FLOWERS – A WELCOME ADDITION TO ANY DÉCOR

flowers-its your day There is nothing like the look and smell of a colorful bunch (aka bouquet) of fresh cut Flowers.  The way a vase of flowers enhance a room is breathe taking, they help to keep that summer sunshine and springtime glow constant throughout your home.  Flowers not only brighten an otherwise dull room, they also serve as a natural air freshener for any bathroom, family room, guest room, or any other room in the home.  A vase of flowers could and should adorn every room in any and every home, everyday. 
Sure, it’s always nice to get an unexpected gift – cash works for me.  But whenever you feel the desire to spruce up your spirits or home you may want to consider taking a trip to the florist, or simply pick up the phone and order an arrangement or two. 

Bottom-line, if you want Flowers, don’t allow anything to stand in your way to get flowers, even if you have to get them for yourself.  However, if you’re the kind of person who’d rather give flowers than receive them, remember, fresh cut flowers aren’t just for the holidays or to cheer up the sick.  Flowers are a delight anytime or for any reason, and whether you buy them at the store or you get them out of your own personal garden, they're always a joy to the person that receives them.   Sending flowers during a sporting event, especially the Superbowl, can be considered a priceless and welcomed gift.

A final suggestion, periodically send yourself a bouquet of flowers to your job, you’ll be amazed at how easy fresh cut flowers can transform the ambiance of a routinely dull environment, while at the same time putting you and your colleagues in a pleasant mood – can you say, “ a delightful mood equals better productivity.”    You or that special person you know, deserve the marvelous scent of a fresh cut, so why not order some fresh Flowers for them or yourself, so that you can be a cut above the rest, because flowers are a welcome addition to any décor – at any time.

Milestone Tradition Ends With Anew – And Resolutions Be Damn.

Milestone birthdays 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th, 55th, and so on usually consist of throwing a big hoorah party with family and friends.  Or perhaps  traveling via a Carnival cruise ship to exotic exciting Barbados, offering endless fun filled days basking in the shimmering glow of the sun while floating on the clam coral blue waters – or digging your toes into the warm white sand as you sit on the beach and sip leisurely on a tall refreshing drink recommended as one of the favorites the local natives enjoy.  However, sometimes traditions are meant to be broken or at least amended.   No need to wait to proclaim a New Year’s resolution, that you may not keep,  instead opt for a gift worth giving onto yourself and others.   That said…

Well, wouldn’t you know it, a milestone birthday for a certain Writer has arrived and not wanting to be a follower or just feeling its time to break with tradition, I’ve decided to give myself one of the best gifts I could possibly give or receive, a self-serving meant to be shared gift - the gift of accomplishment.   In my case, that gift would consist of the completion of my novel;  starting with a jumping off point of publishing 2-4 novellas to be followed by the ultimate goal of accomplishment, so look for it, the suspense (novel) I will soon be sharing.   In the meantime, Happy Birthday to me.

Tis' The Season For The Simple Meaningful Gift

flowers-autumn centerpiece

For some insane reason I have become my family’s designated-go-to-person for holiday ideas, and they look to me to come up with special events and so forth. So I try to think of different things to do to celebrate and earmark the occasions, because tis’ the season after season ...that warms our table and warms our hearts. Although I want our holidays to be special I don’t want our family members to waste unnecessary money on expensive undertakings.

I’ve sent cards, hosted theme dinners, and arranged out of state adventures, but considering the state of our economy, an out of state adventure can be somewhat costly with large families such as mine. Therefore, this year I was trying to do something special with my family; while still staying within a well-defined budget.

Yet, I was at a lost as to what I should or could do.   I considered perhaps once again sending cards to each family member, but everyone sends cards, plus I’d already done that a few years back…then it hit me, I love fresh cut flowers so instead of cards, sending festive floral arrangements seem a bit more meaningful, it says you took the time to select something special for someone special – and family members will remember that you did. It’s such an inexpensive meaningful gesture of love and affection…

If/when you want to wish everyone you know a holiday filled with all the goodness of the season happy thanksgiving - basketand plenty of time to enjoy it. I think flowers can say it all.  If you don’t know who to call or where to go, try Flowers they are able to help you with all your occasion needs. They have something for every occasion ; including Christmas, Thanksgiving, Anniversary, Congratulations, Get Well, I'm sorry, Just because, Love & romance, New baby, Sympathy & funerals, Thank you, & Wedding.

1-800-flowers,  offer plants from Bonsai to house plants; they even offer fruit & gourmet baskets-yummy! Don’t forget they offer to hand-deliver the same day! So, tis’ the holiday season, and I decided to think fresh, think flowers, and think 1-800-flowers.
