Perk Up the Spirit with Tulips

Tulips are usually synonymous with spring.

Even though global warming has apparently been keeping this winter toasty, we still have a way to go before spring officially arrives.

Some days, many actually, the sun never comes out at all and a gray sky is all we have to look at. That can be a downer.

One sure way to perk up one's spirits as well as add a cheery look to the kitchen is to buy a bunch of tulips in your favorite color, pop them into a pretty glass or vase, and enjoy!

Because the color pink makes me happy, the tulips for our house are pink.  A cut crystal vase chipped so it got retired as a drinking glass but still makes a super flower container, don't you think?

It was delightful to find these lovely pink tulips in the supermarket.  They cost $6.99, which is a bit more than I wanted to spend, but that's a lot cheaper than therapy. ha!

Doilies are kind of old-fashioned but add a lot to a home's decor. They are so beautifully crocheted and reminiscent of grandmas everywhere.

Luckily, there was a pink one in the dining room china closet drawer.  It has set off the pink tulips perfectly.

These little harbingers of spring are doing a great job of bringing smiles to whoever comes into the kitchen.  Can't put a price tag on that!
