Right now I am having a major floral moment...and it has nothing to do with clothes. Literally I am loving flowers. In my opinion the most affordable and convenient flowers are sold at Trader Joe's. For $15 or less you can get a mixed bouquet that is both colorful and stylish.
Right now my favorite flower is the ranunculus. I was able to score a few bunches at TJ's for $5.99 each. My Mom told me they are only available this time of year so I better get my fix now...and I have been. I bought them in pink, white and this weekend in orange. In fact when speaking of my Make-Up Jackpot, unbeknownst to me, the flower I was envisioning was a pink ranunculus.
Being in this floral mode has brought two things to my attention. First, I stink at floral arranging and need to get some serious guidance. Second, I have a need for different kinds of vases for different types of flowers. The vases in my collection are either too small or too big.

$16.99 at Cost Plus World Market To Buy
I love this modern yet sort of shabby chic white ceramic vase from Cost Plus World Market. I am also definitely feeling orange flowers (it must be all this coral discussion) so when my ranunculus are gone, perhaps I will switch to tulips.
I am sure this floral fixation will pass, but in the meantime, every time I catch a glimpse of my fresh flowers on the mantle or table, despite my best efforts, I feel a little cheery,
