An Owl Vase of Daisies by Marilyn

In case you didn't already know, I may have a small obsession with flowers. I haven't always been this passionate about them, but with age I've really developed this need to have live flowers in our home. It really livens up the place when they are sitting so cheerfully in the middle of your living room. I love all kinds of flowers, but we tend to buy daisies because they live for a long time if you care for them properly. We recently acquired this fun owl vase as well, which ends up being perfect for daisies. I am really enjoying playing around with different looks and uses for our new owl. I managed to snap a few photographs of some bouquets Kaleb brought home for me this weekend. Notice that we are using our new tree slices to set our vases on!

    I way under-value fresh flowers. I always think of them as being too expensive to be practical and then I see pictures like this and how much charm they add...

    Don't you think daisies are the friendliest flower? (You've Got Mail. Eh? Anybody?)

    I love live flowers, too! With it being spring, there's nothing better than seeing all the colorful flowers popping up everywhere. That owl vase is adorable, and I like how you set each of the vases on the tree slices. Very cool!

    Thanks for the thoughtful comment! ...which brought me to your awesome blog. Love finding great reads. I can't get over the owl vase, by the way; I have a (slight) obsession with owl figurines. I've also been into buying and displaying flowers and greenery. Really brightens up the place! Cheers!
