My Spring Blossom Tableau...

I love when the spring flowers begin to bloom. Daffodils have added sunny yellow to the burgeoning green leaves and grass in my yard now. Tulips will bloom soon in a riot of color. And aren't grape hyacinths just the most adorable little things?

Today, upon returning from a morning walk with Mr. Lucky (my little fur boy), I decided there were enough daffodils in bloom to take some inside. I recently picked up a nice cherry-red Haeger vase/planter, at a local thrift shop, and thought it would look lovely filled with spring flowers.

What do you think of my spring tableau?


The Haeger vase/planter still has its original label on it!

At the same time I found the Haeger, I purchased this lovely lady picture, which is marked "Delegard Tool Co., Minneapolis 6, Minn.

Don't you just love the flowers below her shoulder?

As an added bonus, the lady picture flips up to reveal an unused 1950 calendar and a place to write important telephone numbers. There are even three good old-fashioned 5-digit phone numbers pencilled in....

...anyone need to call Ruth, Shirley, or Al?


Hope you're all enjoying the full blossom of spring!

Thanks everyone! I'm really glad I decided to spend a little more than usual to buy the swell calendar :)

Mosquito - Nice to meet you! Thank you for following and for the compliment on my profile pic. All I did for the hairstyle was a "Rosie the Riveter" style scarf and two big curls in my bangs.
