WW: Dahlia Flower in Valentine's Day Bouquet

Purple Dahlia Flower Picture

"What this old world needs is more bouquets handed around to folks when they are alive and kicking. Flowers don't do a dead one much good."
- Poems And Paragraphs by Robert Elliott Gonzales

You may have noticed I was quite quiet the first week of February. Ogre and I were celebrating my birthday in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. After splurging on vacation, I wasn't expecting much for Valentine's Day. But he surprised me with a Kit Kat heart box and a beautiful bouquet of spring flowers. My favorites were the pale purple dahlias.

    I always wanted to plant dahlias, but the rabbits and other little creatures of the night just love to eat them.

Giveaway: Clear Quartz Dagger Earrings by WireQueen

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 108th commenter, Andalene! Accessorize an outfit and rejuvenate your spirit at the same time! Michelle of WireQueen is bequeathing a beautiful pair of clear quartz earrings to one of my readers. The design is named "Midwife Healer" in honor of the midwife that delivered her second daughter.

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Eugenie Wu for submitting the randomly-chosen 799th entry. Rica Jewels will email you within 24 hours with instructions on how to claim your prize. The winds of March are making me wonder why I haven't learned to properly braid my hair yet.

Daniela of Rica Jewels offers a much more intricate braided bracelet called the Kusma Bracelet. The mixed metal bracelet is made with silver, bronze and copper. The beautiful bracelet is 7" long and 0.4" width and can be bent gently on the edges to better fit the winner's wrist. Yes, you read that right.
