i always love a good find

i always love a good find. especially, as i've mentioned in a previous blog, good finds that get put in my home. i'm going to brag about this particular find that is on its way to my home, via ups, as i sit here at work! i cannot wait till these precious flowers arrive on my doorstep. my very first time to see these flowers was in a display at anthropologie. had they been on sale in the store, i know for certain, i would've purchased them. but like all the rest of their displays, sadly, none of them can be bought (as i've wished they could be on more than one occasion). after passing by the cute little yellow buds i never paid them much thought, until i discovered this website just the other day: Nettleton Hollow, and to my amazement, there they were right on the home page! even more delightful was the pricetag on these beauties: only $16.50 for 20-30 stems. alas, what a delightful discovery! craspedia: what an odd name for a flower. and what endless possibilities they can be used for when it comes to decorating with them! from home decor to wedding table arrangement even to boutonnieres! i was able to learn not only what these flowers were called, but interesting information like what other flowers they relate to as well as where they originated. if you find yourself as excited by these as i am, i will not spoil all the fun of the website here on my blog, so i suggest you scurry over to Nettleton Hollow's website. there you'll not only get the opportunity to purchase the craspedia, you'll also find even more unique and fun finds!
