Because it is this time of year again, I would like to republish a post that I wrote last year on my “old” blog:

Our girls love to pick flowers at the moment. Almost every single day I receive a lovely bunch of hand-picked flowers. But somehow the stems are always too short and I can hardly put the flowers in a vase. Apart from that, the flowers seem to live only for a few hours if I put them in a normal vase. To make sure that we can enjoy the sight of the field flowers for a little bit anyway, we let them swim now. In small glasses (from IKEA – I usually use them to put candles in). Very simple – and it looks really pretty. You can arrange them as you wish. And life expectancy of the flowers doubles.
