Finally, I have convinced the beloved husband that I would be just as happy with a bunch of tulips as I would with an arranged vase from the florist. First, I have too many vases already and I spent ten years as a floral designer so I am fussy about my cut flowers. I always rearrange them.
In fact, I have been known to go into a rest room in a fancy restaurant or hotel with a big silk arrangement and well…rearrange it! Some habits die hard.
I like simple and here it is!

I like my flowers to remain on the earth. I know, I want the flowers to have a natural life. Those colours are gorgeous.

I am not crazy about roses. I love tulips and daisies and daffodils. I like simple beauty.

Tulips offer that promise of Spring, when their buds poke out from beneath the snow. Love your flowers. Hope you had a wonderful Valentines Day.

I adore tulips. Very pretty. I wish that you lived near me so that you could teach me how to arrange flowers. That is one skill that I have never been able to master. Love that you keep yourself in practice on hotel silk flowers. That’s wonderful.

I am very grateful. I just received an email from my niece. Her husband doesn’t do flowers but he is making lobster for supper. Everyone has their own way of celebrating.

I think those are lovely. I agree about the roses.
How interesting…….a floral designer. 🙂 It really is the arrangement that gives things their appeal or meaning.
I have been meaning to arrange a lot of things around my home……..but the idea is just not very appealing. 😦

Considering my background you would be disappointed to know that I don’t do much arranging at home. I rarely do anything other than simple vases.
