I was visiting Lowes Home Store recently when I noticed they had a great rack filled with about to die flowers and plants. I picked this great purple bloom up for only $2 and it was lived for nearly two weeks. That is a better buy then getting fresh cut flowers that don’t last as long. Super smart! This is a tip I am going to check on all summer long as and alternative to the florist. The cactus was already on my table.
The vintage Christmas bulb wreaths continue. After making this Christmas version and then this Valentines Day version followed by this St. Patrick’s Day version I knew I had to make a red, white and blue Patriotic Vintage Bulb Wreath. I hung it up for Memorial Day and will leave it up since June 14th is Flag Day and then of course for July 4th. I found the star wreath form at a thrift store for only two bucks and since I have a ton of vintage and found Christmas bulbs in endless supply I thought why not! What other holiday can I make a wreath for? Â Â Hmmmmmm do they make black and orange Christmas bulbs? Let the hunt begin.
To say I am wreath obsessed is really an understatement. I now have created wreaths for every major holiday. Minor holidays here I come: President’s Day, National Cupcake Day – so many options! Here is the latest: a plastic Easter egg, mini carrot, feather and bird wreath. To view some of Lovely Lula’s previous Easter posts see below.

During Christmas I made a Vintage Christmas Bulb Wreath and loved it so much that I thought why not keep going for all different holidays and times of the year. I had a great time making this one for Valentines Day and so I thought hey since I still have more bulbs around why not create a vintage bulb wreath for St. Patrick’s Day. I ended up getting this garland covered four leaf clover at Micheal’s for only five bucks. Then I used left over green and gold bulbs to cover it. Love and Luck O’ The Irish!!
After I created my vintage bulb Valentine’s Day wreath I had bulbs and glass hearts left over as well as a few other Valentine’s Day items that I put all together to create a vitrine and a vignette scene. Ahh love – plus pink and red oh my!
