playing dress up...

Good Morning!!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and Mother's Day! We spent the weekend at the campground and despite the weather had a great time. I know I promised some pictures but it poured on Saturday and it was quite chilly on Sunday. I wanted to get some flowers planted but with some frost warnings for the week, I decided to wait. However, my sweetest little camping neighbor Catie brought over a flat of pretty pansies for Mother's Day! Thank you Catie... We both thought this little bunny looked scared! Then I showed her my flat bunny... I think this was supposed to be a stepping stone but I lean it against a tree. My good friends Don & Bert gave this to me when they left camping to live full time in Florida ~ I think of them every time I look at it. As the rain fell on Saturday Jim asked if I wanted to go to downtown Plymouth and hit the antique shops. I actually said no! I am saving my money for Brimfield on Wednesday!! Knowing it would be raining on Saturday I came prepared and decided to play dress up on another mannequin... I am having so much fun dressing these little ladies up...
I wanted to do another one but the rainy weather was making an afternoon nap sound really good! Especially after a night around the campfire with my girlfriends ~ and knowing that the skies would clear I would be sitting around another fire that night!! I am not sure if I will put this one in my Etsy shop or in my little corner at the shop. Until I decide she is sitting on my mantel in front of my favorite mirror, the one that started my collection... Thank you to Karen over at The Graphics Fairy for generously sharing the wonderful images I used on her. Karen hosts Brag Monday and Susan over at Between Naps On The Porch hosts Metamorphosis Monday. So today I am party hopping to show this little lady off. I hope you can party hop too and see what everyone is sharing today. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

better late than never...

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a tour of Maureen's house. Your comments were so nice. I know Maureen loved having you and wants us to come back soon to see her new living room set. Her sister-in-law has also invited us to tour her lake house which I will bring you on soon. I know you won't want to miss it! I have been busy making a few things to feather my little corner at the shop. I bought some simple plain white boxes at Michaels and thanks to Karen at The Graphics Fairy they had a little makeover... I had the best intentions to get these done before Easter but am hoping that people will think spring decorating. I love the colors of the eggs on the top as well as the lovely script around the edges... I also added some of my favorite scrapbooking paper...blue roses on an aged background. The top of this box has a great bird image... I also had good intentions to decoupage some eggs before Easter too. I used some french inspired graphics for this dozen... My favorite box with my favorite egg... I know you have all probably seen these ideas before but I had so much fun making them and as we all know, thanks to Karen, the possibilities are endless. So my new little line of decoupaged items for the shop... Have finally made their way to their new nesting spot in my little corner. Better late than never... I am joining in on the fun at a few places this morning ~ The Graphics Fairy for Brag Monday, Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday, and for the first time ~ Cottage Instincts for Make it for Monday. I want to thank you all again for coming by to visit my little blog and taking time to leave a comment. You have all been so kind, encouraging and inspiring. I can not believe that I almost have 100 followers! I better get ready for my first giveaway!!
