Tulips vs. Mums

Last week I decided to start my own One-Bouquet-a-Week Challenge to teach myself how to start creating better flower bouquets. And you should know I'm no quitter: here are some pics of this week's concoctions.

The first is a mix of tulips and some random pink, weed-ish flower that I got at Trader Joe's. I originally bought some yellow button mums to go with the tulips; however, this IS a learning exercise, and those tulips quickly taught me that they were just not digging those mums. (Or at least not until I get better at this.)

The second bouquet is my first use of a cute little bud vase I got for Christmas. And can I just say--bud vases! Where have you been all my life? I am loving having this small, sweet bouquet by my bed (there's one in the bathroom, too, filled with the uncooperative button mums). It's such a perfect way to wake up a room.

Two weeks and counting! Best challenge ever. Just sayin'.
