When we did go to the Dutch King's Birthday Celebration, we all received a lovely bouquet of Orange Tulips at the end of the evening. So I want to share these lovelies with you here.
In our veranda in a Baccarat crystal jug.
There were many business sponsors for the wonderful event and one of them was:
Hyatt Place Atlanta - Perimeter Center
It was a lovely time, even though we went three days in a row back and forth to Atlanta.
To Naylor Hall, it was a one-way trip of 155 miles or some 250 km.
Next day we did go back for picking up a dear friend at the Atlanta Airport International Terminal
To Naylor Hall, it was a one-way trip of 155 miles or some 250 km.
That was another round trip of 400 km or 250 miles!
Blissful time we had... Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

They are beautiful. One of my favorite colours. Deb

Ziet er vrolijk uit die oranje tulpen. Dat zijn wel afstanden daar in Amerika, een beetje van hier naar Parijs of Berlijn en weer terug.
ReplyDeleteBeste Marianne,

Liefs,

Dearest Mariette; What an honor to receive such a lovely bouquet of Orange Tulips♡♡♡ Tulips can be said representing your birth country, can't they♪ Orange is my favorite color as well.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for my recent absence Dear friend, wishing you have a wonderful coming new week.

Lieve Mariette ,
ReplyDeleteik moet nog altijd wennen aan koningsdag ..ik zeg nog
regelmatig koninginnedag .....
Wat een mooie kleur tulpen ....echt Nederlands
ik wens jullie een fijne week toe ..
veel liefs Nieneke
Lieve Nieneke,
DeleteJa, dat doe je inderdaad automatisch!
Wij vierden het de eerste keer op Curaçao toen we die dag op het vliegveld, voor ons vertrek zo vorstelijk onthaald werden op allerlei lekkers uit Nederland.
Die tulpen zijn gegarandeerd ingevlogen voor de gelegenheid; mooie afronding van een geslaagd feest!
Jij ook heel veel beterschap nog en liefs.
Mariette
I usually pick up tulips at our local Trader Joe's when they have them. I spy little KLM Dutch houses on you window sill. I have a collection from when we flew back and forth! Have a nice week...Janey
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
DeleteYou are lucky for having your own local Trader Joe's as we must drive over two hours one-way to ours! Yes, they often have lovely cut flowers and I wish we could live near one.
Yes, you detected the blue KLM houses rightly and we just received a lovely gift from friend Mariëlle who carried us the latest version, which can be purchased directly from KLM. We have the complete series and want to still buy each year the newest one for as long as we got some windowsil space...
Hugs and happy new week.
Mariette
Dearest Julie,
ReplyDeleteThank you and it sure was a welcome gift!
Hugs,
Mariette
Mariette,
ReplyDeleteI've missed a few of your posts, so I went back and caught up on all the celebrations. I loved your orange outfit that you wore for the occasion! The tulips are very pretty, and a happy reminder of your time. Glad you had a nice visit with your friend, but what a lot of driving! Have a good week. xo
Dearest Deborah,
DeleteKnowing how precious time is, I myself have a hard time keeping up with blogging... But we did have some very special events and happy times.
The driving here in the USA is always a lot, especially compared to the tiny country of The Netherlands!
Hugs,
Mariette
The tulips are beautiful! Lovely colour! I hope next year I can visit Holland again!
DeleteDearest Mei,
DeleteThank you and yes, you easily can being that close to it; always a lovely show at Keukenhof!
