Spring Things & an Easter Give Away!

Happy First Full Day of Spring to you! Here is a little story about my Saturday.......read clear to the bottom so you know what to do for the Easter Giveaway!

It started early with a yummy cup of cinnamon coffee...........

Next I headed to the studio to work on this little wooden/metal school chair, circa 1950s. It's was from a kindergarten room. I had it for years and decided this was the day to do something with it! About an hour later this is what I came up with.......

Then I headed outside to spray a clear coat on the bunny pots that I'm taking to a spring open house in April. Notice the large smile on my face.....this is before the clear coat fumes hit me with their full force and made me a little goofy (more so than usual) with a headache!

Here are a few of the 16 pots all sealed and ready to be packed up! The one that says "Riley" is for my great-neice. The big pots make great "Easter Basket" pots. So I'll fill hers with candy, coloring books, bubbles, a kite.....you know all the cool little junky things you get in your Easter basket! I think these are the "green" solution to the plastic Easter baskets because you'll actually keep them and use them year after year. The small pots are nice to fill with foil wrapped candy. I'll be at the Spring open house to personalize them with names on April 4th.
The pots also look great filled with tulips or other flowers. You could also fill them with packets of seeds, a pair of gloves and a trowel for as a gift for a gardener.

So my day was very productive! How was yours? I want to hear about it!

Now here's the Easter Give Away announcement!
I will be randomly drawing a winner for this "R is for Rabbit" Easter Collage on April 1st.

The collage measures 5 inches wide by 8 inches long and has been created on a 1/2 inch wood base. The bunny's face has been hand painted. A little sign down the side of the collage reads "hope springs eternal in the human heart". It has been embellished with many little paper do-dads and a copy of two rabbits kissing from a vintage postcard.
