It has been a long time coming...but finally little buds, shoots and leaves are springing up everywhere!
With all this beauty, I might even wear my spring rainboots to work in the flower beds more often (who am I kidding). I can't take any credit for our plantings. It's all him. Every part of our yard.
Thank you for making it so pretty, Chris.
It even has all its marbles.
I believe I've started a Chinese checkerboard collection!!
Speaking of collections, I had picked up several children's record albums several years ago to hang in Emma's nursery. I unpacked them when my craft room was finished and Chris hung them on the bulk head.
I found several others on Sunday.
I especially like the graphics from the Three Little Kittens record.
I'm a sucker for vintage Children's books...especially those with beautiful illustrations.
When I saw this owl book, I knew I had to have it for my Halloween collection.
Speaking of illustrations, this is a magazine cover from 1925.
Can you tell I'm having fun decorating my craft room? Believe it or not, I have more purchases to unveil. I just need to get some things painted/fixed up a bit first. Thanks for letting me show you around my craft room. Be sure to come back!
We're so proud of her flute playing and her dedication to getting up very early to attend band practice before her elementary school starts.
Way to go, sweetheart!!
Our sitter is moving back across the state in 2 weeks for the summer. Why oh why, didn’t we take advantage of her more often? She’s an Education major at the same college that Chris and I met at. She even works at Josie’s daycare and Josie is extremely comfortable with her. Bottom-line, she's just the perfect babysitter. I can’t wait until Emma is old enough to watch Josie. Even though I love my girls, those date nights are priceless.
I promise to post pictures of my latest acquisitions from this past weekend's antique market soon. I have some sanding and painting to do first (actually...Chris has some sanding and painting to do first) hee hee.
Despite the dismal weather conditions, my mom, sister and myself made at least 3 trips to my van. Some of those trips, were to warm up. I told you we were dedicated to this event!!!
Just wait until you see my acquisitions. I think I've just increased the cute factor in my craft room today BIG TIME!! I promise to post pictures later this week.
Send me your postal address and I'll get your shabby chic supplies in the mail this week. My email address link is available on the right sidebar.
I don't care if we have to cover ourselves in garbage bags, my Mom, sister and I are still going to the Allegan Antique market. Actually, I decided with the weather predictions, here was my excuse to go buy those Liberty of London rainboots I've been coveting. Aren't they cute?
It's been five months since the Allegan Antique market was open and I've been counting down the months/days/hours.
Maybe the dealers will haggle with inclement weather?? One year, I got this children sized table/chair set for a steal. Chris and I jazzed it up with a bit of fresh paint and and my mother painted on a few pretty flowers.
It's the perfect setting for a tea party or sisterly chat.
I'm so ready for the hunt!!
I ordered two necklaces. One for my sister for Mother's day and one for myself.
If you looking for a gift that makes a difference, this is perfect.
2. Cut your sheet music to the width of your jar and cover. I overlapped the edges of the music.
4. I then covered the lace with a strip of pink tulle and tied the tulle into a knot. I secured a costume jewelry earring onto the center of my tulle knot and hot glued a couple of silk flowers around my earring.
