A Flower Market Birthday

So my birthday was a few days ago and for several years now, at a loss for what to get me (I have everything I could ever want) my adorable husband  takes me to the San Francisco Flower Market.

I go crazy buying flowers and he patiently pays for everything and follows me along holding my purchases.  We then go out to breakfast and once home, I happily arrange my flowers and place vases throughout the house.

The best birthday gift ever.

A treat for the eyes and the nose.

Promise me, you’ll click the photos to see the floral display in its full glory.

 

 

 

 

 

I wander from nursery stall to stall …the place is huge, nonetheless stalwart husband carries my spoils.

 

 

 

 

 

Such choices – such temptation…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There’s a floral supply stall with amazing ribbon choices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But, in the end, I have three lovely bouquets at home.  Tulips are not yet opened – but had to show you anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So here’s a question – what luxuries would you give yourself if you were very wealthy?

For me it would be fresh flowers in the house year round…and I’m lucky because with my garden, I am able to have them most all of spring and summer.

And while we’re fantasizing about luxuries –  I would also require fresh towels and sheets every day.*

Maybe I belong in a hotel?

 * Of course, not with our current drought – fantasy only.
