A Cheering Idea

This week Stylehound, like many people, has been wondering where the Christmas spirit is, and whether it's been taken down along with the Dow and the rest of the sorry economy.

So we went looking for something to cheer us up, and we found it--- on Patricia Gray's lively and cheering blog: "If you have a dollar, spend fifty cents on bread and fifty cents on flowers." It's an old French saying---of course, leave it to the French to get their priorities right, especially when it comes to sensual pleasures. So if you have fifty cents (or, really, more like ten dollars) see if a vase full of blooms won't perk everything up around the house.

Gray illustrates this with one of the most cheerful design photos we've seen in a long time, designed by Jeffrey Bilnuber, proving that a little yellow, and a little living color in flowers, goes a long way.
