Friday flowers

Cheery yellow mums this week.

mums & tea

I think my favorite part about buying flowers is carrying them home on the bus. It feels so chic. Although I also love arranging them when I get home. And looking at them the rest of the week.

So I guess I love everything about my weekly indulgence.

  12. Oh, look! A different Helen right above me! I love when that happens.

    I, too, feel incredibly chic and even a little mysterious when I buy flowers and have to walk somewhere with them in hand or, better yet, poking out of my satchel {love the word and concept of a satchel, too}. I'd like to think people see me and wonder if I'm bringing the flowers to a hunny, or getting them for myself, or falling in love with the world. I've an active imagination ...

  14. I know what you mean about liking carrying flowers on the bus! When I was in Paris, I wanted to buy flowers just to be able to carry them around...after all, that's what posh parisians do, isn't it? Then they stop for wine and cheese or a smoke...or a pastry.

  15. Hey! I have a quick question. What's the best way to get your flowers to last as long as possible?

    Thanks so much, love the blog!
