Loving Tulips

Ok, so its been a bit since I've blogged here but I was in the grocery store and saw some beautiful spring flowers out...and its January!!!  I got really excited when I saw this episode of Steven & Chris (apple does not fall far from the tree) and these really neat ways to arrange tulips.  I love love love flowers in my home and before I had my kiddo it was probably my biggest luxury...to have fresh flowers on my table nearly every week.  I found a great florist and would go pick out what I wanted.  Anyhow, these days I don't have time for that and pick up a bouquet here and there from Costco - which is also a decent place to get them and they are priced pretty reasonably.  One thing I really appreciate is fresh fresh flowers.  If the flowers are looking old or wilty, don't waste your money.

The tough thing about tulips is they usually come in a pack and aren't arranged for you!  They don't take much though and here are some really neat ideas.


Oh yeah, and stick a penny in your vase and don't feed tulips flower food.  They like copper and don't like food.

Here's a link to their site

Tulips!


And here is another one I found when I was looking for the tulips!
