It's Tulip Time

Good Morning! 



Have you been to Holland to see the tulips? Hopefully, I'll be able to check that off my bucket list someday. 



Tulip season is just too brief and sadly tulips don't re-bloom in my area of Texas.
It just doesn't get cold enough.


Instead, I'll settle for some grocery store tulips and collectables with a tulip motif. 


I got the tiny vintage tulip print at a thrift store.
It's a cutie.


I put another print in a frame we picked up at a garage sale in a terrifying old house.
The house has been torn down or I would show it to you.
The frame was only a dollar.


A few tulip blossoms grace a gilded shelf. These are older Raz Imports.
The Art Nouveau clock and plate were antique store finds.
We inherited the diminutive shelf from my mother in law. She had some amazing pieces from her mother. She gifted this to us when she downsized.




I can't remember where we got the stained glass window but we've had it for years. 


I love this print from LaurieAnna's Vintage Home. It's a store in Canton, Texas. The store is only open during First Monday Trade Days. Add that flea market to your bucket list. It's one of the best flea markets in the country. 
I bought the print three years ago and never displayed it because I didn't have a frame. 
EBay to the rescue. A seller had frames in non-standard sizes.  


More Raz Import tulips rest in the tool box that Bill made for me.


The colors in the print look lovely with Magnolia Home ribbon from Target.
This was actually Christmas ribbon.


Another small print hangs in the powder room down the hall.


I believe the silk tulip on the shelf is also from Raz Imports. They have great silk flowers. Because we are just a few miles away from their headquarters these pop up on the resale market quite frequently.


My tulip doorstop came from Goodwill. It had been spray painted gold but I stripped it back down to the original paint. It was only $2.00. 
I love it in my vintage green school chair. 



Thanks for stopping in to have a look.

Garden Decor in the Garden Room

When I saw this image in the Pottery Barn catalogue this month, I was completely head over heels.
I can't wait for spring.


I was cleaning up after the great de-popcorning of 2014 and I grouped a few of my Pottery Barn silks together before I packed them away. They looked so cute together and it reminded me of the catalogue. I knew I wanted to decorate with a tulips and other bulbs in the garden room for spring. 



The dish dresser is one of my favorite pieces to decorate. 





Flowers, garden implements, birds, seeds and a cute vintage cat bank.
The kitty keeps the bird population to a minimum. 


The chalkware bank was in my room when I was a kid but I suspect that it was old when I got it.
We found it when we cleaned out the steamer trunk in the garage. 


There is an area on the other side of the room that I love to decorate too.


I got the shelf for $5.00 out in the country.
 A lady at work gave me the ice cream table. 


I picked put a book of postcards at Half Price Books not too long ago. 


It has these adorable reproduction graphics for bulbs and seeds
They are perfect for tucking in my old flower frogs.



There were two different types of tulip graphics and many other types of flowers too.  





This tulip print got a makeover.
 It used to hang in my cute office at the church where I worked as a Children's Minister. I thought I'd given it away but it was tucked back in the closet underneath the stairs.  
It had a black frame and red mat. 
I painted the frame and flipped the mat over.
Most mats are white on the back side so there was no need to buy a new mat for its new look. The whole room got a good cleaning.



I'll pop back in here to tell you about my new French chair and the sad story of my old French chair.



We're enjoying this beautiful day in North Texas. 
It's perfect sunroom weather.
