______________<\/p>\n

Our Easter was very nice and so relaxing, spent part of the day\/night in NYC and it was hopping no pun intended:)\u00a0 Hope you are enjoying the spring weather…its been cool but beautiful and the trees and dormant flowers are ever so slowly starting to wake up from their long winter nap, love it! I actually opened up my windows the other day which reminded me of the small pleasures in life:)<\/p>\n

So last week I shared with you my fun adventure to the NY flower market (click here if you missed it)<\/em><\/a> and today I am going to share with you part 2, what happened when those flowers came home with me:) So here we go with what might be one of my favorite posts ever!<\/p>\n

STOP!<\/strong> If you do not love flowers (and I mean L O V E) or blue and white then no need to read any further. Yes there are a lot of pictures here and yes I was like a mad scientist who was unstoppable (oh but what fun it was) and yes I took out the big guns to photograph these (my Nikon “good” camera) sometimes you just can’t beat a “real” camera’s picture quality and finally if you are like me, blue and white and flowers together can cause heart palpitations….takes one to know one:)<\/p>\n

\"10136-CalligraphicDesignElementsSet1_2-1024x215-300x6311212-1-1-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First the loot on my kitchen counter top (yes another reason I desperately need a greenhouse)!<\/p>\n

\"indaaex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This HUGE box of fresh moss for $30!<\/p>\n

\"adsf\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Are these not the most beautiful color!<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"indfddex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Whipping out the ginger jars to help make my flowers come alive, thankfully\u00a0 have tons of small jars<\/p>\n

\"inde5ttx\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The tulips took my breath away…….<\/p>\n

\"unnam43ed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Laying out my “ingredients”<\/p>\n

\"ind33ex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These roses were $10.00! They were on their third day so I got them at a bargain and loved the color and slightly aged look…they worked beautifully<\/p>\n

\"index5t\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ta dah! My first arrangement:) and this flower below\u00a0 is not only so beautiful but lasts sooooo long!<\/p>\n

\"unname6666d\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And\u00a0 this is when I got busy with my many arrangements, did I say many:)<\/p>\n

\"inbvdex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"inggdex\"<\/a> \"inde5tgx\"<\/a> \"inde6yhx\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0611\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then like little soldiers they were discharged from my kitchen into many areas around my house…..<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0637\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"is3ndex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think the green, ivory and soft pink are so beautiful together<\/p>\n

\"indddex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0655\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Loved the grouping on my living room\u00a0 mantle<\/p>\n

\"ind1qwex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Aren’t flowers in mint julep cups so pretty?<\/p>\n

\"i75ndex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dining room mantle was shown some love too:)<\/p>\n

\"is43ndex\"<\/a> \"infssdex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The flowers inspired me to set up a beautiful table for two….<\/p>\n

\"inde6yyx\"<\/a> \"ieeendex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They were perfect on my hall chest as a beautiful blue and white vignette<\/p>\n

\\\"DSC_0657\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"inderrex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another combination that shows how you can mix real and faux (cherry blossoms)<\/p>\n

\"inde5ttx\"<\/a> \"indexsx\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A full and luscious arrangement in my living room on a side chest<\/p>\n

\"in3edex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0647\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I even snapped a picture for an ad that I will feature…and love the way it came out (you are seeing it here first)!<\/p>\n

\"in24dex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally 7 days later they are still here, yes they are in their later stage of life but miraculously are still so beautiful. No way are they getting thrown away until there are no petals left, I enjoyed this way too much and want to savor every last drop (petal)!<\/p>\n

\"indwe23ex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Think I had fun? YES I did:) Thank you for stopping in and sharing my flower journey with\u00a0 me. I laughed thinking I was upset that I had not planned anything around getting to share all these flowers then I reminded myself I am getting to share them with thousands and thousands of my best friends….you! And it doesn’t get better than that. I have a feeling there will be more “flower binges” to come. Until next time……<\/p>\n
