One of my earliest memories involves flowers. My mother started in the floral business when I was a toddler and her employer, a fine dutch lady, encouraged a love of flowers in me by periodically giving me tulips. Her philosophy was that any day was an occasion for flowers and that giving flowers to people was good but giving yourself flowers was needful too. It's a philosophy that I've embrace wholeheartly.
Big showy vases are fun to do, they're impressive but day to day, they're just not practical. A bright orange gerbera daisy and a bell of ireland in a bud vase is - it's bright, it's fun and it's infinitely affordable. In this day of tight fiscal planning, the luxuries often get cut first and it's hard to justify the little things. As a customer pointed out to me today, the gerbera and bell of ireland cost less than lunch and coffee out and they would be her sun in her cubicle. She says she's worth it and I agree.
