You just never know.......

Sunday was the JasVil Fleamarket at Whimzy! One of the things I love most about the fleamarket is even though I go out with ideas of what I am looking for, I ALWAYS find something else! These skate keys (& one fireplace key) just spoke to me and I had to have them! I received all these for just five bucks!



After wandering a bit more I found this old vase which is perfect for the boughs of heavy headed roses that are taking over my yard right now!

A few steps more and I picked up a really beautiful flower frog. Currently it is holding up the flowers in the photo of the vase! Did you know that flower frogs also work upside-down? If there are holes all the way through and it won't fit into the vase flip it and see if it works! All this fun for just $15.00! YAY!
Join me gain for the JasVil Flea the day after Glitterfest-May 23rd from 8 to 3pm to find some lovely treasures of your own!

Spring is Slowly Sprunging!

So sorry I haven't been here for a while! Glitterfest and school is keeping me quite busy these days! Busy is good, but getting dirty is better! On the rare days I have free time I have spent it cleaning up after Mother Nature. I have slug issues and I hate spending money or wasting beer on them! So it is prudent to "Martha" the garden. Anyway, here are photos of the "awakening"!

Sirens of Spring

Even though it has been raining on & off lately I have noticed the tiny buds of Spring pushing through the earth and tipping the branches of the trees all around me. All of a sudden I want to explode with fresh new ideas just like those little spring buds! So to give Spring a little spring, here is my Siren Song to the rebirth of Mother Nature's beautiful green flower covered Earth!

I am teaching this projuect on March 11th at Whimzy! for those of you that want to celebrate Spring too!

Pretty Flowers

Yes, the yard has been calling me. Like a faint sirens voice beckoning me out into her overgrown depths.
In answer to her I have pulled, trimmed, hacked in some cases, primped, and planted so she can shine with all her glory. She is doing just that right now. The birds are singing and eating and eating and eating! I discovered a crew of grossbeaks in the yard this weekend and are they beautiful. Orangey-yellow with stripes and everything! YAY!

I was slso inspired to create more hats and crowns. "Queen of the Sea" came out better than I had expected.
I am very happy with it and will be taking it to Whimzy to join the rest this week. I hope you all have a beautiful garden to enjoy and inspire you. And stop by the shop when you are in town!

Spring is Sprunging!

Oh! I can't believe that it is already spring! Not only are the Daffodils up but, flowers are blooming at Whimzy! as well. The Easter decorations are all out and really fabulous! They all have a bit of vintage flair and so remind me of the baskets we always got as kids. Fuzzy chicks, foil eggs, and an Avon trinket! I wanted to bring them all home with me! Anyway this very chic floral lamp is very springy too! I love it, and I know it will find a good home! We are currently working on forming classes for some of the handmade items in the shoppe. I will keep you posted! Spring has sprung! YAY!
