No, I didn’t HAVE to buy anything, and neither (obviously) do you for a party. It’s just that I hardly ever do something so frivolous and I had a hankering for something new.
This time of year, flowers are always a nice touch, and these feminine pink roses caught my attention.
The back story on this is that for years, I lived just 15 minutes from the Flower Warehouse in Blue Ball, Pennsylvania. They had every imaginable variation of silk and dried flowers/plants you could possibly imagine. Hundreds and hundreds of square feet to wander through. A decorators dream. Sigh.
Naturally, I became a flower snob. With so much to chose from in a quality no other store could match, there was no need to settle for less than the best.
Even today, I would rather do nothing, than do gaudy. And sadly, there is little here in Indiana which can compare to the Flower Warehouse.
However, like I said, these lovely silk flowers (which I found in the most unlikely of places) caught my attention! I know you are wondering where. But wait.
I picked out one stem of silk roses, two of pink tipped carnations, a sprig of baby’s breath and a stem of (decidedly plastic) ferns. From the the next isle over, I picked up a large clear vase and three net bags of glass pieces (in green and white).
And this, this great big beautiful arrangement, went home with me.
What did it cost me? Just $9! Now do you know where I found them? Yep. The Dollar Tree!
I’m still a flower snob. But I’m tickled pink with this frugal arrangement.
