flowers for friday

its friday! im off to the floral studio this morning after a nice long break, not much going on in the way of design in the dead of winter but the madness is about to start all over again and im looking forward to the upcoming season of brides and bouquets - 

im getting back into the swing of things here too. cataloguing, washing and organizing all the treasures ive brought back with me after my trip. I can not wait to get them all in the shop. 

 i've added a few yellow tulips to the 3 bunches of daffodils just for some textural contrast. i hope everyone will have a lovely weekend and pick-up some daffodils. they bring such happy thoughts of spring.
