I buy flowers for myself once a week at the grocery store. The grocery store has the best flowers...they are cheap and always in season. Ok..Trader Joes is even better if you have one. I bought these pink roses for $6.99 a dozen. They are gorgeous! Mix them in with some $3.99 orange Gerbera daisy's and you have yourself a pretty bouquet. I LOVE pink and orange together..I made a few bouquets for the CCD teachers. They had their hands full this year with the 2nd graders. Tell your husband to run to the grocery store for milk or eggs and have him check out the floral department. There is no reason why he can't pick you up a bunch of flowers... I'm even on a first name basis with the florist there.
hhmmmmm...i just bought 20 vintagey palest pink & white roses from our grocery store...a local -small carbon footprint kinda place & paid £6...i also bought seeds for planting & boring dishwasher tablets & loo paper....so i hear you pam! throw in some roses and make it a lovely trip rather than just essential!

This is something I want to be better about doing because it brings such a freshness to your home. My mom ALWAYS had fresh flowers on the table. I love the orange and pink together too...beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteI've tried to do this. But when I'm in the grocery store with two screaming demanding kids I always forget. I vow to become first-namers with the florist. Thanks for the kick I need.
