Being Good to You

Alexandra Stoddard, interior designer and author, has written many wonderful books.


I have most of them, purchased primarily second hand, in my home library.

She has a nice website, too!

  In one of her books, she highly recommended always having living flowers in one's house.


I loved that idea and have tried to follow through.
The flowers shown in today's post were a gift to me......from me!  Ha!  

There was a time in my life when I would never contemplate buying myself a present but, thankfully, that time has passed.

Thanks, Alexandra!

Stargazer lilies and roses make a stunning combination and are so fragrant, too.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU BOUGHT SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF?
