While walking home from the office at the ungodly hour of 10:30PM, I walked by Roseland Ballroom while they were in the process of breaking down a private event held earlier in the evening. Outside there was a guy stuffing literally hundreds of beautiful blue hydrangea blooms into giant black trash bags. After asking the 1st most important question, “are the real”? (Yes) Followed by, “Can I have some”? (shrug)

This is how you end up with a free bouquet on your walk home:

I popped them into one of my favorite cool-casual vases, an old Pom Tea glass, back from when it first launched and came in real glasses with pop-bottle tops!
