Spring Sprang Sprung

Teeny tiny white flowers have appeared all over the backyard.

They are really pretty!

Spring Is Here.

We've been anxiously awaiting Spring.

I opened my front door this morning, and Spring greeted me with rain.

Snow still lays in piles where the sun doesn't shine, and even where it does.

I opened the door, and welcomed her anyway.

Baby Ware

Today I added a new child's cup to my small but well-loved collection!

I like it. It has a certain charm to it.

Now I feel compelled to get out my baby bottle collection again. Baby Boy is getting so big, but there is a new little one on the way, and we must anticipate the arrival with much excitement!

My Favorite Shade of Blue

Today while out thrift shopping I found a little enamal ware covered pan in the shade of blue that I absolutely LOVE.

I'm not sure if it is old or just a part of someone's discarded camping gear, but it blends in nicely with the things on the shelf on the back porch!

Oooo. I LIKE This Very Much!

THGGM has gone and done it again.

While I single mindedly shop at Michaels Craft Store, he pops in and out of Home Depot, Bed Bath and Beyond, Marshalls and some electronic store from which our new DVD player came from.

He had a Bed Bath and Beyond coupon (he has tons of these) and with it he found a single panel curtain.

I sort of threw it over this chair we found years ago at an antique mall for $15.00.

I LOVE this! You know, I don't think I will ever actually reupholster anything, or even make a slip cover. I'm just happy to fling things over my old junky furniture and sit back and smile...

Tweaking the Guest Room

The lamp shade THGGM found at a thrift store works great on the lamp he found at a different time.

Oldest Son and Daughter-in-law are coming for a long weekend.

I hope they feel comfortable in this room.

Remember, I only show the good parts.

The sun shown very brightly in here this morning, but I still could not get a good shot of the room.

I moved in my Mary Cassett print that I love so much.

Of course, that meant that I had to bring in all my other seashore memorabilia.

Then, I thought my four tier plate stand would work, so I drug that up too.

I think I like it.

The Tiniest Room Ever

The tiny upstairs bedroom is empty again.

These curtains were found at a thrift store, and work like they were tailor made for this room.
THGGM found the bed a few years back at a garage sale in the neighborhood. It has a nice Grand Rapids Furniture label on it.

The bedding came from a garage sale our church youth group held a few years ago.

I'm hoping that it won't be long before Baby Boy can sleep in this bed for nap time at Beppe's.

THGGM bought new shelves for the tiny closet, which cannot hold hangers, except on an angle. The blue-prints we found in the house label this room as a 'sewing room'.

I think I'll be loading up the book shelves (again!) with children's books and a few quiet toys.

But, until I decide FOR SURE, I'm leaving it empty.
