Time to play with Easter flowers! Whole Foods ran a one day special on tulips the other day, 3 bunches for $10~couldn’t pass that up!
I really wanted pink but the pink ones looked a little sickly, so I chose purple, orange and yellow
Last year I did find pink tulips and had some fun with jelly beans, blue grass and yellow peeps…
but this year I want to use something different… something fresh…like eggs!. I had some white and brown ones so I began to experiment…I love how the brown ones are all different tones of the same brown, so pretty!
put some paper grass on the top
and tucked the tulips stems down into the glass
The lid just lays open in the back…it almost looks like the tulips burst forth and popped the lid open~
The goose honks in approval
I have some marble eggs that I put into large glass vase
I just stuck the stems in, I like arrangements to look casual, not too perfect…they look more natural that way
An egg yolk yellow plate and a large square of moss provide a perfect landing spot for this pop of Easter in the family room
With just a few stems left I used a smaller vase and but some turquoise blue glass beads in the bottom
and put the rest of the tulips on the mantle
and Spring has sprung!
TIP: When using glass vessels for flower arranging, vinegar is a girl’s best friend~
Just swish a little around the bottom of your vase and that murky, cloudy glass will sparkle right up!
Thanks so much for visiting today!
