Last Saturday I sat down and put together the flower list for this week. In the build up to Christmas, it felt that the shop had exploded with nothing but red amaryllis, red roses and red berries and anything that stood still long enough got glittered.
An overwhelming feeling, actually a desperate need, overcame me for a quiet purity; for a new beginning. I wanted to feel intoxicated by the flowers' fresh fragrance and the largeness of the blooms. I needed to see their complex texture or the simplicity of their form.
Today the flowers arrived; the fridge is full, the shop has been freshly painted and I have said good bye to 2013 and closed all those half opened doors. In doing so already it feels like a hundred more doors have opened. The New Year has begun and with it comes a year of fresh starts and a plethora of possibilities. May 2014 be everything you hope for. For me, just the thought of it is good enough. It is the stuff that dreams are made of...
