$19 Flower Arrangement vs $140 - Which One Is Better?

2021 Flower Arrangements! Let's talk about the 3 ways we can create beauty and drama in our home with plants and flowers! I create 3 arrangements for you...one $19....one $140 and one wall pocket design.!!! I show you how I cover stems while leaving the light shining through the glass vase! I take you through how I feel nature outside and what we create inside would be one and the same. I also talk about something deeply personal about the people I love in my life and what they taught me this week. So come along with me and Desi today and we'll put on a show!
I am sending my love and well wishes to each and every one of you that make my life so rich and meaningful,
Love you to the moon and back,
Susan & Desi

You know, I am watching my husband who is disabled, faster and faster winding down. I thought in a blind panic there is no possible way I can ever live on my own and thrive. When I found your channel I was looking for some comfort and understanding. I was a Mother at 19 and I have been married a couple of times. I’ve never lived alone. I watch your videos, I watch you live alone, and you thrive. You have a passionate soul. I remember being that way. I don’t know how to word this without sounding mean, but, I’m just going to say it. I don’t think I’m afraid anymore of my husbands coming death. I hate it, but I’m not afraid of it, I have been facing it. I don’t want what’s left to be anger fear and regret. I want to fill the time with laughing and as much love as he will allow. I’m not afraid of being alone for the first time. For the first time in so long, I can remember again that I use be fearless. I’m prepared for what will come. I hope I am anyway. I want to look ahead without the guilt that I’m doing something wrong. I want to be prepared. The video today is one that I am going to utilize in my life now, and when I am on my own. This video is beautiful, because it opens up possibilities. It’s not just about flower arrangements, it’s about learning to look at what is right in front of you, and see the beautiful. Those Dollar tree flowers in your second had pot, were gorgeous and made me happy, your 100$ arrangement was just as gorgeous. Letting the light show through your glass vase. Every little thing that brings joy, and beauty can fill every little corner of our lives, if we just let it. Little Poet, you are a treasure, and a Blessing. You bring joy and happiness and possibilities. You are showing me, that I can look forward. Your helping make it all ok. I’m grateful I truly am.

[@trishgreen3499]

You are not alone I have been there and now 2 years on and I am coming to the light at the new beginning of my new life I am moving to a new home and I am trying to start again just remember we don’t die I don’t believe this I Know It xx

[@GrayPower60]

Grieving is a personal journey that each of us take at some point in our lives. Give yourself permission to grieve in your own way. And remember that getting on with your life - is ok and you are not alone. Angels watch and guide us, if we listen. Taking the road ahead, alone, can give you strength you never knew you had. Hugs & prayers

You may like to take a look at green Renaissance channel, the last one, the madness of love, but many many more are just so beautiful and life affirming no matter how different or hard. And lovely to hear people of all ages and back grounds opinions on life.

[@andreahughes6288]

Your comment really hit home for me my fiance of many years is a type 2 diabetic and he's not well and he just had his big toe amputated from diabetes and I know his time is limited and he stays in bed a lot, but who knows he might just outlive me, my time could be limited too and I just don't know it yet. Only the good Lord knows who he will take first. I could get hit by a car today or tomarrow and go first too. I was a mother at 16 and my ex husband was a cheater, we were married for 34 years. It broke my heart so bad and it's 17 years later and I'm still heart broken and angry, even though I don't want him anymore, I still love the man married 50 years ago and not the man he became or is today as we were high school sweethearts. He married a younger women the same age as our daughter and she was the wife of one of his coworkers, yea, it's a sick situation and shes just waiting for him to die because he has a huge stock plan retirement worth almost a million dollars and he's still working to support her and her illegitimate child that she claims is his ans he's 70 years old and he's had 2 heart attacks and 99% blockages with both heart attacks. He had a vasectomy before he met her, Lol so we know its not his child and even her grown daughter says it's not his child. Lol its just amazing what Iife deals us sometimes. I'm ok though as I do love the man I'm with very much and that's what matters. He loves me and takes good care of me as well even though he's sick. Once your husband passes away surround yourself with good honest girlfriends. Don't trust anyone with your deepest dark secrets though, not even you very best friend, I learned the hard way, as it will come back to haunt you if that best friend ever gets mad at you. Believe me I know. I wish you all the best and if you want to email me @ [e-mail] you very welcome to. Hugs and love from Branson, Missouri

[@mariaa7459]

Our daughter recently got married, when she told me what she wanted in her bouquet, I could not understand how it would look. She chose to have bougainvillea flowers in her bouquet. It made the most beautiful bouquet! When I saw it- I understood. She wore my “mantilla” ( cathedral veil) which I wore 51 years ago- talk about tears ! Everything came together!

