I really love having fresh flowers in the home. Unfortunately, I have to take blame for the reason my doting husband does not buy me flowers as often as he once did. When we were first dating Scotty would always buy me flowers for no reason. Talk about spoiling a girl!! He always bought me these flowers from Trader Joe’s- I don’t know the kind, which I know I should know being a girl but that’s besides the point! Anyway they were really pretty pink flowers that had these brown things in the center that if you touch them (or they touch you) it stained! Well one day I was bringing my flowers home and I was getting out of my awesome green civic (loved that car!) and I touched the flowers to the ceiling of my car. A few curse words later and the roof was stained from that day on. The car met a more fatal fait a few months later, but let’s stay on topic! So I called Scotty in a huff and said I love when he buys me flowers, but let’s not get these kind any more. Little did I know what those few words would result in… flowers for Valentine’s Day only! Not true really, but my less-than-loving words did result in far less flowers being given. I have forever regretted those words because I do love flowers and of course the thought behind the giving. Now, flowers still do come and at random times- which means the most to me, honestly. But what it also means is that if I want flowers in the home consistently, I need to buy them. I absolutely LOVE sunflowers, so when I saw these beauties on sale at Ralph’s, I made sure to get some. In fact, when I was at Target I also bough a sunflower scented candle to accent my new flowers. I love flowers and I love candles… what more does a girl need??
