Beauty and Attraction

who could ever tire of roses? i try to buy fresh flowers once a week and keep bouquets next to photos of my grandparents who have passed. i miss them all.

i recently read an article by rebecca purcell in WHERE WOMEN CREATE and she provided a tip for honing in on our aesthetic skills... as collectors we are to pick an object that we love and ponder why it attracts us, paying particular attention to its physical an psycological draw. as a result we would learn more about ourselves and why we love what we love.

this particular arrangement reminds me of the short story "the necklace" by guy de maupassant.
