Made My Day

A friend came by with these beautiful flowers recently, made my day! There was an event at her office and the arrangements were being thrown out after, great saves!

Several days later the hydrangeas and some of the roses started to wilt, so I cut back and re-worked the remaining flowers to create this new arrangement!  Carnations always last the longest.

Wonderful idea, those flowers were too precious to throw away, and have brought you joy. Hugs, Valerie

I'm so glad you were able to enjoy the flowers even longer. You did such a beautiful job with them.

Such a nice friend to think of you. Miss 21 bought some flowers at the weekend for her friend. They're still in water at our house. I think the friend has had a picture of them:)

That was a wonderful idea that your friend had to share the beauty of those lovely flowers.
I also keep rearranging flowers that I receive to enjoy them for as long as I can...I also dry some of them.
Lovely photos...you did a great job~

what a nice friend you have. I haven't had flowers given to me in awhile. I remember one time one of my sons gave me roses so I sketched it out and painted it so they would last a long time at least in my mind.
