Always stop to smell the flowers!
Flowers, whether a huge bouquet or single stem, always bring a smile to my face. There is something special about flowers that make us swoon – I am sure it is the combination of the colors, the beauty and intricacy of nature, and the pleasing scents.
We recently had Teacher Appreciation week, and the week started off with all the students handing me a flower on Monday morning. My desk was overflowing with a wide assortment of beautiful blooms. I felt very special and appreciated! Just look at the kaleidoscope of colors and textures. Beautiful!
There is no doubt about it – flowers make us feel special! This was a beautiful birthday gift arrangement I received last month! All I can say is wow!
Well, Mother’s day is just one week away – and my mom knows that I often send her flowers. For that reason I was happy to chat with Andrea Ancel, Lead Floral Designer for FTD to see what is new this year. Plus I learned of their special deals!
