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!
Sensible Summer Reading
Don't forget to pack your sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat and an ice cold drink!
