25 Cent Toolbox Centerpiece

I've had this metal toolbox kicking around in the garage for awhile. Purchased for a whopping 25¢, it even came with tools!

On Friday, I spray painted it my favorite aqua/turquoise color and filled it with Martha Washington geraniums. A cute centerpiece in a matter of minutes.

I decided I needed a table runner so at noon, with company arriving at 5, I whipped up this white burlap runner, inspiration from here.

FYI, four layers of burlap is a real pain to sew through. Aaahh but in the end, so worth it!

Feeding Ducks & A Couple Roosters Too

We went and fed some of our local ducks today. They came waddling right over to see what we were offering. Two roosters didn't want to be left out of the feeding frenzy either. Boy did we jump when they let out a loud cockle doodle doo!

Bunnies Welcome Spring

I wanted to do a little spring sewing, so I whipped up a few bunnies to add to my etsy shop.
They make a sweet one-of-a-kind Easter basket filler.
But I think they look positively charming in a spring vignette!

Liberty Of London

Free time today sans 2 little girls. What do you suppose I did?
I wandered around Target for 2 hours!
I had to check out the new merchandise by Liberty of London for Target.

Wow, what a great collaboration with lots of cute items!
Many items were already sold out where I was, but I did grab a pair of wellies. Aren't they the sweetest?


I might have to get back to the store and buy another pair for the girls to wear 'cause I'm thinking these look too cute filled with pink tulips sitting on our mantel...

They make me smile!
