SPRING COLLECTIONS

Here we are in the middle of May, and it's raining today.  All I want is some beautiful weather to be able to go outside to enjoy my garden.  

Since I'm unable to do that, I thought I would take some pictures of some of my collections that  give me that spring feeling. 


I  love this cup...so sweet. :)


A vintage business card.


Luckily, I cut these a couple of days ago, before we had bad weather.   They're holding up spectacularly!  These were clipped from the same bush that the picture is of at the top of my blog.  They're called French Vanilla...yummy!!


 

These bunnies are so sweet.  This is an antique painting I purchased from Good Goods.  It's about 100 years old.  I have it hanging in my mudroom.

I'm planning on visiting Good Goods soon to take some pictures of their wonderful shop to show all of you. 


Here's how I've displayed one of  the business cards.  I especially love the eggs in this one.


I hope your having better weather wherever you are.  If not, hopefully these pictures have added a little sunshine to your day. 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.  I love to hear from you!!

  5. Nope, raining here all day (Ohio). We were supposed to have thunder storms but none of those yet. Had to turn on the heat, again.
    I haven't even gotten to plant outdoors yet. They say the week after Mothers Day to plant ......I'm late. Hope the sun shines tomorrow.

  12. Beautiful photos, you have a way with sweet vignettes. Our weather, here in southern Manitoba, has been in the low 80's for the past two weeks and I am LOVING it!!!
