An Easter peek.............

It may not seem like it now but Easter is coming! Remember it is early this year (the end of March). I'm giving you a sneak peak of some of the pages from a Vintage Easter Album I'm making to post on Ebay.

Although it's hard to see in the photos, I used Twinkling H2O paints to tint the toddlers dress. It has a subtle shimmer to it. I love to use these paints! They are great to tint black and white photo copies.

Just a little chocolate bunny humor.......

The Spring Pie Safe

My oak pie safe is one of my favorite pieces of furniture I own. The outside inserts in the door are 3 sheets of copper with a wheat pattern punched into them, however I change the display in the pie safe seasonally and for holidays so I keep the door open most of the time. One day when the door was open I asked my husband, "do you think those wood inserts come out of the inside of the door?" and the next thing you know he had the drill going taking them out and I was painting on them. Now the 3 inside door inserts get changed seasonally as well as contents! I love decorating it and most of the things I have either made my self, bought or got as gifts from friends. I hope you enjoy viewing the spring contents of the pie safe and the door inserts! I'll post close ups of the contents tomorrow.

It's Spring.....Oh really!?!?!?!

The calendar says it's officially spring, however I'm not so sure! Today it alternated between what can best be described as "chunky gobs of rain" and snow flakes. So what can be done to chase away winter and cheer on the arrival of spring? If in doubt......I say.....decorate! I have a pencil tree that I keep up in my house year around and I decorate it seasonally and for holidays. Now, I do have friends who think it's crazy to do this but it makes me happy! I finished decorating it for spring tonight. The majority of the ornaments I made last year. Does anybody else out there in blogland have a tree they decorate seasonally?
