Friday flowers from the Venice Farmers Market, $6 for the bouquet plus $3 for extra eucalyptus
If having fresh flowers each week cost me more than $10, I don’t know if I would be so agreeable to it. But since finding this vendor at the Venice Farmers’ Market who sells these incredible, long-lasting bouquets for just $6, I’ll make a trip over there on Friday mornings even if I don’t need any produce (I like the Mar Vista market for food because they have a wider selection and better prices – and often better attitudes – than the Venice market, but all their flowers are prohibitively expensive). I generally steer clear of cut flowers like daisies or roses because they’ll only last a few days at most before they start to wilt, but the eucalyptus, bird of paradise, and protea stems stay beautiful all week long, especially if they get some regular misting.
Flowers from the Venice Farmers' Market, $9, can be split among several vases.
All this eucalyptus makes the house feel and smell fresher.
