I could've gotten a manicure.
I could've bought a new shirt.
I could've bought a nice meal.
I could've bought a book or two.
But I bought flowers.
Beautiful, glorious, delightful flowers.
They called to me. I tend to be a "flower shop only" girl. I never buy flowers from the grocery store. My first job was at a florist, so I was trained to recognize quality...and there really is a difference.
But these? They called out to me while I was choosing my fruits and veggies at Trader Joe's. The creamy white hydrangeas, the soft lavender stock, they were begging to come home with me.
