WEEKEND PHOTO: TULIPS!

Flower arrangement with orange tulips and wild grass
Orange tulips and wild grass at my house. (above)

Sorry I haven’t posted in days. Had a rough week and wasn’t feeling well. Am back and better now.

I made this flower arrangement yesterday and thought you might enjoy – even if it is just for laughs!

Is this “arrangement” ugly or pretty? You tell me. I am leaning towards pretty in an ugly sort of way. 🙂

All I did was take long wild grass and wrapped it around the inside of a glass urn, then plopped in 20 orange tulips in various phase of bloom, and then threw in the rest of the grass. A disorganized modern classic floral arrangement mishmosh I think. Arrangement is a big word for these flowers as I did no arranging at all. I just put them in the urn and you can tell!

Here’s the only thing I will say…no matter how little you do with tulips or flowers they still brighten up a space and make me smile. So regardless if it is objectively ugly or pretty…these flowers hit the right emotional chord for me after a really rough and tumble week…

Still, I am interested to hear your amusing comments on these flowers though…need more laughs!

Hope you have a great weekend!

    Simply lovely! I make myself an arrangement at least once a week. Get’s me into a creative groove, smells good, changes the pace of the room and puts a smile on my face all at the same time.

    Glad to hear you are feeling better!
    Enjoy your weekend ★´¨)

    I love it! Wild and free — just the way tulips and grass should be. Just the way we should be! Love the room and runner too. So glad to hear that you’re feeling better.

    Love the grass at the bottom, but not in the vase around the tulips. Maybe I’m not wild enough.

    What an awesome room! Love the decor.

    I like the idea of your arrangement, and how you bundled the grass at the bottom of the vase. Maybe bundle the tulips too next time, and throw in additional grass so there’s both a more organized and whimsical feel to it?

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.
