SERIOUSLY Simple Winter Mantel 2015...a fresh start...

If you have been hanging with me here for a while...you might already know that I don't do "simple" well.

More "Simple Fall" at My House...

Still keeping it simple here for Fall...

Aqua Ladder for Books...dreaming of summer adventures...

Hello friends, thanks for your patience with me and my little "Blog-cation".  I had a nice "low pressure" week.  I even started to "day-dream" about summer shows and Flea Markets.  How about you?

I think it started with this little toy Winnebago I found at an antique store the other day...

Happy Spring...in need of a little JOY?

Hello friends, I just stopped in to say "Happy Spring".

And I don't know about you, but I am "Jumping for Joy"!  Not that it actually FEELS like Spring here in Minnesota...but I have HOPE that it is coming :)

I seem to be taking a little "Blog-cation" lately...not by choice.  For some reason I am feeling a little uninspired these days.  My sweet husband reminded me that I go through this every year about this time.  I decided to take the pressure off and rest a bit.  I'll be back when I have something to share.  

Thanks for understanding!!

 

Until then,

 

Accidental Wine Bar...planning ahead...

I'm not exactly sure what possessed me to design a "Wine Bar" on a Thursday afternoon.  Maybe this Minnesota girl has been "cooped up" too long?  This snow and cold is driving me to...decorate...

Playful Valentine Vignette...another vintage toy truck...

I don't do a lot of "Valentines" decor at my house...but this playful little vignette sort of fell into place the other day.

I bought this little True Value truck on a little getaway over Christmas break...do you love it?  I do :)

The "John 3:16" sign was(yet again) made by my talented friend and booth buddy Joan...

Signs of the Times

Stacked books, pop bottles and bowling pins for "trees".

I can't wait to use this truck for napkins when it's done here...

A closer look.

Am I too old to play with toys??

Did you see the one on my WINTER MANTEL?

Hope everyone is having a great week!!

I need to stop "playing" around and start getting ready for JMS Trunk Show on Feb. 1st!!
