Everyone seems to be obsessed with peonies. And don’t get me wrong – I can’t say I don’t love them. They’re beautiful! But, for the most part, hydrangeas are the ones that really have my heart. The blue ones are my favorites, but sometimes I just love the all white hydrangeas.

Yesterday, while shopping at Trader Joe’s, I snagged a bouquet of three stems for $5.99. I think they’re usually a dollar or so cheaper there, but what I paid still beats the other grocery stores around here. When I got home, I took two and cut them [a bit shorter than I had intended] for the coffee table. I had left the last stem on the longer side so I put it a small tube vase from the dollar store and placed it on the end of the dresser in our bedroom.

I’ll admit, I don’t keep fresh flowers around the house that often. For no reason in particular. But I love having them around, especially in our bedroom. This is definitely something I’m going to have to keep up with!

What about you – are you a peony person or do you favor the hydrangea? Do you keep fresh flowers around all the time or just once in a while?
