My hands in the dirt...

Hello, How is your weekend going so far?

Today it is daylight savings time ;0)

Spring forward...onward & upward!

I have a couple of sunlit photos to share @ Karen's

My Little Home and Garden - Sunlit Sunday

After seeing all of the beautiful tulips this week, I had to go out & get some of my own for the house.


















These tulips are like a raspberry shade, they match my granny chic vibe that I have been creating in the Living Room this past week.






When I took them out of the pot to replant them in a terracotta planter, the roots of the tulip bulbs wound up so tightly reminded me of a woven birds nest...






This naturally distressed terracotta planter usually sits out on the back covered porch.

I made a little Spring arrangement in it, I couldn't resist any longer  ;0)

So, what I would seasonally see this planter filled with summer annuals when I look out the window...
Here is a reverse image of me outside the window looking in the front bay window.
It filled with a Spring planting in the Winter.

"Bringing the outside in"

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

All the Best,
Christine

  3. Hey Christine- I'm all for bringing the outside in too! I wish I had more room for the plants I grow in the summer. I love your tulip roots and they do resemble a nest! That color is outstanding! I do like your terracotta flower pot- that's a great idea to plant some already growing bulbs together like that!

  7. The tulips brighten the day. The root system certainly does look like a bird nest, lovely photo with the eggs around it.

  8. Good Morning, Christine

    What a great eye you have. It was so clever to display your "nest" along with the egg and it put a whole new spin on the tulips.

    I also like the photo that shows the beautiful trees reflected in the window. Your "granny chic" vibe has a fun, current flare to it.

    Thank you for bringing the tulips to "Sunlit Sunday". Enjoy your Sunday!
