Amber's {flower} Notebook

Receiving flowers as a gift is always something I appreciate. When I was younger I remember giving flowers and at the time I thought of it like a gift card, if you can't think of anything else to give someone, give them flowers. I suppose at the time I didn't appreciate fresh flowers, now I love to give and receive flowers. When I give flowers I love to pick out blooms and colors especially for the recipient and I often opt to give flowers to people I know don't often treat themselves to fresh beauties.
When I receive flowers it's always special because it's usually a bouquet I wont pick for myself, and it's often more extravagant then I would indugle in for myself. Sometimes I am gifted a flower that I have never seen at my market or Trader Joes ,which always excites me. Flowers and nature are meant to admired, cherished and respected, and I feel like fresh flowers remind me of this, so I love sharing and enjoying those feelings with others.
These gorgeous irises were given to me by Step Mom Rena and my Dad -- thank you!

  2. Always is the perfect moment to receive flowers! I wish I could have someone right now to give them to me! In my city it's a tradition the 23rd of april to send red roses to the girls and books to the boys, the day is called "Sant Jordi", and I love it! The streets are full of flowers shops to buy roses and you see lots of girls walking by with roses on their hands... so beautiful! :)

  5. Amber-these are beautiful and I love buying flowers anytime...but usually on Fridays so I have them for the weekend and then if I am lucky they will last the week. Right now I am slightly obsessed with tulips but these irises are gorgeous.
