Birthday Blooms

I came home last week on my birthday to find the prettiest little homemade flower arrangement on my doorstep. It’s amazing how just a few pretty blooms will put such a big smile on your face, or mine anyway.

Isn’t it just perfectly pretty. It was a nice reminder of the power of a simple gesture and of how easy one can pick up a few flowers and fashion them into the most perfect little package. In truth, I don’t know that I would have been able to arrange them quite this pretty, maybe my friend Meg has another career in her future…

I received this beautiful bundle of blooms from another lovely friend:

This one was arranged by the neighborhood florist shop down the street- another reminder of how wonderfully creative and detail-specific your local businesses and shops can be. I know the owner of this shop and she puts her heart and soul into her business. Love it.

Thank you all!

    You are so right about the small gestures. When Daddy passed away the simplest note, card, text, phone call meant the
    world to me. Still does. Makes me very mindful to pay if forward. And Happy Belated Birthday to a most special wonderful
    woman!
