Recently our town had a Garden Fest in a park near the beach
Tons of tropical flora
always a great place to find
a rare bromeliad…or bamboo…or banana
But... I came home with some different sort of loot
A French baguette mold
you know…where the dough was once left to rise.
but it is made in Mexico. Whatever.
you can see I have not worked on the table yet…priorities people.
Spring has sprung.
‘cause I said so, that’s how.
I also found a carved wood piggy bowl
wait a minute…I found him at our local Marshalls.But he is hand carved and I oiled him with our butcher block oil.
he loved it.
He is currently tending the guac ingredients
Child #4 says:
"Ewwww...who wants to eat anything out of a pig?"
Um...Me.
Brought home two of the glass fishing floats from the fest…
why? Dunno. Maybe they’ll go outside in the garden
see the tulips Sal?
But my fave is the old German educational poster...loved it’s age…
Although I’m pretty sure I don’t know what a laubmoose is.
It hasn’t found a forever home yet...
so is borrowing some space in the messy family room
Garden fest and nary a garden flower.
s’ok…Sal’s hooked me up!
Have a beautiful day of chocolates and white tulips!

Love your writing style! And that display of tulips and pears is the wooden bowl is inspiring!!!

I will very happily eat out of the pig!!!
Good call Sal...love tulips! These images are all soooo good.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY !!!
what great finds! i especially love your shots of the mold on the table (that sounds gross...i mean baguette mold!) my baguette mold tips over quite often if i don't perfectly balance what is displayed inside. yours=perfectly balanced!
Love all the purchases, especially the tulips. I'm a sucker for white flowers and tulips in particular! But the glass fishing floats are a very close second!
I once had a Holiday Party and the floral theme was white tulips and orchids through out. It was beautiful!

Oh I want a French baguette mold too! It makes for a very pretty center piece without taking much space.
Beautiful photos my friend. I have the same little bud vases! Enjoy your wonderful flowers. xo
Simply creative images. Love them. Hope you have a great Valentine's Day!
Laubmoose; noun. Moose were once used in experimental labs until the Laubmoosepoo became too much work to clean up. Hence, the switch to Laubmice.
Happy Valentine's Day ♥

OMG Deb....that one had me snorting coffee out my nose, girl!
I think the wall art looks perfect in it's temporary home! I'd make it permanent! ;)
I adore that last image! I'm not sure what I like more, tulips and chocolate or those guac ingredients!

happy happy ♥ day
love the fishing floats! I have many of them in all sizes from huge to tiny. I have some of mine in the yard too. If you have never had them in the sun before make sure not to get them wet when the sun is shining on them. They can crack. The Florida sun may be more gentle than Texas sun though.

I'd love to have some of those white tulips to go with all the white stuff that keeps falling from the sky!!;-)
Love those floats!
Girlfriend, that shot of the pears and the tulips is right out of a magazine. Come to think of it, all of them are ! I'm so excited for spring ! And now I'm craving guacamole.... love that you add tomatillos too !
i love your eye for style!! and I totally loved your piggy bowl....and all the yummy goodies the pig was holding! mmmmm-makes me wished I was in your neck of the woods!
That poster is fabulous! The coloring is fantastic. FYI...I looked it up...Laubmoose is German for "mosses." :)

And the float balls! My Mom collected them for a while and I am thinking I might suggest she get them out of storage to come live with me in Los Angeles for a while ... my wheels are turning.
Happy Valentines Day Linda!
Gorgeous tulips...and so beautifully displayed! Tracey xx
Love the display of tulips in the antique baquette bowl! These kids they don't know anything about decor and making statements, do they??
Oh Linda, you were the first to comment on Spread The Love, so I will be making a love tag Just For You. I already have your address from the Milo list.
Speaking of Milo, he is currently in Michigan and guess what...you are next on the world tour!

What a wonderful collection...your photos are so artistic...great talent! I think the white tulips are a fantastic purchase, as is the german poster. I love it coupled with the hat collection...shame that's not it's forever home!! I think it looks great!
love glass fishing floats! and who cares if the table isn't finished... that centerpiece is too fresh for words!
so refreshing..love whites and spring greens! I'm totally spring inspired
love the fresh light background color too
Love the wine jug! Bought one myself recently and it's now home to some quince branches. I love your writing too. One of the best things about these blogs is how the personality of the writer comes through.

J'adore tulips!!!
Table? What table? What a sleight of eyes you're pulling there with that stunning bread mold/tulip display!
How come you never seem to try hard very hard, but the results are always amazing? I swear.
Oh la la! Love the baguette mold but the poster I would have snagged right in front of our eyes - had I only been there! A lovely find! And a lovely home! xx Mon
