Guess What I Found!!!

I have had an obscene fascination with cut flowers. After calling around trying to find tulips I discovered most florist shops charge anywhere from $4 to $6 for each stem.... Yikes!!!
Don't they know I just purchased a house. I can't be splurging on flowers that cost the much. Heck the power company just decided to increase their rates. I'm poor dontcha know.....

Well  I guess you are wondering where I am going with this right. I went to Winn Dixie, a local grocery store chain, today to return my redbox rental and a sign caught my eye. They were selling bouquets of roses for 9.99. Now this isn't uncommon in most grocery stores and in some drug stores locally, but this reminded me that Winn Dixie actually has a florist section. Now I went right before closing so there wasn't anyone actually in this area but there were bins and buckets of grab and go flowers located on the counter and floor.

I was in Flower Heaven.

 So I approached the bin on the counter to get a better look at the bundles and instantly fell in love with several of the bouquets.

These beautiful flowers were $2.00 a bundle.... can you believe that!!!!! Only 2 bucks!

But I really wanted some yellow flowers and I got a bundle for $1.00!  Yes... Just a measly buck! Take that expensive florist!

Will edit later with the pictures from my diningroom. Right now blogger wont let me upload them... boo

Paying the Piper

Ok who said that Family isn't the greatest. I think I might have mentioned that my Aunt the amazing seamstress has been working on all of the sewing projects in my house. This includes the curtains, the upholstery on the living room chairs and anything else that I can think up and imagine. And so far everything has been great.

There is only one dark cloud to this story. Of course my aunt was making all these amazing items for free for me. So in exchange I promised to whip up some business cards and take some photos on all the different projects and create a portfolio for her prospective clients to flip through.

Enter the side-eye.... OK so I hadn't started on any of these projects and she has almost completed all of mine. I am officially the worst niece ever. So tonight I came in from work... "cough" took a nap... and then set out to make the greatest business cards ever.
So I can say mission " Business Cards" is now complete and I need to work on mission Portfolio but there is less of a rush for this one because I haven't finished painting the frames for my sofa because the weather has been really intermittent here and I am kinda afraid of dragging the chair outside and it getting caught in a random drive by shower. But I saw an awesome blog post today that has me itching to do some indoor spray painting. I think I'm going to tent off my den and turn it into a temp painting studio so I can get this one last chair out of the way.

Ok so I am definitely sitting in the better niece category I just need to deliver the cards so the rest of the world knows this to.
