Valentines Day may be over for another year, the blooms wilting and the colours faded but that doesn’t mean that we should forget about flowers.
Flowers have always made me happy. One bloom, two blooms three blooms more.
I love all of them and if I was guilty of one extravagance, it would be flowers.
I feel as if our home is undressed without flowers, even if it is one stem in a bud vase on a mantle or a stash of greenery in a tin cache pot in the kitchen.
Nature, however simple, adds life and a loving touch to decor.
Flowers aren’t just for special occasions, to be plonked in a vase on a table.
Flowers are for the every day and need to be prepared and arranged if they are to give of their best.
I often buy myself a bunch if I am feeling in need of a pick me up, a little like a new lipstick.
Small gestures but massively successful when it comes to the feel good factor… xv
