Gypsy’s stage mother, Rose, belts out “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” ~ the big, brassy paean to the power of positive thinking.
With June hailed as “rose month,” it was pretty much a given that my tablescape would feature America’s favorite flower, the rose, in a starring role.
That, plus roses have a nearly universal meaning of love and respect; making roses a perfect part of a funeral flower arrangement.
Is that a pivot? Not really. A journey of grief can be considered that positive thinking that Rose sang about.
My tablescape was to be pretty and a tribute to comfort food and floral design as part of bereavement.
Why? I’m eager to share with you.
