Moving into a new house is just as exciting as it is stressful. There’s so much to get done, but once you’re finished you can finally relax in your new surroundings and meet the neighbors. There seems to always be neighborhood characters and little quirks that are unique to each location, and as time goes on you start to notice little things about your new place.
For one woman in the UK named Rosie, a strange occurrence kept happening after she moved into her new house. Pretty little pink flowers were regularly appearing on her porch seemingly out of nowhere. There were no matching flowers in her garden or on her property and the only explanations she could think of, such as the wind blowing them to the same spot time and again, just didn’t add up.
Miffed at the whole thing, Rosie kept an eye out for a possible secret admirer and went about her business. Time went by and the flowers kept coming, there was a new one every couple of days. Then one evening Rosie was cooking dinner when she noticed a movement on her front porch.
It was the neighbor’s cat, Willow, coming up with a pink flower in her mouth! The sweet kitty had been bringing her floral presents the whole time and now Rosie had witnessed it and knew the truth behind the mystery. Rosie had met Willow when she first moved in but had no idea the cat held her in such high regards.
It turns out that Willow likes to go around to all the neighbors and visit them, but Rosie is the only one she brings flowers to. Now that the two are closer, Rosie gives her extra special attention and treats. She even lets her in the house where Willow loves to curl up and nap on the couch.
This is one cat who knows how to win hearts over! Enjoy the video below!

85 Year Old ‘Flower Grandpa’ Asked To Walk The Aisle, But He Goes Off Script and Everyone Loses It

Weddings are steeped in many different types of traditions. Everything from the music played to the order and procession of events is generally pretty much the same across the board. In recent years couples have been throwing in more little surprises here and there, like all of those special dances you see online that they planned and practiced before the big day. However, even those trends eventually catch on and become a tad bit stale.
Then of course, there will always be those couples who switch things up completely and do them their own way. Jennifer Briskin is one of those people and she was set to tie the knot with her soon to be husband Austin Tansantisuk on October 1st 2016 in Atlanta, Georgia. The pair had everything picked out and planned to their tastes, save for one last final thing, the flower girl.
Jennifer had reserved that role for one of the most special people in her life who she was the closest with, her 85 year old grandfather named Stanley. That’s right, instead of giving the traditional role of flower girl to a younger family member or friend’s child, she did the complete opposite! She wanted to include her grandpa in the wedding party and make him a part of her big day, so she spent out a special invitation asking him to fulfill the honors. The bespoke invitation read “Papa, Will you be my Flower Grandpa?”
She recalled that “In thinking about the typical roles of a wedding, I couldn’t shake the idea of him walking down the aisle throwing flowers like a flower girl. I joked with him that I wanted him to be my ‘Flower Grandpa,’ and the idea stuck!”
Her grandfather graciously accepted the invitation and was even a little bit nervous about the whole thing! He was a little rusty on what was expected of him and so Jennifer and her sister Allison, who was also her maid of honor, set up a rehearsal and ran through it with him.
It’s been said that ‘practice makes perfect,’ which may work in theory, but as you can see in the video, practice did not help Stanley all that much. Grandpa took a different route down the aisle and rather than scatter the flowers evenly down the center, he decided to throw the petals all over the guests and they loved it!
The attendees were laughing and absolutely delighted at being showered in flowers. It all made the day that much more special and Stanley was the unexpected star of the show. Check out his awesome ‘Flower Grandpa’ skills, it’ll be sure to put a smile on everyone’s face!

Woman Places A Rubber Band Around This Coffee Filter And Dunks It In Water. WATCH What It Becomes!
When it comes to getting someone special in your life a gift nothing is more thoughtful and unique than something homemade. These hand crafted flowers are perfect for decorations and make a great alternative gift to give a party host instead of the traditional bottle of wine. No special occasion is needed to hand these beauties out, present one to someone you appreciate, and show them you care.
To make your own you will need coffee filters, scissors, a straw/pen/pipe cleaner or similar object, small rubber band, masking or duct tape, and glue. The first method is called the bunch n’ crunch where you pinch a filter in the center and bunch up the remaining material into a flower like form. Add in layers by pinching 3-6 filters onto the first and ruffle them into shape until you have a nice, full flower.
Take a rubber band to bind the base of the filters securely in place. To add petals, cut a filter into leaf-like shapes then glue them on behind any layer of flower, or wherever you think looks best. For the stem, attach a pipe cleaner on by wrapping it around the base of the flower or glue it on. You can style filters by dyeing, painting, cutting, and shaping them before you begin bunching to add more variety and uniqueness to the flowers.
The second method is the singular rose technique in which you cut a filter into a spiral. Start cutting at the outside edge, around and inwards towards the center, leaving the spiral about an inch or two wide. Roll out 2 feet of tape sticky side up, secure it down at both ends, and place one end of the filter spiral down on the top half of it.
Unwind the spiral along the tape, making sure it overlaps as much as possible while you bunch and stick it on from one end to the other. Attach a pen or straw to one end the tape then slowly wrap it around until it’s completely rolled up into a flower. If you want you may attach more tape to the stem to further secure it to the flower. Watch the video for more tips and instructions on how to craft these beautiful flowers!
