23 bucks

$23 for all this...it really is all about the sweet simple pleasures

tulips , hyacinths and the green yellowish flowers not sure what they are called do you know?

flowers always make me smile.
i always buy them for myself weekly, it is so nice to come home to fresh flowers
every day is a gift so why not celebrate with flowers
