I did just that last week. I stopped in for a last-minute margarita party at a friend's apartment, and on the way, picked up a lavish bouquet of fresh seasonal flowers. She oohed and aahed, and promptly placed the fleurs into her sink, thanking me all the while. Apparently, my friend owns only one vase, and alas, it was already in use. If this is your situation as well, get hip, and go in search of more.
Vases are available in a variety of sizes, shapes and prices.
Choose from glass, plastic, or those tin French flower buckets. Go to Pier One, Ikea, Pottery Barn or any home decorating shop. There's nothing more disheartening than seeing flowers relegated to the kitchen sink. Once displayed, even in the prettiest vase, realize that the flowers will droop. Expect a few good days, and then do not be shocked if they give up, so to speak, and flop.
