Flowers and New York

dsc_0409.JPG

My sweet husband gave me the most beautiful red bouquet for Valentine’s Day from one of my favorite flower shops, UTOWA! They have a funky, non traditional way of flower arranging — see the paper mache vase below. Valentine’s Day seems a little awkward, right? However, yesterday the streets of New York were a riot of flowers. I saw the most beautiful bouquets gliding by me on the subway — it seemed everyone had flowers, from the redhead with 6 dozen pale purple roses to those with a single red rose, almost no one was empty handed. I love the flowers Tim bought (esp. the crazy flowers with the green centers) and figure any day that yields such lovelies can’t be all bad. I hope all of you had celebrations both large and small. Some more beautiful UTOWA creations below:

    Lovely, lovely! Finally Mr. Cakespy came through and got some flowers too, but (don’t tell) not as pretty as these.
