I went shopping with my mom at the wholesale florist this week. This is just a typical day in the life of a flower shop owner. It brought me back to my childhood…we took many trips into those cold refrigerators while both of my parents picked through the bundles of beautiful flowers finding the perfect ones for orders. I now understand where my attention to detail must come from… The colors and varieties are any flower lovers dream… In the flower business you have to be picky with what you buy as they are all very perishable…I love these exotic ones… When I was little I spent many hours in the flower shop making my own arrangements with the “throwaway” flowers. On a day to day basis my mom and I are very different yet in moments like these I am reminded how much we are alike. I may never go into the flower business but I definitely inherited a love for beauty and creativity. They also have a crafting section…go ahead and drool you crafters!Every size and shape you could need…now you know where I get all my stuff from… This is her thing…I have seen some really cute stuff with these birthday inspired plastic pieces…just you wait! It was a fun morning and I could appreciate the experience so much more as a crafty adult than as an impatient child… I could have taken it all home…How have your parents inspired your passions?
