Farmtable Vintage Bucket with Tulips

Do you have a spot that causes you to be continually thinking about the next fun change-up? The farm table in the Garden Room is one of those spots for me. After all the Easter bunnies and forsythia were put away, I wanted to use this big bundle of white faux tulips before (real tulips) were a thing of the past. Spring flowers and shrubs just don't last long enough!

I have vintage watering cans in several shabby spring colors, so I grabbed the green one and paired it with a vintage tea towel. These heavy linen tea towels were popular in the 60's thru 80's and many times they had calendars printed on them. No calendar on this one but some pretty Spring branches with birdies.

I brought a little pot of Baby Tears over from the window that I bought last Spring. It's done well in the Garden Room since it gets a lot of light. I have to be careful here on the table or a stealth kitty will try to nibble it down. 

The old ice cream bucket is used frequently here on the farmtable. It's just the right size for longer stems, branches, and "bunches" of faux flowers. I'd had it outside on the back porch for the summer months last year, but the squirrels started chewing on it shortly after putting it out there. They liked the salt that had seeped into the wood over the years.

So now it's my go-to flower container out here on the table

...white faux tulips, pussy willows and a bird nest.

The Garden Room has been a "decor dump" since Easter (maybe longer). It's too easy for me to drag tubs and bags in here with stray decor stuff and then stash them out of the way. So I finally got things sorted and put away properly. My husband is un-phased and never says anything, but when you're attacked by faux forsythia it's time to do something about it. 

Hope you come by Monday evening at 6:00 for
