A year of flowers

February 19, 2008

So what was the big birthday secret? Tim was making me 52 envelopes, each with a love note and a bit of cash to buy fresh flowers from our neighborhood flower stand every week this year. It was such a thoughtful and perfect gift for a girl turning 29.

How fantastic is this 1960′s-vintage San Francisco Viewmaster reel shot of a flower stand and lovely retro lady in red? I found via Olivander’s Flickr stream.

What a gem Tim is! You’re a lucky girl and he’s a lucky guy. I hope you had a fantastic day.
