SPRING FEVER!!!!

Img_7773_edited1

Hello my sweet lovely friends! Glad you could stop by and pay me a visit. The past couple of days here in the deep south have been absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Gorgeous blue skies and mild warm sunny weather. I am having MAJOR spring fever!!!! I laugh because we are still in mid February and Valentines Day hasn’t even approached us, and yet I’ve moved on to decorating and crafting for Easter! I’ve noticed MANY other artist have too. 😉 

I’ve pulled Miss Bunny out of storage. She says "Hello & Welcome!"

Ok, just so you know. I have NOT pulled out the Easter decor yet. This is just a few samples of what’s to come. 🙂

I have FINALLY finished creating all of my V-day swaps, and with spring close by and Easter approaching us soon I could NOT resist creating something sweet and whimsical for Easter.

I created some Easter ornaments and this is the Pink Easter Bunny Ornament. I used velvet ribbon, millinery,feathers, plastic eggs, vintage child image, and chenille to create this precious little piece.

Thank you Maria and Kelly. I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness!

Many of you know Miss Jessi Nagy. We met at Silver Bella and we kid and joke with each other that we are siblings. She’s my big SIS beacause everyone says we look alike. Jessi and I have a great friendship and she has blessed me with some super fun and fabulous gifts. Well, I got a package in the mail last week from Miss Jessi and low and behold it was an early b-day gift. She saw it, thought of me and couldn’t resist buying it. I opened the package and let out a HUGE squeel!!! It was a vintage baby planter. I have a serious collection growing and when I saw this planter I just "oooh’d and aaah’d" over it’s sweetness!

It’s displayed with all of my other little lovelies.
