Several decorative items around my cottage depict tulips and, although these are Spring flowering bulbs, to me they are so beautiful I just love to have some around all year.

..............the really pretty switch plate which is next to it...........
These are two pots I decoupaged with copies of old tulip prints..................
.................and although I'm not a great lover of faux flowers, I have to admit the silk version of these pink beauties found at Pottery Barn a few years ago, are the closest I've seen to real - they look so much like my beautiful Pink Impressions from the garden!
Once the real ones are over I like to keep these on my hearth until Summer flowers bloom.
As the snow and ice melts, the temperatures warm, and the trees bud and blossom, I hope so much you are enjoying Spring things around your house.

Oh Mary, I love all the beautiful tulips! That switch plate cover is so pretty. I may try using the left over paper from my hutch to cover the switch plate in my dining room.......hmmmmmm........Thanks for the inspiration! :-) Rosie
ReplyDeleteLovely and springy! Tulips are so cheery. Are those vintage postcards I see? I have such a weakness for those!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Tulips are a favorite of mine too.
ReplyDeleteThe pots you decoupaged are wonderful as are all of your tulip displays.
ReplyDeleteI was telling my husband about your Pink Impressions earlier. They are exquisite.
I have some silk tulips too Mary and when they are done well, you have to feel them to see if they are fake or real. Yours are soooo pretty! I have some that are wired so you can open them over the course of time to really fool others as to them being real or not. :)
ReplyDeleteThat window frame with the pictures of tulips in it is so great! I never knew you were so fond of tulips before. Now I will be thinking of you whenever I see them here.

I just love that idea of using old window panes as frames...what a terrific idea. I am going to now peruse more of your blog, which i just came across. Your photos are very nice, you sound like a woman on the go!
