A Blast of Spring Color



                                                      Hello everyone,
                            If you are like me you are ready for a blast of spring color~
                           so while I am waiting for that blast of spring color in our
                           garden, I am enjoying my little indoor garden.
                       
             I love the rich deep orange of these tulips and my teacup and spooner are
             beautiful with them.
                        I changed the look a little here by taking out the small round table
                        and replacing it with this vintage cabinet.



                                   Love the hummingbirds on this vintage fabric.
                                 Is there anything more cheerful then the return of
                                 daffodils?
                                                       


                            Finally we are expecting some temperatures above
                                     freezing this weekend. It won't be long before we
                                     can enjoy a real blast of color as those spring
                                     bloomers start poking through the ground.

                                        I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

                                                                                      Carolyn

I am so glad that all of you who live in the "weather" states are about to get spring.

Our weather doesn't know what season it is. My daffodils have already bloomed and moved on. The rest of this week we are expecting weather in the 80's.

The bright orange of the tulips backlit by the sunny window is amazing. So brilliant! We are so colour starved here (outside) so it's nice to have spring colours inside. Enjoy the weekend. Pam

In this period of the year our home gardens are so precious for they're giving us an anticipation of the Spring we're waiting for with so much love, and the colours and the lovely images that you, as usual, share with us, bring true joy to our heart !
Happy week end dear Carolyn xox

What a sweet idea to plant daffodils in a teacup & teapot!
The tulips are a gorgeous pop of color. Just what I need & want. Soon, I am hoping! Your colorful setting was very nice to view.

Are there more than 24 hours in a Canadian Day? Or perhaps you require little-no sleep? I am just in awe of all the things you do, all the different tea things, and having time to switch them around, keep up your pretty house, take loads of pictures, edit and format them, bake, plan gardens, and move furniture around, etc. I'm exhausted just thinking up all the things you do.
What lovely vignettes you have shared with us this week, thank you so much!

Your pictures are enchanting! I loved the burst of color...especially the orange...cuz it warmed me up on this cold winter day!

It is snow/sleeting here this morning in Kansas. I think it will be short-lived..but it is not fun!

Thank you for the lovely retreat you gave me...I enjoy your pretty pictures!

Melody said...

I LOVE your sunny window!!! It just brought a little jolt of joy! But am I silly for saying so? ;) I think growing things - houseplants and bulbs - are the height of luxuriousness when there's snow out the window. Happy sigh! =)
