Again, no frills - they are wrapped with green floral tape to keep them together as tulips can sag and I've placed them in a white ceramic canister from IKEA. Here are the flowers now that I've arranged them. In addition to tulips I found some yellow flowering branches (though it will be a surprise to see what will blossom as I have no clue what the flower lady called them in German), a little wooden doll for a euro and a pretty bread basket with ceramic blue and white handles for a few euros that I will now use for my mail.

And so I have learned to live with the lumps. I ordered them in October and they arrived around the holidays but I was so busy that I forgot to tell you how cute they are!

I am still thinking about that pretty vintage puppy party that I featured yesterday. ![]()
