IT'S PAPERWHITE TIME

Paperwhites are by far one of my favorite things about

the holiday season.

Does anyone else get excited about planting Paperwhites

at Christmas time? I absolutely love them.

I love their delicate look, and

I love their heavenly aroma.

I picked up this bag of twenty five bulbs at Sam's Club last week for

about twelve dollars.

Any container will do for paperwhites.
I prefer a tall glass vase
to show off their great root system
and to support their stems and leaves.



Your can plant paperwhites in potting soil or do what I do
and use river rocks.
You can get them at any crafting center.
I picked this bag up at Walmart for
four dollars.



We are decorating Early here at Buttermilk Cottage. This year
we are once again hosting The Fiber Arts Show and Sale
one week before Thanksgiving.
You can read about the show here.


The instructions on the box said the flowers would bloom
in about six weeks. I've found through experience, in my sunny
room, they only take about three and a half.
They're at their peek at five and
fading by week number six.




I like to start a second and sometimes a third batch week
after week to have them blooming all during
the holiday season.




Here's a peek at mine after the first week.
It's just about time to get batch number two
into the water.

I will be linking with Cindy at
