Splendor in the Vase: Living with Flowers

“I’d rather have roses on my table, than diamonds on my neck.”

Emma Goldman (Writer; June 27th, 1869 to May 14th, 1940)

“One has the illusion of being an artist painting—Putting a dash of color here, taking out another dash of color there, until the whole composition is to one’s liking.”

Vita Sackville-West (Author & Garden Designer; March 9th, 1892 to June 2nd, 1962)

“Gardening is very creative and artistic….much like painting or cooking.”
