Crimson and rust flowers burst out of a teal vase covered in big navy polka dots, and a banana curls up at the bottom like it’s trying to sneak into the picture. The whole thing sits on warm mustard yellow handmade paper.

It’s pure, uncomplicated happiness, the kind you feel when the kitchen is warm and the flowers on the counter are just for you.
