  • Bird's Nest & Spring

    Bird's Nest & Spring

    It is so fun as I read in blogland all of the signs of spring and the wishes of spring that is just around the corner ~

    I have seen so many sweet little bird nests and it makes me happy everytime I see one !

    In California there is green all winter and in some places flowers too ~ In Texas winter is brown so spring means new green everywhere ~ there is nothing better than to see green peaking through the winter brown ~ I actually saw green in my lawn yesterday and it made me so happy !! Even though it is just the weeds because that is what turns green first, those weeds looked soooo promising of warmth and flowers to come !!

    I got the cutest most cutest little nest from Barbara Jean at Treasures from the Heart ~ It is Adorable !!! Can you tell I love it !

    I am finding myself wanting to put nests everywhere ~ This is an apothecary I made for my website but am going to keep it and put it on a bookshelf in my living room ~

    I am having a hard time finding just blue eggs ~ The ones in the baby shoe in the post awhile back where handpainted ~ Does anyone know where to find just the eggs without the nest ~

    This is not done because I am still working on it but will be soon :)

    Have a wonderful pre - spring day !

  • First Signs of Spring

    First Signs of Spring

    If you have been following my blog for very long then you know that I love sunshine and warm weather ~ I am just not a winter weather person at all, for some reason, I am not sure why ~ When all of the winter loving people get excited about wearing sweaters and playing in the snow, I try really hard to like it ~

    So I was happy to see the first signs of spring because that means flowers, sunshine, baby birds, new green growth everywhere and being able to open my windows and let the fresh air in ~

    Here are some pictures of what I have been seeing for a few days that means spring will soon be here ~

    Signs of Spring

    Spring is my favorite time of the year !! I just love the warming weather, flowers blooming, baby birds in nests, new fresh green leaves on the trees ~ I love digging in the dirt of my flower beds planting new flowers ~ It is just the best !!!
    Here are some pictures my daughter took ~ she has a wonderful eye for seeing the beauty in everything ~ they show just a touch of spring in Texas ~

    Tonight we had tornado sirens going off ~ this is a picture of the sky ~ also part of Texas in the spring ~

    This is her baby Kenzi enjoying the gorgeous weather ~~
    She is a doll !

    Everything's Coming Up Paper Roses

    I just love everything about spring !! I am very much in spring mode but it is just a tiny bit early here for flowers outside so I have been playing with flowers inside ~

  • Dallas Gift Market * Day 2

    Dallas Gift Market * Day 2

    Ohhhh what a fun day !!! Market Day 2 !!!
    Remember how I said I was going to get up bright and early to beat the crowds, well.... I didn't ~ I got there about 9:00 in the morning and hoped to get a decent parking spot but knew it would probably be on the top floor of the parking garage ~ the parking garage is off in the distance on the left of this picture ~

    Well 30 minutes later we got routed in front of the Dallas Children's Hospital to park, which is 2 exits away from the Market Center ~ it was a nice brisk walk in the freezing weather to the buildings ~

    Once I got in, I decided that I was not leaving until I saw pretty much everything ~ it is HUGE so I was there all day ~

    There were tons of pretties and I definitely spent my allotment ~ I can't wait to get it all !!! There were alot of apothecaries and cloches, which I love ! They had everything in them and they are great because you can change them with the seasons ~ I also noticed alot of birds and bird nests which are so sweet ~

    I love anything Wendy Addison ! The pink Christmas in my previous post and this Christmas tree are all her things ~
