Oh Happy Days!! It hit a whopping 65 degrees here today! And for the first time, in almost two weeks we saw the sun! The snow, which gradually had been melting nearly all disappeared! I spent the day enjoying the weather and adding a few touches of spring to my home!
I took a picture of a cardinal yesterday. The one side of our yard slopes, and we get all the runoff from the woods. See all of the snow still around him.
Here is that same area today! Go snow, Go!
And over here. Just a wee bit of snow left around the edge of the woods.
And with the snow melting and the sun shining I decided to add a little Easter and Spring to my window ledge.
A homemade Easter Tree. I spray painted the container white, grabbed some old branches, added some eggs and ribbon and for hardly any moola, I have an Easter Tree.
Here, I used some ribbon and flowers to make a springy arrangement in the little watering can.
I added this ceramic bunny that I won last year from Gloria @ Happy to Be and topped it off with the tag that Karen from Some Days are Diamonds so lovingly made! Thanks Ladies!!
I love that these window's have such wide ledges! They are great for vignettes and I love to change them to match the seasons! On this one, I used a little tray, added my apple tea-pot, a little white cup and saucer, .70 cents at TJ Maxx and the spoon that Sherry made for all of us at our recent luncheon.
I recently found an old book of songs for a mere $2. They seem to be all the rage right now and this book has lot's of neat old songs in it. My Mom has always loved this one. She has many relatives in Kentucky and one of her dreams is to go to the Kentucky Derby. I found the frame in a free box at a garage sale and I added some lace, buttons and tea dyed the little flowers! I have plans for more crafts with some of the other pages. My Mom liked it and now she is dreaming of the Kentucky Derby!
Well that's it for my little bit of Spring-i-fying!
I am adding to the following blog parties!

ReplyDeleteOH NO! It all melted! I'm sad. But I know you are lovin' it! And so is your Cardinal from the looks of him.
ReplyDeleteVery cute stuff and how fun you got to use all your bloggy friends things in the vignette! Now you'll think of us even when you aren't on the computer! (are you sure you want that?) :)
Off to finish up my 24 "meet and greet" swaps for Savannah. They'll be IN THE MAIL tomorrow! WHOO HOOOOO!

We had a glorious day today also. I spray painted!! 65 degrees is practically bikini weather where I live...if one is inclined to wear a bikini, of course :)
ReplyDeletelove the flowers and the wonderful spring look with the bumble bee, I have to know though, what did you decide about the bears and the birds....maybe the change in weather will help that situation...phyllis

The yard will be green as ever by Easter I bet!!!!
Love your goodies and that song book is quite the fund, we were land owners in Kentucky for about 14 months, a few years back, but got a Great offer to sell it, we did not even have it up for sale so we took the offer!!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Spring metamorphosis, Cindy.
ReplyDeleteWhen we drove across the bridge at Jefferson City, on our way home from the lake yesterday, the Missouri River was really up. Haven't seen the Mississippi, yet, but I imagine it is up too. I told J, the snow must be melting up north.:-)
Isn't it grand when you can see bare ground again? You Mama will treasure your Kentucky creation, it's just stunning. I love your little Easter tree but oh darlin' that little caged up bunny is to die for. Just sweet, Cindy. I always want to pack a bag and trot right over when I visit here.
ReplyDeleteGod bless and have a Marvelous Monday!!!

Oh doesn't it just make you feel so much better when the weather warms a little and the sun shines. Your spring decor is so pretty. And that old dirty white snow is finally melting away. It is a big sigh of relief.
ReplyDeleteI love your Spring-i-fying. I know what you mean about go, snow, go. We still have remaining snow around the woods too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and your sweet comments.
Have a wonderful week
