    Daffodils are such happy flowers! I must confess, though – my eyes went directly to those fabulous Katharine Hepburn stamps. She’s my absolute favorite!

    These made me smile today! Trader Joe’s is my favorite little secret when it comes to gorgeous flowers for next to nothing – just picked up some fluffy periwinkle hydrangeas this weekend for just $5.99! So great. xx, Laura

    John – I’m a bit Katharine fan too :)

    Laura – Isn’t it though?! I usually buy their hydrangea or ranunculus, can’t get enough!

    Alie – Guilty! I love their colorful boxes and save them for all my trinkets.

    I did the exact same thing, mason jar and all! It’s so rustic and sweet and the perfect reminder that it’s spring :)

    XXo,

    They’re so lovely! I bought some lilacs (my favorite) and peonies this weekend from the farmer’s market. I love how they brighten the room.

    Trader Joe’s flowers are LOVELY, and they last for ages! Such an amazing value for only a few dollars.

    I am waiting for the ranunculus, my absolute favorite!

    What a happy way to start your day! I noticed my neighbor’s daffodils are in full bloom….just don’t think I have the nerve to snip any! Guess I’m off to Trader Joes!

    Love the daffodils – vienna is full of them right now as well. The more the merrier! And is that Katharine Hepburn in the background?

    I miss Trader Joe’s $2.00 daffodils. We have no TJ’s here in Utah. So sad.

    as an alabama transplant, living in indiana, daffodils have been a happy reminder that spring is actually coming…even when they were peeping out of the snow…