[@sandrahamlet1660]

You mention Heaven. When I think about Heaven I can't help but thank JESUS for what he did for us. All we have to do is ask him to forgive us of our sin's and come into our hearts and then Heaven will be ours.

[@madelinestuart8827]

Susan, you really touched my heart with this video. I made a cross stitch many years ago that said, "To love and be loved is the greatest joy on earth". To be able to show love and to feel that you are loved are the two most powerful and important things we can experience. Thank you for this reminder.

[@LittlePoet]

Thank you Madeline...you bring tears to my eyes...you didn't need so many words to make such a powerful point...xxoo love to you, Susan

[@catparker2078]

What a beautiful, generous thing you are doing for Bill, Susan. What a wonderful, selfless gift you are giving him - the gift of your presence. That has to be so comforting to him. Bless you for making him happy in his last months on this earth.

[@ritacooke3175]

It seems when we're young we're always "looking for love in all the wrong places." Then growing old makes us realize perhaps we weren't looking in the wrong places but looking for the wrong thing. Aging has a way of teaching us to appreciate the moments , present, past and future and the people we've been looking for our whole lives were right there in front of us. I found this to be true as I cared for my dying father a few years ago. The love and appreciation I felt for him at my age had never been as real as it was during his last weeks of his life. The circle of life became so evident to both of us. Life's circumstances don't change who we are at our core. I believe we're meant to face every struggle we endure because in the end we realize it was all a part of the plan and the end result never changes. We eventually accept the people, life and love we were so busy looking for were the people who were helping you look all along.

[@GrayPower60]

I love the cheaper flower arrangement, I love colour, chaos and large arrangements. Your grandchildren are so adorable!

[@judycee4]

I love the basket arrangement, just gorgeous! I love flowers, real or faux. Your grandchildren are adorable, and I’m glad you are there for Bill.

[@terrytully1051]

I was married 54 years ago and carried a beautiful bouquet of calilillies. My mother in law told me she thought lillies were just for funerals! She was a real ..... gem. I love your flower arrangements, taste and delivery. Thanks so very much. You're delightful!

[@happydeedee1765]

It's been a moment since I've seen my grandsons. When their mom gets angry with my son (her ex) she will keep them from our side of the family. I miss them both so much sometimes, it can physically hurt. Silly huh? But it's how I feel. At any rate, I will continue to pray for God to intervene...And I know he will.🙏

My home is full of faux flowers, i love them, and these days they look so real, to clean my flowers i put them in a bra bag, and wash them in the washing machine, they come out nearly dry, and they look clean again, and the bra bag keeps all the petals in place...ps, put them on a gentle cycle..

I had one of my grandsons this last week and I didn’t want it to end but he had to go home. I’ll look forward to the next time we get together.

[@cherries1952]

That’s wonderful that you can see Bill again.. it’s nice that you can be there for him. I can see vulnerability & fear in someone’s eyes as they near the end of life. Not something I like to experience anymore. Since I can’t go anywhere I have an excuse not to go to hospitals or funerals. I feel bad that I didn’t go to some funerals. Years ago I wasn’t as bad with my walking. I just didn’t want to face the end of life of some of my family. I don’t even like to think of it. Your flower arrangements are beautiful. The calla lilies are stunning. I love the Walmart & Dollar Store arrangement better. I love the wild & free look to them. It’s an interesting idea to put water in the vase to make them look real. That I don’t want to do! Too much trouble. I can’t believe Wyatt is 4 already. I remember when you talked about the pregnancy. Time does fly. Love you, Lucy

[@donnariley8639]

Dear Susan I so love ❤️ your arrangements both expensive and not so expensive! They are both beautiful just like you. Your grand babies are so adorable 🥰 you’re so blessed indeed !!! Love and prayers to Bill!!! My mother passed during covid December 27th when she looked at me her eyes were like a newborn baby. She didn’t know me but I believe she knew she was loved. My son got her a babydoll to hold so she wouldn’t feel alone. She’s never alone now she went home to be with my daddy the love of her life they are in heaven together now and I don’t have to worry about her anymore ❤️❤️❤️God’s blessings and love to you my dear!

