Small field bouquet, spring

We found this bouquet thinking it would solve our spring decorating crisis, the way we imagine other people buy lottery tickets. It didn't, but not because of the bouquet itself. The bouquet is lovely: twelve inches of soft pastels that somehow survived being dried without looking like something found in a Victorian attic.

It's handcrafted, grown right here in the USA, which means we can feel virtuous about supporting domestic agriculture while arranging flowers. The dimensions are practical: six inches wide, and it fits snugly into a vase that's four to six inches tall with a two-inch opening. This is the kind of specificity we appreciate in a product description, the way some people appreciate a well-organized closet. It means you won't end up with a bouquet that towers over your vase like an awkward houseguest who doesn't know when to leave.

What strikes us most is that these are naturally dried flowers, which means they'll last longer than our attention span, longer than most of our relationships, possibly longer than our interest in spring itself. Perfect for Mother's Day, Easter, or whenever you need to give someone a gift that says, "We thought of you, and we also thought about logistics."
