Pretty Things.

We went out to get some groceries yesterday after work and I wandered into the floral department, where I usually end up. It was blustery outside and wintery weather was forecast overnight. When a storm is brewing, I buy flowers. It's the perfect way to bring some life into your home when it's miserable outside.

I picked up a bunch of green mums, in honor of St. Patty's day, some pink carnations and pink baby roses.  I'm certainly no florist but I love the look of bunched together blooms, so I went to work. I was able to make 3 arrangements and a few little posies. We've got pops of life everywhere we look. So what if it's only me who appreciates them? :)


Contrary to popular opinion, I adore carnations. They are inexpensive, last forever and are oh-so pretty grouped together. Remember Carrie and Charlotte scoffing at the idea of a man bringing carnations on a first date? Appalling! I once shared that opinion but have changed me tune. I've shared this before, but it's worth a read.
 

In other fun news. Look what arrived? We ordered iPhone cases from Society 6 and they finally came. While very pretty (well not Steph's - it's a mixed tape *funny*), they are somewhat cheap and super slippery... or slippy as we say here on PEI! I'm scared my phone is going to slide right out of my hands. 


I really love it but will pretty win out over function? We'll see.

What about you? Do you treat yourself to anything? Flowers do it for me. What's your treat?

  2. I love treating myself to flowers! It is the best thing about the grocery store! When I feel super proud of myself I go to Whole Foods or the flower mart to pick out something super fancy! Nice cover, but function will win out in time!

  3. I always have fresh flowers in the house. Trader Joes usually has great ones around here and I buy them every week. I'm also going to ATTEMPT at getting a house plant this weekend for some year round green. We'll see how that works out. Your arrangment are lovely!

  4. I used to be a carnation snob too! But they're completely underrated - they smell wonderful and last way longer than most flowers! Love your pretty arrangements!

  6. I like carnations too. They are inexpensive and great when mixed with other flowers. I even had some at my wedding! Can't imagine dealing with winter here. I've already broken out my sandals and painted my toenails down south!

  7. Those are beautiful Jane. I love any flower that is bright and colorful except roses, not to fond of them too much.

  8. I am embracing your show of pretty most definitely! It's just wet, windy and gray here, and has been since Sunday! And I don't mind carnations for exactly the same reasons, the main one being that they last and last! Your vignettes are as pretty as the flowers in them! :-)
