- This bouquet of flowers arranged in a canning jar - an impulse buy at Whole
Paycheck Foods. It made a nice splash of color on my table when the book group ladies came over, as well as benefiting the Whole Kids Foundation, which promotes healthy nutrition in schools. I like that they promote school gardens, too.
- Walking into a client's office, at a large non-profit organization, and loving that she has a candle burning. "It's for ambiance," she says. The scent of vanilla followed me all the way down the hall. Lovely.

I love candles. And book clubs!
Canning jars are the prettiest, unassuming way to display flowers. I would have bought them too : )
Seeing those flowers in my apartment would make me happy as well!
Whole "Paycheck" Foods. lol Surely the flowers were worth the cost.
Wish we had a book club around here. Maybe I should start one. However not many share my taste in literature.
Patriot's Day honored. Always a good thing.
another lol on the WF paycheck. Yet, we Austinites like to boast that WF started right here. There's an IPO I missed out on! :) I remember over 20 years ago shopping with Jim at the original little store on Lamar St. goodness. It's now a tattoo parlor. (No, not really.) :)
Canning jars are THE BEST!!
And will you now keep a lighted candle on YOUR desk?? I'm still looking for a bayberry one the EXACT scent of the one we had at home as kids. :) :)

The beauty of flowers is what is important...they are what we are drawn to...perfection.
Lest We Forget....
I know I won't...
Flowers brighten and bless anywhere (and everywhere) they are found. And a vanilla candle is a win too.

Me, too. Me, too!

I like it that I'll have this near cut out lidded jar for flowers now.
Joanne -
Is there a Whole Foods in NYC? I wonder if they have those arrangements there?
Granny Annie -
I sink so much money into Whole Foods. It's a great place to get a healthy takeout meal - I end up spending too much money every time.
Is there a library nearby? Sometimes they have book clubs there.
Yes - I wanted to honor the day in some way.
Jannie -
There's no relaxation where I work - I think the candles are best burned at home for me. :)

Lee -
I think so, too. And yes - we remember.

Flowers are a blessing! I love them.
Vanilla is very calming. Unlike chocolate candles, which I have had and which make me suddenly crave dessert!
Thank you for the remembrance.
The flowers are so pretty! n a good decoration plus cause. I use alot of jars for my deck flowers here- They wilt quickly, but are wonderful to see on my table. I have many colors of Petunias, orage-red Marigolds, Purple Mint, n Lavender blossoms now.
I light candles for prayer time usually. Still have an unused apple-spice one to use this fall.
Remember the souls lost on 911 Amen.
The Flowers are so very lovely....! And Vanilla....A Yummy smell if ever there was one....!
Riot Kitty -
That must be why I like it. :) A chocolate candle - that sounds nice, too.
Snaggle -
Your flowers are so beautiful on your table, I'll bet. Nice that you can grow so well in pots.
Naomi -
Yummy indeed!
Hi Lynn - love the flowers ... and they are so bright and cheerful ...
The ambience of the candle must be such a great idea ... and then the WF supporting others ..
Remembering all those who suffer .. cheers Hilary
I have gotten out of the habit of impulse-buying flowers at the grocery store. I'm going to revive that one when the cold weather creeps back to Toronto.
I love flowers in a Mason jar!
I've often wondered why candles are so popular with ladies? Whenever I see one alight I have the urge to set something on fire! :D
I love most scented candles, and that flag is very nice as well.
The flowers just make me smile. Lovely!
first off, yay for the flag!
i love your flowers and your jar.
flowers always make me happy.
big hugs~
We used to put flowers in jars when I was kid. It's kind of nice to see the being recycled, even at Whole Foods' cost.
I often light candles in the house. I like walking into a room and having smell nice. Vanilla is my favorite:~)
