~spring wreath~

Hello friends!

I am officially.....anxiously......

impatiently waiting on spring......

yesterday it was sunny and beautiful.....

and the air smelled so fresh & wonderful.....

today ~ not so much.....back to rain

rain

rain

rain

partially sunny forecasted for

 S  a  t  u  r  d  a  y 

come on......spring....!

I'm ready to welcome spring!

ready for daffodils, hyacinths, lilacs,

tulips.....sunshine.....

one of the saving graces is the happy birds

chirping outside my window.....

love that!

the sweet sounds of birds in the garden

bring me a lot of joy.....

and the smell of lavender.....

can't get enough ~ :)

I picked up this fun wreath at an

antique show over the weekend....

I met up with Kathleen from

Faded Charm....you know White Wednesdays?

she's awesome & we've met up

several times at different antique malls & stuff...

so I did a little fluffing this morning....

I'm embarrassed to say this window

in my living room sat empty

since um....Christmas.....

the shame.....

and "you call yourself a blogger"

hee hee....now you all know!

:)

I'm really loving our sisal rug

we got a few months ago.....

you can see just a peek of it here

but it really adds so much warmth to the room....

we will probably be painting this room

in the next few months....

I really like the texture on the wall ~

but the "parchment paper" look

tends to look a little more yellow than I want....

I'm on the hunt for sconce lights or maybe

candelabra/sconce lights for either side

of the window......

I'm not sure I'm going to leave it (the window) there

long term or maybe move a big mirror

I have into it's place...

I've always loved this little table

I picked up a few years ago....

it may or may not stay but I do love it......

on a side note....

I got some very fun items in the mail

recently.......

isn't the packaging darling???

have you been to Lori's site?

she has a wonderful blog

and a

 "brick & mortar" store

called Round Barn Potting Company

and let me tell you....she is a accessorizing,

vignette creating NINJA!

you will gain so much inspiration from

her site....go check! :)

these are cute little paper pulp pots....

they look like aged cement....

can't wait to put something in them...

and show you

she sent me some beautiful cards along with

the package ~ she also designs greeting

cards!

apparently the pots look awesome stamped so,

I'm thinking about trying "the citra-solv

transfer method"...on them....maybe I'll

transfer some kind of fun graphic!

fun to look forward to ~

well that's it for today!

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

xoxo,
