DeDutch Tulip Party


Tulips: My all time favourite flower! Sadly, we can't all move to the Netherlands and spend our days biking through tulip fields (sigh) so a few fresh cut flowers on the coffee table will have to do.

Now, I might be pushing it but I do believe that tulip season is right around the corner... Yah! You can't deny that they're pretty and I like to think that everybody smiles when they see them (*insert more girlie statements).

Tulips come in an array of colours and you can usually find some well priced flowers at the markets. Since I'm a notorious plant killer, flowers are a perfect alternative because they're temporary! One day I'll figure out how to keep my plants alive, but in the meantime I'll happily stick to cacti and cut flowers.

Tip: To keep them standing upright longer, gently poke them with a safety pin. I honestly don't know why this works but I promise that they'll shoot back to life for another day or so.
