one resolution

001

… was to buy more flowers for the house.  Maybe not every week, but definitely more often.  These are just a simple bouquet from Costco, but it is in such happy colors.   Another thing I bought at Costco was a down mattress pad.  It is on sale for about $20, and it is like sleeping on little happy clouds of “aaaahhhh”.  Pretty flowers and a good night’s rest sound like a recipe for a good day to me. 

Best,

Stephanie

    Ah...something else we have in common. I love having fresh flowers in our house and a couple times a month I'll pick up a group of flowers while I'm grocery shopping. I love the lift it gives our kitchen table!!!

    Your down mattress pad sounds heavenly...

    Wow that's cheap for a mattress pad! I love fresh flowers but hate spending the money on them unless it's a special occasion!

    Beautiful! I buy them occasionally at the grocery store. It just cheers you up to see them. Have a good day.

    That sounds like a perfect combination to me. If I thought it would work for me, I would buy everything new. I have a hard time turning my mind off a night.

    I love fresh flowers, hate paying for them in winter, but every so often is a treat.
    I get mine at Sams Club. I know it is far for you. Costco and Sams are far, the joys of living out here! LOL

    What a perfect post! Flowers always make you feel happy. It's a treat for the soul ~ like chocolate. You wouldn't want to eat it three times a day, but every once in a while ...ahhhhh!Love the pictures.

    What a dreamy combination - no pun intended ;)
    One of my favorite ways to treat myself is with tulips from Whole Foods. It is my little nod to self-care and they make me so happy. Only my best wishes for you in 2011, Stephanie!

    I think that's a wonderful resolution! I find that they last longer than a week and sometimes I just take the dead ones out and make a smaller bouquet from what's left.
