On my birthday in December of 1996 I received my first bouquet of roses. That day there were six 
pink sweetheart roses, mixed with baby’s breath, tied with a pink ribbon, put in a glass vase, and delivered to my door. The card said To You, From Me; and I knew right away who it was from.
It was a happy day! That bouquet selfishly stayed in my room until the petals fell from the stems. Even then I saved some of the petals. They now reside in a glass jar in my living room.
That’s my show and tell for this week. Click the Show & Tell graphic for more participants.
The guy who sent them to me? He’s my husband of nine and a half years.
P.S. You can see a small picture of the bouquet in this post.

How awesome is that?!! I love it. I pressed one of my first roses given to me by my hubby….before we were married.
What a great way to keep your special gift.

How romantic! I love it.
awww how sweet.
I saved all the pedals from the flowers my dh gave me while we were courting. At my wedding my flower girls threw them down the aisle!
Such a wonderful way to preserve a memory of such a happy day:-) Beautiful!
What a great way to save them. I just always put mine in the freezer and then they would somehow disappear.
How neat to still have those. That is so special.
That’s a great way to preserve special flowers!

That is so sweet that you did that! When my husband and I were dating, he used to send me long stem roses. I SO wish I would have saved them like you did. That is so romantic.
Awwww! I wish I’d have thought to save some rose petals like that.