[@susanschultz1762]

What resonated with me is seeking comfort. We spend our lives seeking comfort, it seems to be at the base of everything we do, or homes, our work that provides the home.

[@sueewood3004]

Another beautiful video, thank you. I couldn't sleep with the heat so I got up and found you! I am finding a recognition of my vulnerability as I age, a vulnerability that is very similar to childhood vulnerability, especially around the losses of friends and family. I am more willing to 'go with it ' now, tears are great cleansers and after the tears, good memories and laughter (and chocolate). One of my dearest friends is dying right now, and I can't be with her due to covid, but I think of her all the time and kind of rehearse losing her. I guess one of the hardest things to come to terms with at any age is loss. My greatest comfort is my little grandson. He makes me laugh like no one else and he said the other day 'I know what would make you happy Nanna, going on the slide' - he is right - I might just try it next time I see him! Last time I went on a slide I was 45, so I guess I kind of knew that trick long ago! The last advice I got from a child was to dye my hair - I did and it went purple!! Wasn't there a poem about wearing purple when you get old? I lost the hair pretty quick! I love your flower arrangements, I do them too, and I also like to mix real flowers with artificial ones (in water of course)! It means I can choose some of my favourite flowers that have a scent and mix them with my standby artificial ones. I like the idea of mixing plants with flowers and will give this a try. Have a good week lovely lady, you make a lot of people very happy. xx

[@marlenemeek9030]

I like all your arrangements and your videos are full of fresh magical ideas that have inspired me to look at decorating from a smarter perspective.

My mom has always seemed to me full of confidence and quelled in any fears i had ( as a young girl and adult) by her way of plunging into any new thing and speaking with confidence. I always felt safe because she seemed so sure of herself. It wasn't until years later when she needed me that i found out she didn't feel confident inside, she, " faked it until she made it" for us kids. She did that so we felt safe.

Love your videos. They remind me of an old movie. And you're right, we all seek out a state of comfort. What it takes to achieve that changes throughout the different stages of our lives. Ironically, the very beginning and the later years resemble each other a great deal in that regard - we are the most vulnerable and the least secure at those times. We need to remember that when we feel frustrated with children and the elderly.

I can't tell you how much it touches my heart that you noticed and understood what I was trying to say...connected the dots of our lives....as a young girl I would watch the pretty people gracefully dance across my screen...I wondered what life would have in store for me...and I realize...I am still watching and still wondering what my future holds...that gives me so much happiness and peace. I just love you girl!!!

The real thing is best. The calla lilies are indeed in bloom in my garden. Your arrangements are nice.

[@lindamarshall6536]

Really enjoyed your video today! Beautiful grandchildren, flowers, and the comfort and kindness you are providing to Bill. All beautiful!

[@gairoadams4952]

Hi Susan... Thank you for the warm welcome. Loved your content. Always a pleasure to watch. Love n best wishes to you n Desi.

I loved the first arrangement you made, they were both beautiful, but the first one is more me. I also adore the picture next to the wall pocket arrangement. I agree with you about what our basic needs are. Sometimes the world is just so materialistic that those needs get Left behind. Kindness, love and consideration can make a world of difference. I'm happy that you are able to visit with Bill again. You and Desi have a wonderful weekend 🌼🦋🙂

Everytime I'm with my grandchildren I don't want it to end. They give me such joy Sues. Just like your videos bring me so much joy. I love your flowers so much. I'm so sorry to hear that your Bill has a short time left. And I'm so happy that you both can spend time together again. I appreciate you more than you know. And your little Desi brings us all joy. Re-reading this back, I think joy was the dominant feeling. I thank God for every joyous thing. Have a good week Sues and thankyou for being you. Love, Mary xoxo

Always a joy with you Susan.

