No matter how many times I hint, beg and outright demand flowers from my lovely it has been too long to remember when I last received any. Not that he's not romantic, he just doesn't get the opportunity to go shopping which I understand.
So I've taken to catching a different buss home about once a fortnight so I can go along Beaufort Street and buy myself some flowers
That one bunch of flowers gets spread throughout the house ... some in the bathroom, some in the bedroom, and most in the living room for all to see. In vases, little jars, or even empty wine bottles make great containers for flowers.
Do you buy flowers for yourself?

I often wished I lived closer to Beaufort Street just so I could buy flowers from there each week :) I often take a trip up that way (I'm south of the river) just so I can buy a bunch or two to enjoy around our house. Nothing like fresh flowers Paul is not a big flower buyer either - but I don't mind as I quite like choosing out a bunch for myself. A while back, my brother in law and sister-in law got me avoucher for a florist for a birthday gift - was nice to choose out a bunch every now and then for free :)
ReplyDeleteIs there a special florist on Beaufort St? I don't buy flowers for myself. I love flowers in the garden and I like the idea and look of flowers inside but in reality I'm not a huge flowers-inside person, particularly if they are pongy flowers. I really don't like floral scents, particularly roses because most of them are so strong they invade the whole house and make my nose crinkle. I do love those pictures of flower arrangements though, no ponginess in a picture!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, i do the same, $7 from the farmer's market & i can get a larger & better bunch of oriental lilies than i had in my wedding bouquet, happy memory of our wedding day, fraction of the price, husband need not worry about being unromantic. Doesn't faze me either, i like a manly man, who loves me to pieces, but forgets the frills. Love Posie
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea to give yourself a little boost. I walk past a beautiful florist in Cloisters Arcade on my way to the bank each day. As its the end of the day, she often has specials outside but I never stop and buy. next week I might just treat myself!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I never get flowers either but at least we can buy ourselves some ;) Loving all your flowers on pinterest, the bathroom tray picture is outta control!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous inspiration here! And yes, its one little way of treating myself and they just add so much to a space! Thanks for visiting Miss Walker come back soon! xx
ReplyDeleteOh, I so need to do this! There's not really a great place to buy flowers here that I'm able to get to easily, but I should make the effort. I love flowers.
ReplyDeleteI don't get flowers often enough (either from others or for myself). Might have to rectify that ....
ReplyDeleteI haven't bought flowers for myself but I really should. It's always a nice surprise when my sweet comes home with "Just Because" flowers but I have to admit it's just not often enough. :)
