Theme Thursday: Scents



HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

We have a lovely florist in Jackson, NH, Dutch Bloemen Winkel.  Her work is extraordinary.  She's as creative as the cutting edge florists whose online work I've viewed.  Her flowers come, primarily, from Holland and the Boston Flower Market where she travels each week to bring back the best.

The photo above is of a centerpiece she created and it makes me think of the beautiful scent of a rose.  I have had roses in every garden of every house in which I have lived until we moved to New Hampshire.  Their growing span here is limited and rose tending is intense.  However,  if the yellow rose survives, given to me last Spring by my friends in Bermuda, I will plant it outside.  It's fragrance was wonderful as was the delicate yellow bruised with an orange smear.  

Roses have a scent all their own and I miss them.  Keeping my fingers crossed I will again have a rose bush in my garden.

Cupcakes, Valentines and Commerce

I'm hoping to sign a new client and I'm very excited.  Why?  Look at the product!

 

I went in to get a cupcake.  We started talking.   I was in sweats, headed to the gym.  They sold me a lemon curd topped lemon cake cupcake.  I started eating.  I gave them my card.  I sell local television advertising.  They thought it was funny I was eating a cupcake before  hitting the gym.  Next thing you know, we are talking air time and visuals for their brand new business.  

I ordered their Valentine's Day special:



I'm going to surprise my husband, son & MIL with these.

They make cakes too.  This is a little dog on a John Deere tractor.  


 

And a very cool spider cake.



I wonder who will end up spending the most money with whom?
