Last week, I arranged some country inspired arrangements including freesia, ferns, and white roses. As the week came to its natural conclusion I was struck by how well they lived throughout the week, not all of the arrangements survived but there were enough to gather the living and make one last arrangement.
Now that I was left with empty vases the natural solution is to buy more flowers! I know most people think it is crazy to buy flowers weekly because of all the other many costs life brings. Although my life moto is to live a little each day, that is why I find flowers and well made cappuccinos to be irresistible. What is more pleasure then a clean house with flowers and a espresso each day?
Sophia, Henry, and I wondered through the farmers markets and we were delighted to see all the wonderful zinnias, dahlias, varieties of sunflowers, and scabiosas everywhere. Now, I am thinking on a budget and what will last throughout the week. My goal was to buy some essentials and flowers with the 25 dollars in my pocket. Lucky for me the scabiosas were just 8 dollars a bunch. They appear to be scrawny, but with the proper vases they can go a long way. I was able to make five arrangements out of this beautiful bunch.
What a pleasure to have such a rare, beautiful, and vibrant flower throughout the home.
pura vida,
M
