All the Lovely Stuffs are put to use around here for the most pedestrian of occasions, for what is the point of having them? Flower arranging, on the other hand, I am only filled with envy.

Ditto polished silver ware and good quality glassware. And I always add long stemmed flowers like daisies. <br /><br />But imagine one section of the jacaranda.
