warfelhouse: sweet and simple

The other day Josh brought me home some pretty and pretty surprising flowers from the grocery store. The kicker is they were a budget friendly sort of surprise, which for a young and newly married couple who decided to move back into their parents' house for the sake of saving some money and living like no one, so we can one day live like no one (more on that one day) is a plus plus. SCORE! And I got them for no reason at all- just because- happy day flowers! :)

The surprising part about the flowers in particular is that I have never been much of a sunflower kinda gall. I'm more of a danty, simple, chic, sweet flower kinda girl- if you couldn't tell, I know what I like and I like me some tulips ;)- but once I got them cut down and plopped into my OJ glass jar they didn't seem so big, bold, loud, and yellow- never judge a book... or flower!

Here's how I cut them. Pretty simple and I'm sure you've seen or heard to cut the stems at an angle- at least that's what we've heard is proper/best. : / ?

Here's how I 'configured' how much to cut off. Rocket science, I know! Actually, I did this with a few of the stems, then I just guesstimated/eyeballed/cut without thinking. Then, because all of my vases were packed tightly in our storage unit, I used what we had, which happened to be a glass jar for juice.
