Tulip festival, a new cupboard, and some fun company....


Last week I went to the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival with some friends.
Thanksgiving Point has more than 200 acres, including the beautiful gardens. We wandered along the pretty pathways, admiring all the different colored tulips. (We missed the flowering trees-which peaked last week.) It was a beautiful sight to see all the color!
Later in the summer they will have rose gardens and a butterfly garden.

I also have a new cupboard that we found on Craig's List. I had been looking for a little storage for table cloths and other linens. I think it will help free up some drawers in my kitchen.

And....

Guess who came to visit?


I hope you all have a great weekend!

It's Mosaic Monday again (almost) and I linked up to The Little Red House.  Go check out some amazing mosaics.

I love Thanksgiving Point's Tulip festival! We haven't made it this year~Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures. I think its the weather which keeps tricking my brain!
The cupboard looks perfect for storing your linens. I could use one to free up space in my drawers too.
Enjoy your weekend!

I don't think that your blog readers would have a hard time figuring out the answer to your question about who came to visit. The real question is, when do we not come to visit?

The cupboard was actually found on KSL.com, and we did absolutely nothing to it. It's newer, it looks like it was an assemble yourself item.

WEll now... seems we were in the same neighborhood! :)

I wish this darn snow would stop as I know its biting the new spring flowers. I went early this year to capture some shots hoping to go when the BLOOM-omiter reads 100% ...but i might be wishful thinking.

Fun shots!
Come join us on Fridays-- for finding beauty!

Those tulips make me ask myself why I'm in the house on the 'puter instead of being outside! Jane F
