Hey everyone, surprise a weekend post!
I'm popping in quickly to let you know it's time to plant your paperwhites, and Lowes
has just reduced them to 50% off. My bag of eight bulbs regularly $6.98 was $3.50,
a steal for beautiful natural Christmas decor. They're in the section with the tulip bulbs.
Last year I planted mine in inexpensive Ikea stainless steel bowls that I spiffed up with
gold paint and a gold base here.
If you need pretty inspiration for planting ideas you can find it in a post I did
last year here.
Btw, I share these kinds of tips on Instagram whenever I run across them,
if you'd like go here to follow along.
Enjoy the weekend, friends!

Thanks for reminding us it is time-I was too late planting last year and missed them so much.
Heading that way now, thanks again.

I just planted by first batch last week: see my Instagram! My one word of caution would be that bulbs on discount..or at big box stores…tend to either not grow well, or not grow at all. I've now come to only buy from the best sources: you pay a bit more but you're just about guaranteed big, beautiful flowers! And, see my helpful hint here to keep them from falling over as they get tall: http://www.libbywilkiedesigns.com/2013/12/how-to-grow-paperwhite-narcissus-bulbs.html
Yes! Give them a drink of alcohol… it really does work!
Thanks for the reminder Pam...I have so love your gorgeous paperwhites!
You're like a really great designer alarm clock, Pam :) I wouldn't have even thought about paperwhites in all of the Thanksgiving hubbub...thanks!
Thanks for the reminder, Pam! You always keep us on track!
Thanks for the tip. I'll make a trip to Lowes today!
I definitely need to do this this year!
Thanks for the reminder! I've always wanted to try them out!
I love your reminders! What would I do without you? Just added this to my to-do list for the day. :)
