A Touch of Spring

Just cluster a single type of bloom in a pretty container and it can brighten your day.
Nothing can wake up a tired room like a "Touch of Spring."


Spring doesn't have to be all pink bunnies either ... any room looks fresh with a few "Cool Chicks."

Pick a few posies from your own garden or steal some from next door.



But then again ... there is nothing wrong with bunnies! Has the spring bug found it's way into your castle yet?

    *** V-girl: The "lil' chicks" are "sooo chic"!!! Spring's flowers always make me smile & feel just a tad giddy, EVEN living here in the desert (altho it IS, admittedly, more "exciting" after a long, cold, snowy winter)!!! ENJOY some well-deserved rest, Sweetie!!! We'll just be "hangin' around", waiting for you return~~~ heck, we'll even open a bottle of your finest wine & LITERALLY WAIT for you "RIGHT HERE"!!!Big GRINS n' huge SMILES, Linda

    Hi Vicky, I just wanted to let you know I've been following your blog. I don't always make comments because my computer is so slow. (and Im just learning) I love the information and pictures you provide..You are one busy girl. About my pictures. I need to get around to posting them on my blog but some of them are still on RMS under athella1. If your daughter needs some instruction on re-purposeing or painting feel free to email me and I will guide her through. ~Athella

    I love how the yellow flowers just brighten up the room! I'm hosting Easter lunch at my house this year and have been trying to figure out what decor to put on the table. I love yours with the little chickies! I may have to try something like that. Thanks for the great ideas!

    I always treat myself to flowers throughout the year, especially ones that will last at least a week. I just bought some lovely pink tulips this morning, so put in my light green family room. I love the soft color of pink against the green of the walls (perhaps a throwback to my teenage years during the preppy 80s).
