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.

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!

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 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.
