In preparation for tomorrow’s Flower Power post, today I am sharing some of my images of the Pike Place Market in Seattle. The market has stalls with all of the usual suspects: pastries, homemade pasta, veggies…
But what impressed me the most were the flower stalls. So many beautiful blooms and so many arrangements for incredibly low prices($10-15 USD for a large bouquet?!) I just remember thinking “…if only I lived in this area!” I’m certain much of the grocery budget would actually go to flowers. But, who needs food when you can feast your eyes on this…
I would kill to have a flower market like that close by! I love to splurge on fresh flowers, but they are so expensive right now. I’ve been looking through books about cutting gardens and may put one in next spring. I don’t know what the magic of fresh flowers is, but they do bring something special to a room.
those flowers are so beautiful!
Love those beautiful red flowers in the first pic, and those sunflowers!
These flowers are beautiful! Perfect for the fall season. For some reason fresh flowers in my home always make me happy.

I’ve been to Pike’s marketplace and the original starbucks! I really miss Seattle I use to go every week for 8 months when I was in consulting!
