oh, and happy, happy friday.
i splurged this friday and bought myself some quince blossoms. they come around so rarely i just had to have them. i hope y’all buy yourself some flowers this weekend, too. you deserve it! it’s a long weekend here in the states, and monday’s a holiday, so i’ll see you all back here on tuesday! have a wondrous weekend!
A painting my Juan Sánchez Cotán titlted “Quince, Cabbage, Melon and Cucumber”, 1602 is absolutely my favorite design featuring a quince bar none. Seriously, I didn’t even know that fruit existed until the seeing the seminal painting! Enjoy the bloom.

That is exactly what I plan on doing tomorrow. Buy a fresh bunch of flowers. Have a fab weekend, Victoria.
good for you, igor! buy some pretty ones! have a great weekend!
Oh, those are absolutely gorgeous!! I’m really looking forward to splurging on some purple flowers for our Mardi Gras feast this coming week. I wish fresh cut flower splurges were a weekly occurrence around here <3
I love flowers and those are lovely, have a great long weekend!.
I think I will buy myself some flowers this weekend. Excellent idea. Thanks for the swell suggestion. I think that pink is the perfect shade for my bedroom. Would you mind sharing which color it is?
:) sure – it’s benjamin moore’s “wispy pink”. it’s much lighter than this photo.
Your choices are always so right on. moving out of my bf’s house, the only thing i miss are the quince blossoms raging right now. thanks
quince is my favorite… i’ve bought it every year on my birthday for the past 10 years. and, aren’t they perfect in your wispy pink room?

Lovely colors and photo, especially the photo in the background.
Ahhh they have a peaceful element to them. :) Happy weekend.
Just gorgeous :)
Enjoy those flowers and I think I’ll do the same to spruce up my home. Have a great one!
Great photo! I bought some cherry blossoms for myself on Valentines day. Love them and the way them smell a bit like pepper in my mind!
they are really fabulous! happy weekend
Just lovely!
Happy weekend to you. Those dark quince blossoms are the perfect shade of rosy, salmon, pink. I love when my parent’s quince blooms against their weathered grey, cedar fence.
They are gorgeous, and I love your photo!
pretty flowers and beautiful room! that lovely pink makes me want to buy a little doll-house home for myself so i can paint the walls whatever color i want rather than deal with what i have now – the landlord’s unimaginative and uninspiring white paint – very stark in a north-facing apartment (why, oh why, did i ever choose this place?)!
enjoy the day!

oh, so ‘that’s’ what that bush by the forsythia is!
Thanks! My mom’s always just called it the pink bush that’s out by the yellow bush! :D
I only wish the season were a bit longer for quince. They make me so very happy. Yours look perfect in that spot, love the arched doorway, the light fixture…very pretty.
I like that light! and never have enough flowers at home…
I didn’t know about Quince Blossom (maybe because I live up north?!), I love it!
