Flowers –Feb 12, 2010

The only flowers I can flaunt today, at Tootsie’s , are bought blooms.  The winter is dragging on, so these bright reminders of summer, albeit summer in tropical climates, are so welcome. My dear husband gave these to me for Valentine’s Day.

I love orchids (which seems to run in our family), and recall how in Bangkok, Thailand, we could purchase big bundles of orchids for a few dollars.015 017

Yellow tulips are so spring-like, and if they are double, so much the better!006 007 013

Now head on over to Tootsie’s and see what everyone else is flaunting today.

you have glorious blooms to flaunt this week!!! thanks for joining me with these!!! I have yet to attempt an orchid...they intimidate me...lol...funny a plant that intimidates....lol
One day I will try my hand...and I am a bit nervous that I will kill it...but also a bit afraid that I will be addicted to yet another plant!
have a great weekend!

The source doesn't matter. It's the happiness that counts.

Millie, I love orchids also but I really like your tulips! They always say Springtime to me which is my favourite season. Happy Valentines Day.

Blessings,

Victoria…and Me

Image
To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
