My Mommy's Mother's Day Flowers are just about wilting and ready to be thrown out. But I must say, it had a long and good life. For just $9.99 plus other greeneries from my front and backyard, I arranged my mom's mother's day gift. As someone with limited funds (yep, that's me), frugal fancies comes in handy. Ordering an arrangement of flowers are pretty, no lies. I love it when my boyfriend buys me a bouquet of Gerber daises! But if you want save over $50 of imported exotic rose arrangements, you can easily do it yourself, here's what i did...
DIY Flower bouquet: 1) Get a dozen of roses from your local farmer's market or grocery store
2) Focus on 2 colors, this will make your flowers stand-out (in my case, pink and green!) 3) From your yard, cut out a variety of long stems from different types of plants that can be arranged with your roses (I used extra bamboo plants I had lying around, and leafy things in my front yard)
4) Find a vase or anything that can hold your greenery (vase, pitcher, a large cup)
Couple weeks ago, I went with some of the girls, Connie and Kelly, to the Tea Festival hosted at Royal-T in Culver City. We met the Tea Architect himself, Robert Wemischner, at a workshop called, The Tea Architect: Cooking with Tea. This guy literally cooks with tea!
While I exchanged a few sentences with Robert, he asked,
"Do you have a blog?"
No.
No, I did not. I have always thought about having a blog. But I never thought about ever starting one and what would I write about that millions of other bloggers and foodies aren't already writing about. So I decided to do the hardest thing ever, to be myself. If you don't know me, then there are 2 things you should know about me:
1) I love sweets
2) I love designs
And this is what my blog will be all about.
So Robert Wemischner, thank you for your question, you have initiated my first entry everrrr.
