Birdies and Bunnies...It Is Spring!!!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!!

and I have decided to finally change

a few decorations....

it's only been over a year...

I think it's time!

Since my daughter was married and

moved out last summer,

and taken the piano with her

(one of my main decor spots)

I haven't been real motivated

to change anything.

I have 2 tall bookcases

in the corners on my sitting room

that have had the same things on top

of them since February 2011!

Time for a change!

A small one, but a change none the less...

There are birdies in the sitting room!

I made the topiary a while ago out of coffee filters.

 And bunnies in the kitchen!

Love this little guy! You can see a little of the glitter on him...

These pie safes are my pantry, since my small kitchen has none.  They're probably one (or 2) of the best things I ever purchased!

So what are those little green beans, you may ask???

They are dyed white navy beans!

Check out Lookie What I Did

to see how it's done!

Genius!

So after a year of looking at the same thing,

this is a refreshing change!

I'm linking up with Kathleen at Faded Charm

for White Wednesday.

White Wednesday fun!

Thanks for stopping in today!

Have a wonderful day!

White Wednesday

A few weeks ago

I received a surprise package from

my mom in Colorado.

Inside was this beautiful

lace collar!

Isn't it gorgeous?!

I'm trying to figure out what to do with it,

or how to display it...

Any ideas?

Do tell!!!!

I'm all ears!

What's Up?

So, what have I been up to lately?

Making some of these...

...out of Hershey's Nuggets, and putting them in little bags!

LOTS of little bags!

Why?

(you can probably guess!) 

:)

My daughter is getting married next month!

The shower is this weekend,

so I've been busy preparing!

I'm hoping that next week I will have

lots of pictures to share with you.

Have a

WONDERFUL

WHITE

WEDNESDAY!

OH!

Looks like I'm getting close to 150 followers!

Since I missed the 100 mark,

I'll see if I can put together a giveaway for 150!

But it will probably have to wait

until after the wedding...

So keep a' look-out!

White Wednesday 101

Last weekend was our annual 

neighborhood rummage sale!

I did not have time to put together my own sale,

nor did I have much time to plunder, unfortunately.

But I did manage to find a couple

of white treasures to share for

Faded Charm's

White Wednesday!

I'm always on the look-out for 

crocheted doilies,

tablecloths,

and vintage jewelery

to use in my crafting!

I think this pin would look nice on a journal.

Cameos are ALWAYS a good find!

And isn't she adorable!

Another good journal or

altered canvas piece!

But here is my favorite find!

A crocheted lace and pearl collar!

I don't think I could have too many of these!

Even though I really don't know what

I will do with them.

Do you have any suggestions???

Happy White Wednesday Hugs!

Inspiration

Inspiration is EVERYWHERE!

There are so many things

that catch my eye,

and I think,

"Someday, I would like to try that!"

If I had a book to hold

everything I would like to make

it would fill many volumes in a library....

~ But this ~

This was just what I needed

to get myself off my seat

and actually create!

Karen over at Todolwen made this beautiful

sewing kit from a 

Bath & Body Works Wallflowers box.

Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen?!

(You need to go to her blog & see all the goodies she has packed inside this little box!  It's incredible!)

And here is my version:

 What started out as my own sewing box...

 ended up a "nature" box!

(which is why there's pattern paper covering the inside instead of sheet music!)

 Stamped muslin and sprigs of lavender cover the inside of the box lid.

 And little inspirations of nature fill the bottom.

 

 This was to be a Mother's Day gift for my mom,

so I wanted to fill it with things she likes...

like lavender and bird houses!

I'm hoping to find more of these little boxes at

Bath & Body Works so I can make more!

Linking up with 

Kathleen at Faded Charm

for 

White Wednesday #99!

Have a Wonderful Day!

Hugs!
