This week I was really hoping that I had time to go to a craft shop to get some floral foam. However, again with the tight schedule with my son, work and the "hallmark holiday" that is Valentine's, etc., I just went to a local grocery store yesterday and picked up 5 stems of Gerbera Daisies. I also wanted to purchase some greens to go along with it, but since I was at the place known as "Whole Paycheck", that would have gone way over my budget of $10. So, I stuck with just the Gerberas. I was looking for alternatives for the greens at their produce section, but I didn't have any luck finding anything I wanted to use. By the way, it was interesting to see all those gentlemen occupying the whole store yesterday buying a bouquet and grocery for valentine's dinner (I assumed). I wondered if they took the entire afternoon off...
When I came home, I was quite busy cooking a romantic dinner for my lovely husband who works so hard for us every day. Because I didn't have time to arrange the flowers as I wanted, they were just thrown into one of my favorite vases. The vase itself is very unique, and I was actually lucky enough to help design it at one of my previous jobs. For a second this morning, I thought it might be ok to post this arrangement as is, but my gut said "no". I had a fear of this "therapy" becoming just buying grocery store flowers and putting them in a weirdly shaped vase. So I looked around our living room and found these shot glasses and hand towel holders made of lacquered bamboo. And I made a small arrangement with one of the Gerberas.
Ok, so it could be "throwing some grocery store flower in a weird vases", but at lease I tried. I think it's cute as a button. So I made two of them, put them on a wall self by the front door either side of a key tray. Do you think I found an easy way out???
