Spring has Sprung!

The grass has riz....I wonder where them birdies is?

I have been lollygagging around - not quite feeling myself

but not quite sick - somewhere in between.  I thought

maybe if I shared this little Spring vignette I might make

us all feel a little more hopeful that the rain/snow will

stop and the sun will shine again!

I got the adorable felted wool bunnies at a thrift store

down Island.   They, and a few nests with birds and eggs

are my only Spring/Easter decor at the moment.

The little round brass frame was 99 cents with a picture

cut out of a magazine from the 50's in it.  I replaced it with

a little collage I made with graphics from Karen at the

Graphics Fairy.  I love the tarnished brass and the little

dimpling along the frame - it has a lovely old chain to

hang from too.

The bird's nest below was totally covered in 80's style

dried flowers that were so dusty and old they almost

scared me off of spending the whopping 50 cents this nest was

priced at....but a little peeling of good old glue gun sticky

and off came the old.  A quick rinse and laid out to dry

removed most of the old dust.  Now a lovely little

ceramic robin calls it home (altho the eggs should be

blue - no?).  A modest few silk flowers and voila - a whole new look!

My little white ceramic bird was a gift from a Christmas

party exchange.  I held onto her while people were stealing

and exchanging gifts all around me!

The whole little vignette is comprised entirely of thrift

store finds with the exception of the white bird. Even the

lamp was a thrifty find at $5. The silver tray the bunnies

are sitting on - $3.

Now....c'mon Spring....we're ready!!

d me.
