I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck. ~ Emma Goldman
It's no surprise that I love flowers. If I could afford them, I'd have fresh flowers in every room of my home all year long. During the summer, it's easy. I pick whatever's growing and even if it's just a single rose or a stem of lily of the valley, it has the power to completely transform a room - at least in my eyes.
It's snowing once again as I'm writing this but looking at my tulips, I can imagine that spring is just around the corner, patiently waiting to make her arrival.
I still prefer simple compositions of flowers. I like photographing them in vintage pitchers and mason jars, or paired with vintage books and tea cups.
Maybe it's the contrast of old and timeworn with fresh and new that I like. These are two of my favourite vintage books. I adore their blue cloth covers and they're worn just enough to make them interesting but are still in very usable condition.
Who doesn't love blue Mason jars? They're so versatile and I love the combination of the soft pink tulips against the aqua blue glass.
A little bit of spring from me to you.
Beautiful :) I`m willing Spring to arrive, these help!
ReplyDeleteBless you. Believe me, it's needed. Tulips are so graceful...their stems arch and bend so prettily.
ReplyDeleteso magical and ethereal, I love these pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh Lynda...these images are absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could afford to have fresh flowers in my home at all times too. Right now, I have some baby's breath in a green pitcher on my windowsill. SImple, but so lovely.
the weather today doesn't know what it wants to be...but looking at these gorgeous photographs I know that I await spring's arrival even more than I did yesterday!!

ReplyDeleteSpring is starting to show itself in bit's. I don't like March, it a big tease. Let's us feel the excitment and then it whallops us with one more nasty blizzard. Lot's of rain the rest of the week so I hope the temps stay put so it doesnt change over to that S word! I cant wait to see my lovely Parrot Tulips pop out of the ground..hurry spring, hurry!

Yes, perfect pairing of Mason jars and pink tulips, Lynda. I love your simple compositions that are perfect and don't need anything additional. Refreshing and serene. ;)
