around the house...


tulips from the garden and a new pillow in fun colorful stripes








I just don't know which I like more....the tulips with the leaves or just stems...
( I recently read they last longer in vases when stripped of their leaves)



Easter preparations are now in full swing

for some basket inspiration, you can see what I've done here  & here  & here 

have a blessed and Holy Thursday and a very Good Friday

peace + blessings,

  2. I like them with their leaves, they just seem more flower like with them! Maybes its because they are "fuller"

  7. Loving that striped pillow case! Totally the colors I *heart* right now! I made fabric "basket liners" for the little one's Easter baskets this year. I need to go get my post up. They turned out really cute.

    I'm not sure about the tulips either...they look beautiful both ways. Over the past year, I too have been stripping my rose bouquets of their leaves and cutting down the stems before placing in vases. Hmmm...I think they do seem to last longer now that I think about it.

    Blessings to you for tomorrow. I won't be on-line.
