Tulips

You'd think the first place for flowers in the house would be the dining table, or maybe the entry room, but I love flowers in the bathroom.
Especially when they were given to you from a friend who bought them from a kid in support of Amigos de las Americas. (thanks, Cyndi!)
I found this vase designed especially for tulips at Judi Tavill's etsy shop:
I love the way SimplyModern paints the sides of these wooden pendants and signs the back (artfordailylife!):ArguingTheMobius makes these origami tulips in Cork, Ireland. She has an awesome photo of her henna tattoo on her blog.
I have been fascinated with all the Gocco goings-on lately. Here is a tulip print from SarahParrott's etsy shop:

    Thanks for looking, Laura.
    I love the quote on your latest blog post:
    “As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” - Henry David Thoreau

    And I keep trying to find an explanation of your name...arguing the mobius...surely there is a story there?

    What a lovely post, so many unique items and just perfect for this time of year, when we can appreciate the tulips outside for such a short period of time. I love a bouquet of white and dark purple tulips best, so much more dramatic than pastels.

    Thanks to all of you who took the time to comment on my blog!
    I'd say the origami tulips were a big hit.
    And, Mrs French, talking about tile is my very favorite subject...sly smile...
    I have had fun trotting out to everyone's blogs and looking around.
