This story begins with this photo taken by me to show you my DIY malachite boxes. Recently, Jenny from LGN, borrowed the photo for a malachite DIY roundup she was doing. That same day I receive a comment from a very sweet lady, Carolyn, telling me that these flowers are from her family's faux floral company called Diane James Home, a company which her mother started and is now run by herself and her twin sister. She told me exactly where and when these flowers were bought- twelve years ago at Bergdorf's. Yes! Exactly I said! They had been a gift from my mom for Valentine's day way back. I was so excited about this email because a) these flowers have a special place in my heart b) my mom is also a fan and has several of these arrangements c) I just love coincidences. So, I emailed Carolyn, right away to tell her I could not believe she recognized the arrangement and to share with her my excitement.
