Spring is almost here...
The sky is full of rainbows..
bulbs are blooming...
birds are beginning to flirt....
But... baby It's cold outside!
(click images to enlarge)
I am beginning to feel impatient,
O.K. truthfully patience
is probably not one of my main virtues....
so I am bringing spring in...
starting with this Cyclamen
from Whole Foods Market...
I have never seen such ruffly petals,
he had me at hello...
I have shown my vintage lavender bottle collection before...
I love to display small flowers in them
in the window with the light streaming through...
Crocus blooms fresh from the garden
made good stoppers...
I love candles all year long,
but I have switched to perkier scents,
like this Lavender and Lemon...
The fresh lemon scent
should help chase away the mid-winter blahs....
A tattered rose bouquet
from summers past...
Crocus blooms
the promise of spring to come...
It is just around the corner...
If you are reading this post on another website....
I would love for you to stop by
and visit me at my blog...
Tonight I am joining...
and
Thanks for stopping by today...

What a frilly Cyclamen! Very beautiful. Your bottle vignette is so unusual and pretty to look at. I love all the different elements, and the way you have arranged and photographed them. Are you ready for big party night? xx
I have never seen frilly flowers on a cyclamen. I envy you, your crocus flowers, mine are still covered in snow. Take care and have a wonderful weekend.
That cyclamen is so pretty. I've never seen such one before. The crocus blooms in lavender bottles look so delicate and dainty. Such a lovely post!
Gorgeous pictures!! That must be aruffled cyclamen? It is spectacular. I am so anxious for spring, too, Bella. Can't come soon enough for me! Hugs- Diana

so nice to meet you :)

P.S. Hang in there Spring is surely coming :)
I'm feeling impatient too. A little less rain and cold and some sun would be great. I love your crocus bouquets, I never thought to pick them and bring them inside. Great idea!
I've never felt as though I was a big fan of the color purple, but oh my I want to go lavender crazy now! So pretty.

Bella very pretty girl..and I'm so wanting flowers again instead of snow ha ha!! Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
Your Crocus bloom stoppers are adorable!
I am thoroughly enjoying my Spring bulbs starting to awaken from their slumber.

Seems like spring is very long in coming this year after this hard winter but your pretty cyclamen and crocus bottles do help to cheer me up! Linda
I'm feeling very impatient as well. I like the crocuses as stoppers very pretty. I've never seen a cyclamen with such ruffly flower petals before.
I love your lavender bottles, and pretty flowers. I never thought of bringing crocuses inside before. They look lovely.
Cheers,

pretty vignette Bella have a great weekend
I know what you mean Bella. I managed to get outside to putter yesterday between the rain, thundershowers and a little snow storm - it was actually sunny for that hour!! It felt so good...
i have never seen the ruffled kind either!! i would have snatched to...sucker for frilly!
It's so nice to see such pretty, colorful flowers on such a dreary day.
Bella ~ such sweet, romantic, springy photos! I can see why the ruffles caught your heart! So very pretty! :)

Hello Bella
I'm with you..impatient, but at least you're ahead of us weather wise.
Of course I love the lavender bottle display, very dainty with the crocus flowers.
It's good to be back, I missed Topaz and since he won't leave me alone, guess he missed me too.
Hugs,
Judith