Great idea of a few flowers in the water...lovely

Hi Susan. I'm a new subscriber from New Zealand. I have found your videos so interesting. I love what you said about life being chaotic and messy. I agree. I'm two years out of a bad relationship, and still finding what I want to do with my life. Things are a struggle but I do enjoy watching interesting and calming videos to try to relax. Yours have helped. Thank you x

[@LittlePoet]

Thank you Shirleen for being here and I agree, life can be chaos but that helps us know we are living and moving! Happy weekend to you and yours, Love Susan & Desi

[@lespurser5861]

What a beautiful way to have a relationship with Bill to fill his needs and yours at the same time. Your visits will never be forgotten by Bill and you will be repaid with so many blessings for your kindness.

[@djterry1218]

Your flowers are done so tastefully. Unfortunately all my taste is in my mouth!!!! You have such wonderful encouraging words.

[@southernrosetiadee]

OMG, I love the thought of using wall pockets! Thank you for the idea. I can’t wait to see what glamorous things I can design using wall pockets.

[@dollydog1903]

I love the first arrangement the most. I like the colors and it’s carefreeness. I’ve raised money plant from seeds and I think I’ll go that route in the future too. Your grandchildren are adorable. I missed mine so much throughout Covid. I’m so glad you got to spend the day with your son & family. Nothing is more important. The Hull pitcher you rescued is grand. Desi is the best gangsta pup around. I love seeing his scampi face. Enjoy your videos so much. You’re an artist and it shows in your videos. Thank you so much. You made my evening.

[@debbiegreene7037]

Susan, you have such a wonderful gift of insight.

[@melissamorris-hillman5777]

Always love the way Desi lovingly looks at you!

[@lindasmith3316]

Loved the video. I liked the basket arrangement best but all 3 were lovely. You know when you visit Bill it helps you as much as it does him. I used to visit people from church in nursing homes and retirement homes and it comforted my soul as much if not more than the ones I visited. The love we show to others returns to us in many ways. That Desi gets cuter all the time. God bless you.

[@deborahbenjamin4490]

I have had a love of flowers all my life & gardening has been one of several passions! I have bought both the expensive & inexpensive faux flowers & plants, they bring my rooms to life! I had my daughters & some of my grand kids over the other day. Until covid we got together almost every week! Well that all came to an end for a very long time. When they were leaving my 6 yer old grandson was hugging me goodbye. It was one of the most longest hugs with so much love felt & he said "I'm not going to leave." I cannot tell you what an overwhelming moment that was! Yes...we had missed each other terribly, & I will keep that moment in my heart forever!

[@cynthiablackwell9027]

Wow such another great video. I simply can’t get enough of you and Desi too. Thank you for sharing all your life’s enjoyments and I’m keeping Billy in my prayers. Your children are beautiful

[@suzannecorey4419]

Love the way you bring beauty to a less expensive arrangement. Both are beautiful!

[@CVenza]

Hi Susan, thank you for showing Billy, I had never seen of him until today. All the wonderful things you ever said about him tugged at my heart to see his fragile hand. My eyes flooded with tears when you told us he wants you in heaven too, that tells me he still worries for your well being. The floral arrangements all look very nice and thank you for the tips. It's been a lovely video today.

[@rhonda6791]

Susan the fancy flowers are beautiful, different and special. Even though the camera you can tell the difference. Thank you for sharing 🌿🌷🌷🌷☘️

[@NelCooper]

Great video Susan! It was funny, artistic and soulful just like you with gangster Desi to round it all out! Love to you and your family especially Bill. What a wonderful person he is. ❤️ XOXO

[@yolandamarshall872]

All the arrangements are beautiful. Amazing what you did with Dollar Tree and Walmart flowers. Tfs

[@maryadams1854]

This video made me realize I need to do some flower arrangements to add to my decor! ❤️

[@annetted.6338]

Beautiful words spoken on life. You’re heart is singing loudly! 💕to you & Desi. Have a lovely week!

[@susanfernandez7475]

Love your videos! They make me relaxed and I learn so much! I prefer the less expensive flower arrangement and the freshly picked look over the more formal as I do in my home! I love the I just walked in from the garden look!
