I thought you would like to see the tiny beautiful things a florist gets to bring home at the end of the day.
A dozen eggs from a local grower. A dozen tulips hot off the presses.
And a beautiful little succulent container potted up by my co worker Betty.
How much did I love it?
I paid for it, that's how much.
Well I paid for the eggs too, $3.50, but the tulips were a grab and go.
Kind of a floral equivalent of a staff meal.
And just when I though I had gotten everything good out of the bag, I turned around and spied this treasure.
Value? Priceless.
Yes, way priceless. Nice haul!

DeleteAwww.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sorry I missed FITH, Jane. We had a heatwave.Think: oven at 400 F, open oven door and stand in front of it. Flowers? Pfft. Maybe next time...
I heard, you are forgiven. hope you are staying cool and hydrated. xo
DeletePriceless, and precious! That kitty loves the camera...
ReplyDeleteI know, she meowed to get my attention!
DeleteYou are as lucky girl.
ReplyDeletexoxo as are you always traveling between homes. jealous:-)
DeleteSo sweet... I can hear a purrrrrrrr! The succulents are sensational. I think I'll make a virtual pound cake with those awesome eggs! I am green with envy over the tulips! Smiles...Susan

DeleteBackyard chickens in Alexandria now?
ReplyDeleteNo waaaay out in the country, well, maybe an hour away.
DeleteBack yard chickens soon maybe with new Gov :-)
Lucy (Gus?) looks pretty perplexed. What's this blonde lady up to? Funny.
ReplyDeleteReally? I thought she was looking at me adoringly! See, better not to wear your glasses...
DeleteAwww... what a sweet face! That was a good day! Tell Betty I love her arrangement.
ReplyDeleteWell come in and see us and you can tell her yourself!
DeleteWill do. See you next week
DeleteBoth my cats love to jump into our grocery bags. The funniest thing was when I was at the market the clerk screamed after seeing a mouse in the bag....our cats left if in there and she thought it was real...just a furry toy. Never a dull moment when you have cats.
ReplyDeleteLove the tulips.
ReplyDeleteOoh, loving that little succulent pot - it's very alive and sexy, where sometimes succulents and cacti are rather dull and static. Have a good week. Abby x
ReplyDeleteGreetings to Tall Cat's twin in a bag.
ReplyDeleteOh, those eyes! Lucy is so lovely. As are the succulents, tulips, and yes, the eggs.
ReplyDeleteLove your grab and go. I just got tulips yesterday, but I had to pay for mine. Your kitty is priceless. What a cutie.
ReplyDeleteYour little succulent bowl looks so much like a shallow Caribbean reef that it took my breath away! A lovely little something to enjoy during this lousy part of the winter.
ReplyDeleteI love Lucy.
ReplyDeleteCan't see enough of my little girlfriend in a bag.
ReplyDeleteHas no one yet said (seriously?!?):
ReplyDelete"Don't let the cat out of the bag"?
Guess I just did. A sweet, everyday vignette, for which we all thank you.

I wish my job would send me home with kitties in the bag...well not really Max would be mad, but look at those eyes. Oh yeah, tulips are nice.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhh....I love succulents.....and kitties!
ReplyDeleteBought myself 18 tulips today....still tightly closed....waiting for the grand opening!
Lovely post♥️
Cheers!
