~Touches Of Spring!~

It finally feels like spring is here to stay, we had a high of 83 degrees yesterday and it was wonderful! I thought I would share the rest of the spring touches we have around our home for this year. I can't believe how soon Easter and the summer months are approaching. I'm starting to look forward to new summer ideas, and a couple makeovers I will be working on in the coming months. Be looking for some sneak peeks, and some very nice prim items I will be selling as I continue down a more colonial road. A compote and spice box I also got over the holidays, I decided to put dried pear gourds in the compote for spring. Don't you love when you come up with something new for free? I decided to use my old egg basket for a table centerpiece this year. I just added some everyday greens with one of my favorite chalkware rabbits, and some eggs. I used a footed dish to add some height. The table square is Anna's Beauty from Family Heirloom Weavers, I love this pattern and will be using it with my fireplace makeover. I found these old books in a box out in my garage, they were my mothers that she had bought years ago at an antique shop. I took them when she was going to get rid of them, and forgot I even had them! I decided to open the wall cupboard that I have had closed for a while and made a new vignette with them. I see more old books in my future! I love these reproduction rabbit chocolate molds! They are of course from Simple Country Treasures! :) Thanks for stopping by, and for all your kind comments. Happy Spring! Be looking for some great prims for sale! :) God Bless, Kimberlee
