I know, what more really needs to be said about something so beautiful? My sweetheart actually bought tulip bulbs this fall and while I was gone for the day, planted them in my garden for a surprise. He was with me when I spied some bulbs on sale later and wanted to buy some so he confessed his sweet little secret because he was afraid I would dig up the ones he planted while trying to plant my own:>) I can’t wait for spring!
I noticed the grocery store was selling tulips last time I was there – I’m hoping I can get some on sale cause I’m ready for spring. Tulips and daffodils always say spring to me. Love the tulip pillow – beautiful & cozy corner!
Oh Melissa! I can just feel myself sinking into that lovely chair and letting out a little sigh. A little overcast outside casting shadows inside and a little fire in the grate. And then I look over at those beautiful tulips and smile. Lovely shot!

Just the escape I needed this morning! I left my house at 5:30 a.m. to go get my swimming workout in, only to have to turn about due to a log truck spilling its load. No workout makes for a grumpy Esther. The snow and slop and really a drag right now! So nice to see those tulips! Have a great weekend, my friend. Love, Esther
Hi Melissa,
two of my favorite things back to back! Valentines Day AND Spring. Simply crazy about spring flowers and when it arrives our farmers market makes me go crazy, tulips, tuberose,peonies, hydrangeas, the list goes on. So uplifting to see glimpses of spring, thank you again!

That picture brings back fond memories of a sweet little tea house I used to visit a few years ago. It was my ‘Wednesday’ ritual to stop there before heading off to school. Man do I miss that place.
Thanks for the little reminder. Happy weekend to you!
By the way, I really like the quote you have at top of your blog.
What a lovely photo! I live right in the middle of acres upon acres of colorful tulip fields that put their show on every
April~~cannot wait! Thanks for sharing!~Dona
Okay after perusing your blog I am delighted to discover that we are neighbors. I live in Oregon City. I feel like Ive had a brush with royalty today! LOL
Melissa, I love this post and this ritual–aren’t fresh flowers the best? Every summer, when the local market opens, I buy a fresh bouquet (sometimes two!) once a week and love how it just brightens everything, including my day. Happy weekend to you!
AH Melissa, your cozy spot is absolutely dreamy!!!! I could certainly imagine curling up with a great book and a Starbucks and getting lost for a couple hours.
I love it!
I also love your new look…although I truly loved the other look too…
xoxo,
Melissa
PS – I’d love to link you on my blog…would that be ok with you? ;)
Mmm.. surrounded by tulips, it looks like a nice place to sit and read.
Alison

Looks like a cozy place to read. And more inspiration for Valentine’s Day! Hope you can enjoy your sweet escape today!

A beautiful spot for some tea and some time…

Oh, I wish I were sitting there. Beauty and peace. What more could anyone want?????

I am with Manuela all the way. Tulips and daffodils are my favorite flowers; I’ rather have them than roses any day.

Nothing better…

Makes me want to sit down and read a book!

Tulips are synonym to spring…. thank you for reminding me that spring is just around the corner!
Sorry, I forgot to sign:
Have a lovely day!

One of my most favorite flowers! Can I come sit awhile?
Very pretty and cozy photo, Melissa! Have a great weekend!
You already have tulips? Good grief, I am still finding pine needles and putting away those last little reminders of Christmas.
Melissa,
See, that is what I love about you. You can find a simple picture that says more than words ever could. Lovely, just lovely.
Hugs,
Debbie
What a lovely spot….and the flowers and the ones on the pillow are just lovely, too!

Tulips rock. All year round. I am hoping ashley has some white or ivory tulips in her wedding bouquet. I love the way they drape.
Awesome post. No, I mean, AWESOME post.
Just got back…. wanted to touch base… looks like I have a lot to catch up on ….
HUGS
