Spring Salutations!

Here is some of the Spring/Easter decorating we've been doing around here. We enjoyed several really warm days and now they are calling for snow again! Not to worry, if the ten day forecast is to be believed, the temperature will be back in the 60's by Sunday!

Chicks and bunnies from here.

Spring time mantel.

I love these little bird nests. They are actually napkin rings. I got them last year at my moms shop in Jonesborough, TN.

This was my great grandmother's view master. This card with the little girl in her bonnet just makes me smile:)

And on those pretty days... my little gardeners have been busy. They were all excited about a garden inspired "prop box" I had put together for one of my classes. When I was done with the project they got to play in the box. Thus the hats, gloves, etc:)

Valentine Vignettes

My daughter just loves holidays. After reading Manuella's blog

I was inspired to decorate our house for Valentine's Day. Nothing could have thrilled my daughter more! We were going to make a tree to decorate but alas, life has kept us busy and no ornaments have been made. We will definitely aim for that next year. Here is what we accomplished.

Our front door.

My mom had these sweet brambly and button wreaths at her shop.

A Valnetine platter a friend gave me years ago, and our cookie cutters:)

This is a shelf in our entryway. The sheet music is for "I Love You So Much It Hurts".

...and the fireplace. The running joke is, it looks like cupid threw up:)

Hope your Valentine's Day is full of love!
