Make the French Connection this Bastille Day with 3 Fabulous Flowers
July 3, 2014
While the well-coiffed Marie Antoinette was telling the starving peasants of France to eat cake if they had no bread, the French populace was reeling from two spendy wars and several years of bad harvests.

Why a Dozen Red Roses May Be Exactly the Wrong Thing to Give a Lady
February 12, 2010
There is hardly any worse feeling you can get in life than to have high expectations that your gift is going to be fawned over (or better yet that YOU will be for giving it) and then to be humiliated by finding out that you gave the exact wrong gift; worse yet that your gift offended a room full of people.
