Unfortunately for me, this gorgeous bouquet won't be staying.
It is a hostess gift for a little dinner party planned for this evening (no pizza night this week!) and I wish it were mine. I wish Matt would buy me flowers every week. My Opa did for HIS wife! Not roses or anything, just something a little wild and imperfect and sweet.
sigh
If only I could justify buying myself beautiful flowers every week.
Blue Waxflowers, the most romantic-colored peach Stock (oh, I love the spicy smell of stock! I could drink it.) and a jar, dressed up for the occasion. I get to enjoy it for a few more hours.
(I modpodged fabric to a jar headed toward recycling ~NOT one of my precious canning jars!~ and then tied it round with a bit of lace and some cotton twine.)
Hope your weekend is beautiful.
The flowers are beautiful! And I like the jar, too. What a neat idea! Enjoy your dinner party and have a wonderful weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteOh! That jar is a most lovely idea for a personalized, hostess gift--I love it and would NEVER have thought of it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I know how you feel about flowers every week. While I lived in England the flowers were unbelievably inexpensive and surprisingly long-lasting. With fresh water, they would last for 2-3 weeks at a time, so for a few years I had fresh flowers nearly every week. It was so glorious and now that that season in life has passed, I realize even more what a treasure it was. Nothing else seems to cheer a home quite like fresh blooms. Enjoy them while you can. :) Have a beautiful weekend!
GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteYou should have yourself over for a dinner party at least once a week. Flesh flowers to savor and expense justified!
