tulips in bloom

Tulips seem to be in vogue now, I find them wherever I go. What a hip chair to have an everlasting tulip to make one smile in any room. I would love this in a girl's room!

sitting pretty

Today, I will be sitting pretty at a luncheon organized by "Pretty Pink Tulips" along with none other than our very own "Eddie Ross" and Jaithan right here in the land of Westchester.

The above artwork happens to be the latest header that I illustrated for "Pretty Pink Tulips" - You may recall I had illustrated a bike for her with a basket of pretty pink tulips, however since summer is over, it was time to put the bike away.

Did you know that if you put a copper penny or two in a vase of tulips, they will sit up straight? After all, my dutch Mother-law knows all about pretty tulips.

I learned from Eddie that tulips still grow after they are cut. Imagine that!

I love that we can all share so many pretty things with one another here in blog-land.

all prettied up

Do you remember when I posted this home? Eddie Ross had posted photos and I was inspired to capture the grace of this gal long before she had her very own blog. As an artist, when the inspiration comes, there is an immediate connection. I illustrated her pretty home and gifted it to her. I do believe in giving and spreading pretty karma.
I have learned that good deeds create good auras. When, Elizabeth contacted me to tell me that she wanted to start a blog and was wondering if I would illustrate her header and blog artwork.
Now, gussy yourself up and pop on over to "pretty pink tulips" and see her all prettied up now.

My Mother always told me "pretty is as pretty does!"
