I love buying fresh flowers for our house! This yellow "vase" is called a Gurgle Pot...it looks like a fish and it makes gurgling sounds as water is poured from it. There's a deeper explanation about the history of it but the gist is, IT MAKES ME SMILE!

Growing up, my dad would frequently walk in the door after a long day at work with three bouquets of flowers...one for each of his girls. I think my mom's bouquet was bigger but my sister and I each had our own bouquet to place in our bedroom. A simple gesture made us feel so special! When I buy flowers now, I often get that giddy little girl feeling again.  Thank you Dad!

We visited friends this weekend who recently moved into their new house. After the first day taking in all the details, I couldn't sit back any longer before I started rearranging their accessories (it's a good thing they appreciate my compulsive decorating behavior).
