I still think that withered tulips are beautiful. They are more fragile than before. Their colors muted, their petals wrinkled – and then they become almost transparent.

My kind o’ cup
For midsummer I took some of the rose cups I thrifted last week and made my first flower arrangement for the table. Roses of course, from the garden. I just love how beautiful they look together on the white table cloth. This is true shabby chic, a style I’m diving into this summer with my […]
