Beautiful Flowers

There are one of two reasons why I find myself with beautiful flowers.

The first reason, guilt...as was the case when my handsome husband and I reupholstered a $3.99 Goodwill chair together.


The second reason...a special occasion, like our anniversary, which I ironically displayed in a Goodwill vase.


Often times, if I've been given flowers for the latter reason, it is also accompanied by a celebration that looks something like this.


Believe it or not, all these details are thought of and executed by my husband, who I assure you is not scouring pinterest for his inspiration.


Like using the top of the pineapple as the center of the fruit plate.


Some Tiki men also joined our celebration (souvenirs left in our tropical hut for our honeymoon). 


No detail was spared.


While this was definitely an occasion we could have celebrated with champagne floats, we opted to toast with some pineapple coconut juice instead.


And, though 7 years ago, this little miss was not part of our big day...


Our celebration would not be complete without her.

    Your husband certainly out did himself! He is very creative and thoughtful. I hope it was sunny for you yesterday. :)

    I think that setup would rival many out there on pinterest. He should be proud. :)

    Wow that's impressive! This is not the first time your husband has impressed... but this is definitely up there. Are you sure he wasn't sneaking in some pinterest while you weren't around ;)

    Very nice! And I am with Danni, I am showing this to my husband. Or at least bragging about your husband to him. I just started following your blog after finding it on Danni's. Loving it.
    Also the last picture of little miss reminds me of our anniversary celebrations these days with twin boys in tow. Happy Tuesday.

    Men everywhere are going to have a bone to pick with your hubby! What a thoughtful guy. I am going to pin that pineapple top idea for the less (naturally) creative husbands among us.

    Also, do you buy that pineapple coconut juice or do you make it? That is right up my girls' alley...

    Wowza! I would be absolutely floored if I saw that waiting for me in my kitchen.

    I also want some of that pineapple coconut juice. It sounds heavenly.

    (Your hubs is a sweetheart for bringing a bit of your honeymoon back to you...)

    Hi Amy,
    Oh, that goodwill chair gets me everytime!
    Does your hubby ever ask you "Is this gonna be on the blog?"
    Heehee. Thanks for sharing, your family is so gorgeous! Di
