Flowers of the Week: So Fresh, So Clean

I love having fresh, in season flowers around the house. They help illustrate the season in a fresh and clean way. I used mine this week to help add some ambiance to my Easter and Spring Decor.


I was so excited when last week Lynn from Beautiful Things and EHayes from Strawberry Swing and other Things both posted flowers of the week and gave me a shutout as the inspiration!! I was so happy to see to see the flower love around the blog world. I really enjoyed seeing your flowers ladies!!

    Can you share some tips on how to extend the life of your fresh cut flowers?? Do you change the water daily, every other, weekly, etc? How often do you re-snip the stems? Share you tips plleeeaaaze!

  2. LOL tips? I am no flower expert I probably should learn more about how to care for flowers

    I usually just let the flowers roll for the week. I buy new ones every Sunday, or every Saturday when it is Farmers market season(only a few weeks away!). If the flowers last the week and still seem alive I will try to extend their life.But Really I just buy the flowers throw them in a vase and enjoy them while they last. I should really review my Martha mags for some tips

  3. whew! good to know I'm not alone haha!

    I also just throw them in a vase and watch them slowly wilt and die haha... I try to change the water, but I don't know if I'm doing it too much, not enough, too cold, too luke warm, am I talking too much, are they talking enough, am I interested I'm not really interested, should I play like I'm interested but I'm not that interested but I think she might be interested but do I want to be interested but now she's not interested?

  6. Pretty! I love buying flowers to brighten up the house in spring. And I do the same thing, they just live in the vase until they're all wilty and unattractive. Then on to new ones.

  10. Who doesn't love fresh flowers? I mean no one can be furious while looking at them. I was actually looking at Vases and jars to buy so I could start to buy flowers!
