Easter Jar

Tulips are such a cheerful flower in the spring. I've been buying myself a bouquet every time I see them at the store. Yep. Buying myself flowers. And you know why? Because I need them. For the cost of a grande latte that's gone in an hour, I can enjoy the message of hope that a vase of tulips delivers for an entire week.

These week-old Walmart tulips have seen better days, but I'm still enjoying them while I can. I thought they looked so sweet in this vintage Ball canning jar on the dining room table.

I pulled out the stamp set Friendship Jar series from Papertrey Ink and crafted an Easter card to mail this week. I had already stamped the jar on Vintage Cream card stock when I decided I wanted to use a doily for this card. But the white doily didn't quite match the softer color, so I sponged it very lightly with Fine Linen ink to give it a bit of a tea-stained effect.

Hope you are having a beautiful spring, cafe friends!
