A Fresh Home Accessory
Pike Place Market Sketch and Peonies |
What is a more beautiful home accessory than a fresh bouquet
of flowers?
One of my favorite flower variety is the peony and they
just so happen to be in season right now in the Pacific NW! Last weekend I walked down to the Pike Place Market in Seattle and picked up a very gorgeous mixed variety bouquet for under
$10 dollars. The assortment of fresh flowers
at the Pike Place Market will never cease to amaze me, no matter the season!
Last night on an evening walk with my dog I passed by a
Trader Joe’s and they had fresh bouquets of peonies for only $7 dollars. Depending on where you live, the peonies may
have already hit peak season but here in the Pacific NW they appear to be
widely available. You have my permission, indulge!
