We must not forget what an important day it is tomorrow, both in the U.S. and Italy: La Festa della Mamma!! So, it is a day to show your appreciation for mom... and the classic gift idea is with a bouquet of flowers. And yet, why not go one step further than having flowers delivered? Of course, a professional bouquet of beautiful flowers is a fantastic surprise, but it can also be quite costly. So, what if you do the flower arranging yourself, a stylist of sorts, buying some fresh cuts from your local market and distributing the flowers around the house-- an unexpected surprise for mom. Bring out the vases, both big and small, crystal or glass and begin your arranging (don't forget the extra greenery for those full bouquets). Spead a variety of flowers all around: on the dining table, as a center piece, in the bathroom, on the sink; or even on the night stand. For lack of vases, I love to use small glass bottles, such as those of the Italian sodas: Crodino, San Bitter or Martini Rossi, or even found objects will do, even if it's just to hold a single rose. Afterall, the designers goal on this occasion is to make mom smile.
