Lee brought roses home, along with a gallon of orange juice and some cold fx :) I'm starting to feel better already, maybe it's the orange juice but I prefer to think it's the roses.
I LOVE using a round vase for roses. I wish I could give you a well thought out answer as to why . . . but I can't, I just think they look great in a round vase.
Anyone have a favorite shaped vase??
Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit under the weather! The whole volleyball team was passing that around last week...oh the joys of the beginning of a new school year and germs galore! The roses are beautiful. I too love a round vase. I think it is because it instantly makes any flower arrangement look fuller. Hope you have a good weekend. Chicken Noodle soup is always great for a cold!!
ReplyDeleteThe roses are gorgeous, hope you feel better!
ReplyDeleteSorry you're not feeling well, but those roses are gorgeous! How thoughtful of your husband. Those flowers look awesome in your library as well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses! I hope your start feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteYour roses look great in that little round vase.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite vase shape is a simple straight cylinder. I have a bunch of them in all different sizes. :)
Hi Ashli! Sorry to hear you are sick but BONUS about the roses :)
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that I've featured your wonderful cupcake stand today over on my blog. Thanks for the continued inspiration! :) Get better soon and enjoy the long weekend!
Lee is a sweetheart! I don't get flowers often enough to have a favorite vase, I actually technically don't even own a vase! Last time I received flowers they were from my best friend and I put them in some blue mason jars. That worked beautifully. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling back to normal soon!
I prefer roses in a round vase, too.... makes them seem less formal, I think. I put tulips in a round vase, too.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon.

Sorry you're under the weather! Lovely little bouquet presented in such a charming way - love the round vase! I have a square "cube" vase about the same size that I like to put roses in:

Get well soon - LOVE your blog - you truly are an inspiration! :)
Funny, I just put that Bill Bryson book on my reading list last week. :)
ReplyDeleteI love my small round vase for hydrangeas. My fave - and they seem to last forever as long as they've got water!
Hope you're feeling better after a long weekend of R&R.
Isn't it wonderful when you put a vase of roses ..... or any flower for that matter in a room, and see how beautiful the room looks. I would rather have fresh cut flowers everyday rather than diamonds!!! Hope you feel better.
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteI don't know exactly when it started, but every two weeks they just kept coming, and I didn't want to question it! haha
