Hi there friends, now this is the fun part. I got to come home with all of my beautiful flowers from the NY flower market and play, and play I did! If you missed part 1 click here<\/em><\/a>. I had such an amazing time at the NY flower market…I would choose to go there over visiting a\u00a0 jewelry store any day. What can I say….my husband got lucky:) I am sure I will be going back sooner than later as flowers just make me happy.<\/p>\n

Getting to play with all these flowers\u00a0 makes me want to either become a florist or more realistically plan a party or luncheon, maybe when life “slows down” if that ever happens.\u00a0 So take a look at the “playing” I did with my flowers, had such fun……can you tell?\u00a0 I used my Nikon aka the big gun for all of these pictures to be sure the beauty of the flowers was given proper attention! And here we go……<\/p>\n

My first arrangement involved blue and white china from Juliska (plus Blue Willow plates) , my own monogrammed napkins and a mix of roses and tulips in one of my blue and whites (the table cloth was from something I have had). I just love this play on colors, so fresh and springy-<\/p>\n

Then I experimented with tulips in a larger vase…..<\/p>\n

And then went elsewhere….<\/p>\n

And then moved onto\u00a0 an all white grouping….<\/p>\n

This picture above almost looks like an oil painting, would like to think its my amazing photography skills but all the credit goes to the “subject”<\/p>\n

Think I went to\u00a0 flower heaven? Oh yes I did……and most of them are still going strong. Credit to the quality and freshness of the flowers bought at the market vs. a local market or florist…..they tend to last markedly longer which is very interesting.<\/p>\n

Here are a few things I learned\/tips-<\/h3>\n
