lived nearer, like your side of the world, I'd be knocking at your door, begging you to take me on as part of your team! Sharon

What a wonderful gift you have of showing the beautiful things in life and how they can change our world. Isn't it just magic how as we grow older by grace we learn to slow down and smell not only the roses but to appreciate all that life has to give us. Looking forward to keeping in touch Susie

"no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should", how reassuring that sounds Coty, and what a beautiful text. Thank you for all the beauty you shared with us on your blog in 2010, and for the kind comments you left with me. May the new year be kind to us all, and may it bring you and yours peace, health and happiness. Sharon

Dear Coty, It is I who wishes to thank you. When I find a notice that Coty has just added a new post, I rush to see what beautiful imagery and words you've given to us. Sometimes I just sit and stare at the screen... lost in the feelings and thoughts they inspire. Sometimes, when the daily rigors of life seem overwhelming, I come here to your blog just to look at something peaceful and lovely. You are one of my favorite artists. And now I'm sure I will get to enjoy the autumn and winter images you are sure to enchant us with. Vicki

Oh Coty! This is gorgeous! I'm working on the garden walk Saturday, and I'm doing a tablesetting under the pergola (I wrote a big blog about it - so follow me over and check it out) and I'm looking for inspiration - of course, I knew I could come here and find tons! I'm loving the idea of the black and white check. I was thinking of blue and white, but now that I see how gorgeous this is ... I'm second guessing. Oh, and the styling... GORGEOUS! OF COURSE! So, don't be so surprised if you see that copied next week when I play in TT Thursday! :) Can't wait! Thank you so so so so much for the inspiration! :)
