We're chalking up another great schoolyear to having wonderful teachers. And just in time for Mother's Day, today we are surprising them with flowers.
Each year I look for a unique container that teachers can put to use long after the flowers have wilted. This year I chose clear glass canisters accented with chalkboard labels -- a steal at World Market. (They come with chalk, so the children labeled their teachers' canisters before taping the chalk to the lid.) I filled each canister with a bouquet of tulips and finished off the arrangement with a gift tag. I love the versatility of these canisters and hope each teacher will find a perfect spot for one at home or at school.

Very pretty. Love the chalk board idea, very fitting!
This First Grade teacher would LOVE to receive such a lovely gift!
Great Idea! Happy Mother's Day!
Blessings!
What a wonderful way to show appreciation for your teacher! I wanted to let you know that I tried your recipe for Chicken Turnovers for a special Mother's Day meal, and they were a huge success. That is definitely a recipe I'll keep in my files. Thanks for sharing such great recipes and spectacular inspiration.
Amo tulipas, pena que no Brasil o clima não seja propício.
Lindo blog... beijo.
Hi there,
I have a question about your site, would you mind emailing me back @ kthomas@primroseschools.com?
Thanks,
Kathleen
Terrific pictures and what a great idea for those vases!
I am sure the gifts were much appreciated. God bless you - Marsha
Kathryn, I'm so glad the chicken turnovers turned out well for you! Your comment reminds me I need to make that recipe again soon.
We had your broccoli salad recipe for Easter...delicious.
Your photos are, as always, beautiful. Lovely ideas. :)
Hi Melissa.
What a lovely idea for the teachers. Perfect for that End-of-Year teacher gift or Teacher Appreciation week. I know I would have appreciated a gift as sweet as this!
BTW...it's me, systematically working their way through your archives. I'm gathering ideas for Mary Catherine's 7th birthday party and I know you as the "go to" lady for beautifully creative party ideas! So, not "stalking" you, just pouring through your past years' posts for wonderful ideas. Thank you!
Blessings,
Valerie
These tulip containers are so very beautiful! Wonderful gift!
