How very generous of your flower shop to leave flowers they can't sell outside for people to take.

I do occasionally get fresias, daffs, carnations, tulips and sweet williams from the market when the season permits. It always makes the house feel that much homelier to have a vase here and there :)<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Tash from vintagepretty.orgVintagePrettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17417348122069803064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-9487433245894594952013-10-30T09:55:12.490+00:002013-10-30T09:55:12.490+00:00I think chrysanthemums and dahlias are traditional...I think chrysanthemums and dahlias are traditional allotment flowers.
