So since he's up and about, zipping around the house in his souped-up walker and babbling once again, and since it's Wednesday, I figured I'd throw on my event planner hat and let you in on a little secret: I detest fake flowers. And when I say detest, I mean DETEST. Hate to see em. Period.
Now, this has become a thorny issue on more than one occasion with a client or two. I fight tooth and nails to eradicate them from their lives, and I will not install fake flowers under any circumstance. (I do suspect that some clients reinstall the ones I remove once I'm no longer around to see em..)
I understand that some can look pretty real, and I get that they don't need water or sunshine, and will probably outlive you and your grandchildren. But to me, there's nothing better than seeing fresh cut flowers in a home or as a centerpiece. They bring tremendous joy to your life. I promise you. So why fake the funk with these?
When you could have these?
Are you fake flower enthusiast? Or on team real? Lemme know. I'm serious. Holla, holla, holla.
I am sorry you are. It feeling well...but look how happy your cutie-pie is! Ok, I do own one arrangement of not exactly real hydrangeas. Other than that, I am real all the way. I guess I am like that housewife that says "I am 98% real".
ReplyDeleteHey lady. Thanks. Hate having a cold. uugh. But will soldier on.
ReplyDeletehehe re: the not exactly real hydrangeas. Hehe..98% real is acceptable around here.
Fake flowers are GROSS! And they collect dust! A nice compromise, I think, are flowering houseplants. Maybe a nice orchid plant that can live inside?
ReplyDeleteYes maam. That is a great compromise. Loves me some orchids but I must admit that I'm horrible at being able to see em bloom a second time. No green thumb around here. Blessings to the orchid enthusiasts I know who often rescue my sorry looking buds and bring em back for a second, third....bloom. Amen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not into fake flowers either. That's why I love orchids, but I do get impatient for them to bloom again. Most of the time I just enjoy the greenery of houseplants.
Hey Jessica,
DeleteThanks for popping by. Thanks too re: my lil cutie. Loves that kid.
Love some orchids and houseplants as well.
p.s. you need to post that Design Star post on HGTV's FB. It's a riot, and so freaking on point!
Haha team real. They will last a while and always look better than the fake.
ReplyDeleteLoves!
