Carnations


Today's Beautiful Thing is a sweet little flower, the carnation. I bought a couple of bunches--large yellow and small, variegated peach--for a party almost three weeks ago. The big yellow ones lasted about 10 days, and I've been slowly thinning out the leftover peach ones from the vase on my kitchen table. Yes. I STILL have some! For the small price of $10, I got enough to fill 4 vases. When she commented on how pretty they were, I sent my mother in law home with half of them and kept the rest for myself. I've really enjoyed their sunny little faces all this time. I think I'll buy some more next time I go to the store, just because.
