Flowers are here!
Fresh flowers make everything just a little bit better and a whole lot brighter.
One of the grand dames of cooking said that having fresh flowers in a vase makes every dinner party 50% more enjoyable and delicious. I don't know which dame that was, Julia, Ina or Martha (it definitely wasn't Giada - she frightens me)... but I agree. Even a simple arrangement in a chipped mason jar is an un-extravagant moment of whimsy. A wink of joy.
