A lovely bouquet of flowers was sent to the office for me the other day and the sender made a point of letting me know that he had SPECIFICALLY requested the color of the roses in the arrangement for me. Doing what I do, I suppose I should have known this, so I was slightly at a loss to what exactly he was trying to say with the color of the roses and hoping that I could run off to the bathroom with my iphone and look it up before I needed to register a reaction. I didn’t do it then, but I did do it later, and it got me thinking of the old tradition of the groom paying for... |
Did you catch Brooklyn Bride's post about Rosenthal's Moon series dinnerware? Her quest for simple and elegant lead directly to these beauties while her sentiment about not wanting "flowers cascading over the sides and onto our coffee cups, or with tiny little butterflies all over the place," can be echoed in my household as well.
