Wishful thinking....

Just when we thought that Spring might actually be around the corner, we get hit with (not) one, but two snowstorms!  I also hear that we are supposed to get even more snow this week...  yuck.

 

To cheer things up around the house, and my spirits, I went out and bought pretty pink and coral tulips.

 

 

 

Is it my imagination, or did the price of the flowers go uphill as the weather went downhill?  I could have sworn these tulip bunches were $2 less last week!   It's a conspiracy, I tell you.

 

 

 

I've also brought out more of my "flower" vases to cheer things up.  

This one was a recent estate sale find; I love its delicate pink roses....

 

Surrounding myself with flowers and pretty things always cheers me up.

 

Happy Monday!

p.s.   finally recovered from my Europe trip, still organizing and editing photos, which I hope to share later this week!

Hi Mercedes! I wish it would just stay warm here in Illinois. Had a snow shower here this morning. ICK! Anyway, those tulips are so pretty. Can't wait to see those pictures. Have a nice day!

Hi there Mercedes, I was so happy to get one of your beautiful tags from the Fairy children swap. I had my fingers crossed. They are just so pretty. I did not know that you went to Europe. Wow, can't wait to see those pictures. I will check back later for that. I am working on my tag swap post right now. You have to see what I did with something you sent me in the hat box swap. I repaired the old dicky and put it on my dress form for display of my jewelry. That sure was a hit, and it is just beautiful. Check it out on my blogpost about the fair. Hugs

Mercedes,
The tulips are so beautiful.
Thanks for stopping by my Beatrix Potter Pages blog post.
I am so pleased that you like my pages. Sometimes I worry that my embellishments will be to much...I had such a great time creating them and can't wait to see what everyone else did. Have a wonderful Sunday.
Hugs
Michele
