Can't Live Without It


I can't believe it's Friday - this week seriously flew by for me!  I hope you all had a good one.  This weekend should be a low key but fun one - which is perfect in my book!

I'm switching it up today and and linking up with Caitlyn, Laura and Stephanie and sharing what I can't live without. 


There are many things that I love and can't live without (i.e. wine) but one of my other most favorite things is fresh flowers.  I always try having them at home.  I think they make the house feel more  warm and inviting - plus they're easy on the eyes!  I haven't always been a fan of having them at home, but the last couple of years, I consider them a staple.  I don't typically spend a lot of money on them either; I usually grab some of the more inexpensive bunches at our grocery store or Trader Joes - there's no need to spend tons on them, I just love the way they look at home and they instantly make me happy!



What is a staple you can't live without?  Do you love fresh flowers as much as I do?


Have a great weekend!  See you next week!

Fresh flowers are such a necessity and perfect indulgence at the same time! They are great at any price, and can totally brighten up or change a room! Of course we both need these ;)

I'm totally with you! I will drive totally out of the way to go to TJ's or Whole Foods for flowers! Those sunflowers are gorgeous. Have a great weekend and thanks for linking up! :)

I love fresh flowers in the house. I don't get them enough, but when I do, it always makes things just a little bit brighter in the room!

Kristen @ See You In A Porridge said...

i love the way fresh flowers look and how they brighten up a room - but i just can't bring myself to buy them, i don't know why! if i have them, i love them, i just don't buy them. i'm a bit odd i guess ;) have a great weekend!

Fresh flowers are my favorite. I buy them almost every week to brighten the room! Love that we have ANOTHER thing in common.

Caroline @ Windy City Chic said...

Yes!!!!! Fresh flowers are an absolute must have!!!

Brittany@TheLadyLawyer said...

Fresh flowers instantly brighten a room! I agree they are a nice necessity!

Claire | Fashion + Feathers said...

fresh flowers just make things happier, don't they? I tend to only buy them when there's an event at my house but I often walk by them in the grocery store longing to buy them just to have on hand. I should start doing that more! Happy Friday!

Fresh flowers are the best... especially summer ones!

Kelli @ A Deeper Joy said...

I really need to be better about keeping fresh flowers around. I rarely buy them! Yours are so pretty!

Katie Elizabeth said...

Totally agree with you! It's amazing how much just a bouquet of flowers can brighten up a room. Happy Friday!

Elise @ Her Heart and Home said...

Love it. I want to be better about having fresh flowers around. :)

Totally agree with you! My girlfriend and I have a Sunday tradition where we go to the farmers market and Target. We always make sure to swoop up a fresh bouquet!

Christina Lea Loves said...

Haha totally with you on the wine! I am loving fresh flowers recently - I really want to do a better job at having them out more often!

This is the best (and cheapest!) way to prettify a space and make yourself smile. Love fresh flowers. Happy weekend, lady!

So glad to see you here Amanda at this party. Of course I see all your pretty flower on instagram. Everytime I'm in Trader Joe's I will think of you when I pass the flower section. I like them to in the house and I have a special vase, special place on my bar where I place them. A little special something for us, right!

Courtney said...

I definitely agree! I'm all about the $5 bunch at Walmart :)

Elizabeth [Chasin' Mason] said...

I'm loving that vase!! Where did you get it?!

Trader Joe's is definitely my #1 spot for fresh flowers...their prices and selection just can't be beat!

I can only see part of that chair of yours in the first photo, but I can tell you that I love love love it ;) I'm with you, I love fresh flowers in the house, especially around spring time

Stephanie | Olive and Tate | said...

this is going to sound crazy but when I was living in Maine I missed fresh flowers in my house so, so much. We didn't have a Trader Joes and were so far north that flowers at the grocery store were crazy expensive. Not having fresh flowers just added to my Winter Blues! Now there are flesh flowers all over my apartment and I can't wait to fill our new house with them. Thanks so much for linking up! xoxo

YES, for fresh flowers... makes all the difference!
