Friday flowers

Finally, some flowers that are actually in my house.

peonies

I got these at TJs for 1/4 of the Whole Foods price (where I had seen them earlier and couldn't bring myself to spend $22.99 on 6 stems). It seems like they re-stock on Monday, and have plenty of them Monday and Tuesday but if you go at the end of the week, there are none to be had. Maybe that's just my Trader Joes.

I love them even when they get overblown and start to droop.

  5. I love it when TJ has them. I went to TJ on Wed and they had some, but it was really picked over. These are so lovely.

  7. Milk glass vase + peonies = extra jealous of your flowers today. :) I haven't seen peonies anywhere near me, and I love them so much. I'll just keep living vicariously through everyone else's photos, haha.

  8. I love them ESPECIALLY when they get overblown and begin to droop.

  9. peonies are the best when droopy. I think because that's when they remind us of hot and happy summer days.

  15. Bought a bunch of peonies from the reduced section at the supermarket last night - 50p and probably too far gone, but their fading beauty just called to me.
