Les fleurs

I walked into work today to find a new floral arrangement on the front counter. The shades of pink gerber daisies were so happy, tucked amongst traditional white daisies, along with some other delicate flowers whose names I did not know. On these frigid winter days in Chicago, nothing can brighten a day like some amazing flowers! We are so fortunate to have a locally owned flower shop just a few doors away. However, "flower shop" hardly does it justice. Marguerite Gardens http://www.margueritegardens.com/ on the North side of Chicago, is an amazing sensory experience. Obviously, it smells incredible. The well-curated gift items displayed on vintage furnishings with historical patinas...well it speaks to all of my senses on so many levels. If you're in the neighborhood, you should visit them. I am always in awe of the wide array of exotic plants and flowers they have gathered.
