Making Florist Bouquets Last!

It was our Anniversary on September 5th!

Who knew all those years ago what a busy time the first few days of September would be!

So busy in fact that there have been years when I forgot and Mr. S was the one who reminded me!

This year….Mr. S. surprised me with flowers delivered to school!!

He was going off on a fishing trip….I was busy with the first days of school…

The flowers were a special way to celebrate our Anniversary!

This photo doesn’t do the arrangement justice!

It was stunning and brightened my office for the whole week!

I loved the way the florist packed all the unique flowers into the glass vase and used a hosta leaf inside to disguise the stems.

Hmmmm….I am going to have to try that!

I brought it home for the weekend and by Sunday night it was looking a little droopy!

So….This is what I did…..

I simple took the flowers out of the original vase…..put some floral foam in another vase and rearranged them….I added 1 Gerbera Daisy from the garden….

AND….

Mr. S. said he actually liked this one better……what a guy!!!!

THAT arrangement lasted a whole week……now it is Saturday Morning….

AND….the arrangement looked like this…..

But not for long….

One last consolidation…..

So now these flowers are 10 days old….

I can probably get at least another 4 or 5 days out of them!!!

Thanks for the flowers Mr. S!

You all have a great day….we are off to a fun Pop-Up shop where the Sweetwater Son-In-Law is showing off the great looking shoes he designs and sells….
