We host Easter every year with our cousins. A few years ago we ditched the turkey and ham and started theme dinners, by country. This year it was France🇫🇷 Everyone brings something to contribute to the dinner. As with past years, it was a feast. In addition to cooking , I enjoy preparing small flower arrangements to give away and to place around the house. After all the cleaning, cooking prep and cooking is done, I “reward” myself with communing with flowers. I save this to the last as it relaxes me and gets me in the entertaining mood. This year time ran away from me and I was hastily throwing flowers into vases at the last minute. Having great product from Mandi (anemone, gunni eucalyptus, solidago, waxflower), big box store tulips (Costco) and trimming my indoor potted hellebores (Pink Frost variety) makes it easy to create sweet little gatherings of spring promise. Having a selection of vases to display them in is a bonus. Full disclosure-my husband says I have a vase addiction. I don’t dispute him😜 Enjoy these pics of some of my stress busting arrangements photographed in my art/craft room and in its place.

For all our gardener friends, what are you planting?
