LOVE ... Tulips

I'm so impatient, really - it's my worst character trait. I will spend an hour shopping, but if I have to wait more than three or four minutes to check out - I"ll put it all back and walk out. It's a problem, I assure you! So when I heard that the photoshoot that happened way back in September for our house was going to print and distribute this sometime this Spring, you can imagine, I've been on pins and needles since the end of February.

I had intended to blog about the spread and article yesterday, but as of today, it's still not published - and I won't bore you with photos I took, because they really don't compare. So, just know that at some point soon, I'll be sharing that, along with a break in the "LOVE" series to show some other great adventures next week:


Tuesday: We'll take a trip to Chadds Ford, PA to visit our favorite store: La Maison Home
Wednesday: The International Philadelphia Flower Show 
Thursday: MORE of The International Philadelphia Flower Show 
Friday: The Longwood Gardens Orchid Extraveganza

In the mean time, nothing says Spring to me quite like tulips ... so, let's hope this brings speeds spring up a bit shall we?

Yes, I know I cheated - those are ranuculous - but they look like tulips! :)

  4. LOVE all your tulip pics. I now want to get out and find some bunches of tulips. Living in N FL I have rarely had success with growing tulips even after refridgerating them for a minimum of eight weeks. I gave up but I am sure Fresh Market will have some of my beloved tulips. You truly are an inspiration.

  5. Beautiful pictures! My favorite early spring flowers are daffodils. I love how easy they are to grow, and their lovely scent.

  6. You wrote this post just for me, didn't you? I thought I was the only one out here with this problem... thank you so much for not letting me feel so alone with NO PATIENCE! And... tulips are my all time favorite flower (second is peonies) When I start seeing tulips in photos I know that SPRING is just around the corner and I CAN'T wait -back to that problem again! Hope you have a marvelous weekend! - Jalon

  7. My absolute favorite flower....is the Tulip...white. From the time the holiday decorations are put away...I always have at least a dozen...sometimes two...white tulips in the house! They just go with any decor...any color scheme...they are always happy...and can be...very elegant. LOVE them! For the price...they are the best! (Maybe I like them too...because my fav designer Sarah Richardson always uses them...but it only dawned on me just now.)
    Happy Spring! (almost)

  10. You should also go to my favorite shop in the area - Terrain - http://www.shopterrain.com/styers It's without a doubt the most beautiful store of its kind I've ever seen. And if you spend the night in Philadelphia, don't miss the Van Gogh exhibit.

  18. When you ask anyone about their hobby, cycling is always top of the list. It is always the preferred choice for all age groups: kids, adults, or elders. But similar to everything, the trend of cycling has changed and demands for modern cycles have been soaring. The major reasons behind the growing demand are extensive air pollution, health concerns, economical and safest transportation, as well as personal mobility. A prime example of trending bicycles is fat bikes. It attracted most people when first launched in the market, while some left wondered about its benefits.
