Today, I am appreciating an old vase that sat on my parent's sideboard for years. Occasionally, it contained hydrangeas. Usually, it was empty. Then, an aunt gave my mum a big bunch of fake plastic flowers and they filled this vase for a decade or more. I hated them. When I was clearing my parent's house I almost donated this vase. But something gave me pause. Now they are full of the flowers from my subscription with @bluefernflorist I dry each bunch and, as time passes, I add them to the vase. I'm not a great arranger but I love this vase now. Sometimes, things, people, words, just need to be handled differently for them to reach their potential
