Tuesday's Treasure ~ Ginger Jars

It's been a while since we've gone on a TT&B treasure hunt but I have been hunting and want to bring you up to speed! 

Ginger jars.

Love them.

So many things you can do with them; they go everywhere! While I don't have any surfaces to put them at the moment (another post to come on that, I need some bookshelves!) but that doesn't mean I can't start collecting!

So, here we go. Ginger jars. 

Ginger jars have a long line of history amongst Chinese culture. According to most resources, "A Ginger Jar is shaped with a wide mouth, a domed lid and a bulging, bulbous spherical hand painted body. They come in various styles and sizes and in many different colors. The true Chinese antique Ginger Jar is made of porcelain and hand painted. The jars acquired the name “Ginger Jars” because they often contained ginger (which was one of the most valuable spices at the time) when they were exported to the West."

So my lovelies, Ginger Jar treasures to fill your home on this fine Tuesday!

Bliss is Back!

Turquoise, Tulips and Bliss has been on a bit of a hiatus due solely to its "authors", i.e. me and i'm so sorry! Not making excuses but I will say that work took over my life from March to June and after a wildly successful conference mid-June, I am now beginning to feel human again! 

All of that behind us, we are back up and I am committing to returning to my favorite pastime, collecting and compiling my favorite things and sharing them with anyone and everyone! 

So, as a bit of a fresh start, I am going right back to the root of what never fails to make me smile:

Turquoise

Tulips

... and Bliss!!

Please forgive my absence and I hope you will join me back here now on a much more regular basis! 

This room... is just bliss! Turquoise accents throughout complete with fresh cut tulips - take me away!

So chic!

I would classify this as Turquoise and Bliss! How perfect would this be for a beach home? 

Beautiful white living room complete with white tulips

Lavender and Orange - an unlikely match if you had asked me but what an awesome bouquet this makes!

If only we could have magazine ready dining rooms -  with fresh tulip arrangements -- at all times! 

Who said sweet, danty tulips can't still be bold? This multi-color arrangement makes the colorful accents of the room pop all the more!


...and some words of wisdom as reminders of  how to live a life of bliss!

Tangerine Dreamin' on Tuesday!

Friends - I have missed you!
I have been terribly m.i.a. and I wish I could say it's because I've been vacationing somewhere or better yet saving the planet somewhere else, but sadly, I've been at work... A LOT! 

My life for the next 7 weeks -- well, 50 days or 7 weeks and 1 day to be exact -- is going to pretty much be nothing but work, work, work (with the except of a few dear, dear friends' weddings in there - thank goodness for having something fun to look forward to!)

So, in an effort to get my mind off of work for the past few minutes -- everyone needs a mental break now and then right? -- I thought I would fill my mind with the vibrant, exuberant Tangerine hue!

I hope this brings some brightness to your day as it has mine!  

Until I have a chance to break away again.... Cheers to Tangerine Bliss friends!!
