Just wanted to share.
I am NOT artistic, however I'm very proud of today's flower arranging attempt.
Guest wanted flowers in the room (told me last night), but not roses. Preferred something more natural. I got some of the mini carnations in a very light greenish tint and some stunning long-stem irises. Put them in a vase and then went "shopping" in the backyard. Added sprays of pine branches (not in the water) and about 10 pine cones. The pine branches added fabulous texture and the cones helped spread out the flower stems and really added to the whole arrangement - romantic yet seasonal (I hope)
Now I have to go and make some choc chip cookies. Another guest told me that the only thing her husband has ever remembered from other B&Bs was the warm choc chip cookies that were on the room on arrival at a B&B long, long ago and could I possibly, would I mind, could I please, if it wasn't too much trouble do the same thing.
