bouquets. I think they are a waste of plastic crinkley, money and flowers. and everytime we had a celebration, we’d get a bunch and as soon as the guests back were turned i’d mumble and grumble.
and every year I notice that I’ve been mumbling and grumbling louder than ever…
finally. I’ve turned over a new er petal
when life hands you bouquets, my stance is make pookalams 🙂
not really lovely by mallu standards, I agree;
but i’m tam!
Twopointthree kids, sixpointsix ideas on raising them 
What an idea, madamji! 🙂
heh heh
I loved the idea of converting it into pookolams…*Goes to call amma about this who is cribbing about some bouquets*
kindred spirits, what
Oh, I love bouquets. I feel guilty about all the flowers having been picked off their parent plants, but other than that, I love them. What I hate is people displaying bouquets they get in the original plastic cover. So ugly.
The minute I get a bouquet (I wish I got more), I rip off the cover, cut the stems and put them in a glass bottle filled with water. Love that look.
The pookalam, the first one in particular, looks grand.
the first one was by my friend J — who you already really like, I remember from a prev. comment…:-)
Yes, on my bucket list is meeting you, and more importantly, J, through you 😉
lol! will let J know…
divine it looks
thank you
I hand over bouquets to hospitals/old age homes to be given to people who didn’t have anyone visit or check in on them. Hospitals have always been appreciative. But the pookolam idea’s great too!!
that’s a nice one…cpg:-)
