Thistle can be surprisingly beautiful. Grab a pretty vase and throw some in. It lasts at least a week but can go quite longer. There you have it: a nice, lasting & affordable bouquet for the week* Happy Saturday

  1. i LOVE thistle...one year before my family and i took a trip to paris...my aunt wanted me to make a bouquet of lilies for my mothers birthday...well the lilies were still in bud and pretty tightly...we were leaving in 3 days...so i made her this HUGE goregeous bouquet of thistle with some thick gorgeous green iridescent ribbon because i figured well it will still be able to be enjoyed when she got home...well instead of being happy...she asked me what was that supposed to mean...being that she is prickly sometimes...i hadnt even thought about that...i just saw how beautiful it was and was always one of my favorite colors in my crayola crayon pack...my aunt was kind of pissed too...i guess there is no pleasing everyone...that was long...sorry...i love your thistle!!!
