A Little Flower Power

flower

We aren’t even half way through February and I have major garden fever. Β I’m craving bulbs, blooms, and bright happy colors. Β I’m getting a little sick of looking out my window and seeing various shades of brown. Β Sick, I tell you!!

A few weeks ago, it had warmed up to shockingly spring like temperatures. Β In fact, we had almost three or four days of such warmth that you almost became used to it. Β Except it was January, and not March….and one felt a little depressed. Β But it wasn’t until I saw the tip of a little bloom from my spring bulbs that one realized the danger of such warmth. Β And sure enough, within two days of the bulb sighting, we received 8 inches of snow. Β Now all I can do is stare out the window at the snow covered flower bed, and hope my little bulb is okay.

So until the outside matches up with my wishes, I shall have to content myself with pictures, decorations, and dreams. Β And just in case you are in the same boat as I am, I thought I would share some flower inspiration to keep out spirits up!

This 1840’s gown shows the dedication one person had to infuse their clothing with lovely little floral accents. Β I wonder if she did this during the dull days of winter?

While I would make sure to wait to wear these 1920’s shoes once the snow melted, I am most certain they would boost my spirits immensely! Β Although, I would have to find a whole new outfit to match them….

With so many color and pattern choices in this 1930’s ad to choose from, I think I would like a frock in every floral pattern available!

Even though this would be a little too chilly to wear right now without a sweater, I can’t help but smile at those happy little rosebuds all over this full cotton sun dress!

Any table would instantly feel more springy and bright with a floral stand like this one from Pier One (link below.)

So until spring makes it’s way to my area, I shall find ways to bring a little more flower power into my life now!
