Tulips

Adding some pretty to my chaotic coffee table

Chris does all the grocery shopping. When I do it I always spend way more money then necessary and come home with all kinds of stuff that we don't need. Pretty stuff, silly stuff, mostly treats and snacks, I have no self control. Case in point, yesterday I popped out to buy the fixin's for a caesar salad and came home with a pre-valentine's day gift to myself. This little bouquet of tulips. So simple, so pretty. My coffee table is perpetually overflowing with knitting paraphernalia, books, magazines, patterns, notions, wip's, needles... it's a mess. These lovely tulips help to distract from the chaos!

  2. Totall worth it! Years ago, when I wasn't living where there is always something blooming, my post-Christmas household budget always included flowers just to fend off the winter white/gray/black landscape blues!

  6. I think they are beautiful. Every girl deserves a bouquet of flowers once in awhile - especially in February!

  7. Roses are definitely overrated because these tulips are perfect in every way! Funny, I bought a bunch of lavendery-lilac tulips as a pre-valentine bouquet to myself too:)
