Find it hard to find affordable flowers? How much do you think this arrangement cost? Go ahead, take a guess.
Would you be surprised if I said it was $6?
My daughter purchased it for me at the Farmer’s Market last week. She gets a weekly allowance and used it to surprise me with this beautiful bouquet.
What a sweet girl! I was so proud of her for her bargain-shopping skills!
Our local Farmer’s Market is open on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. There are always vendors selling homegrown flowers at a very fair price. No two are exactly alike. I love that they use repurposed containers like salsa jars and similar bottles for vases. This arrangement was breathtaking—10 flowers in perfect bloom and glossy magnolia leaves encircled the entire bouquet. I was stopped at least five times on my way out of the parking lot by shoppers wanting to know where I got it. My daughter beamed and so did I!
Next time you have a need for a beautiful centerpiece or want to give a pick-me-up to a friend, consider supporting a local farmer and get an affordable hand-picked bouquet. Your budget will thank you!
Our local Farmer’s Market is a wonderful place to spend a Saturday morning. We often give the kids a couple of dollars so they can get a snack (more often than not, it ends up being a fresh baked good from a vendor.) We take a stroll and get to see the wonderful things our community growers have produced.

How perfectly adorable! You have a smart daughter with good taste!
It’s beautiful. What a sweet daughter! I love shopping at my local farmer’s market.

I love this idea! I wonder if our farmers market does this. Flowers at the store are so costly!
