Flower Power

Since Valentines is coming up soon, my radar has been on alert for beautiful flowers.


I recently had so much fun re-arranging some ordinary store-bought bouquets in my home.
Actually, I bought only one, on SALE (you know me) for $8.99 and was able to make 2 arrangements!

Pretty pinks

I really love these colors especially with my blue and white pot

This one sits in our breakfast table
And I put the rest in our Dining room!


Got this small pot for $1.50 at an Antique store!


Still have my red flowers alive & well all the way back from Dec. 23!

I'm up for a VERY busy weekend ahead since my son is gonna be performing in Peter Pan Musical from Friday until Sunday.
He's just part of the Indian Ensemble, but even with that, technical rehearsals are still very taxing and time-consuming. My son is very happy to be part of the group though and is proud of his work, so we're on full support for this important event. Wish us luck!

Anyway, I'm Just loving all these beauties I see everyday that of course, to me, cost almost nothing.

How about you what's your favorite kind of store-bought flowers?

Have a Lovely Weekend!

  5. Great idea to split the arrangement up like that! More for your money! Good luck this weekend on your son's performance. How exciting! My favorite flowers to buy at the grocery are probably spider mums. I love those!

  12. Such exciting news for your son! And I know he'll keep these days as cherished memories all his life. I can't count the time I spent rehearsing as a child and the number of times my parents had to drive me there or pick me up later, but I love remembering those days!

  13. Those are just gorgeous, Vel! I do the same thing -- usually divide up the arrangement into 2. Another trick to make both look more lush is to buy some fill flowers which are generally even cheaper! My favorite flowers to get are the ones that someone else got for me.....lol! Hubby just did that! I especially love to get flowers from Trader Joe's -- they always seem to be in the best condition and that store just has such great variety. My choices change with the season.

    Good luck to your son in the play!
