Happy Springtime!

Hey all! WE MADE IT! It's the first day of Spring! Time to carry your Easter purses, get the garden ready and start dreaming about flowers!

I sorted through my tablecloths and found the most cheerful!

Last year's flowers and a Welcome Spring wreath!I bought a few pansies, which is all that were out, but they sure are pretty!

Later, pix of the redecorated back porch! I completely changed from the Camps and Cottages look and ...well, it's a surprise. More later! Looks like we are gonna have a pretty day to be outside!

Here comes Peter Cottontail!

Rock picture, the find of the weekend!

Most of you know my living room, aka,"The Opium den"...I found this rock picture, and my photography and cheap camera doesn't do it justice, but it is gorgeous! Pinks, golds, etc..made from tiles, rocks, gravel and other objects!

One end is a mountain and a tree-

the other end is a pagoda.

I found another one at the same time, it's a peacock on a limb. Awesome -but it was made to be in my daughter's pad! Pix later. The fun part is I had been seeing them for 3 weeks in the back of a thrift store, but refused to pay $25.00 a piece for them. They are worth it, but this is a place that usually is cheapo cheapo! They took 60% off, and then the lady lowered it to seven dollars a piece if I bought them both!

I love my rock pictures!

Spring?

Well, I woke up this morning to about 4 inches of snow. The weekend was pretty nice, so it's not expected to stay around long, and I hope not -because I am working on my deck/back porch, Springing forward!I dug out all my pinks and other pastel tableclothes...got all my bright bird vases, etc. out of storage and went thrifting to try and find some inspiration...

I found some goodies, some of which I'll post tonight. But this little planter pot that I bought because it was yellow, turned out to have an owl on the front, made up by flowers. It's marked Roseville. I just liked it.As you can see, I also collect bright colored vases -

Can you see the owl? I didn't at first. Also, I tried putting my vintage decals on my metal kitchen cabinet, and it sort of fell apart. I decided to leave it, though, because it looks like it's been there a long time!

Well, it's Monday, so I'd better start getting ready for work.. Have
a great Monday and week...More tonight.

Duh! Winning!

It's hard to see how neat these are, but they have different twenties movie stars, like Rudolf Valentino, on the inside. You can see them through the little "windows". The outside have flappers, Charlie Chaplin, etc...and say "Roaring Twenties". There are four..and they will be part of the give a way...

Tablecloths

I love to look at other's tables, table settings and tablecloths. At the online shop Retro Redheads, they always have the cutest table settings that match and enhance the tablecloths. I'd like to see your collections! Tonight, I will try to take some better pix of tablecloths and settings. Show me yours!!

Wednesday....and half way to the weekend!

This is the Zootsuit yard last Spring

I'm gonna meditate on these pix til it comes true.

It is warmer here, and this weekend I will rake my garden and hopefully till it to get ready for planting some lettuce and other goodies!
