In a fit of abject boredom yesterday afternoon, I popped over to my sister’s place and we went out to the local plaza for a little retail therapy.
Not really, I just needed to buy some cat food and a sun visor for my car, but anyway…
We walked past a florist and she started talking about how she now regularly buys fresh flowers for the house. She recommended I get some.
So I did. I bought some beautiful pink and pale green-almost-all-white roses that reminded me very much of my wedding bouquet (cue sentimentality) and some gorgeous little purple and white carnations. And I spent an hour last night cutting them up and arranging them in a couple of vases (read: large water pitchers since I don’t actually “do” vases), pricking my fingers on just about every bloody thorn on each rose while I was at it.
I discovered two things.
1. I really like fresh flowers.
2. I suck at flower arranging.
I was wandering past this afternoon and realised that all the tight buds had opened up and I had to grab my camera and run off a few shots while they still looked lovely.

Well, as we can’t see your arranging … I can say you don’t suck at photography, beautiful pic’s m’dear, just gorgeous. Oh and I love fresh flowers also, nothing like them about the house, when it is really hot (like now, pant pant) I will just cut interesting greenery and use in place of flowers. As always Ren, love ya work
i looooove carnations !
