Paper butterflies & lavender

Just can't seem to get enough of lavender lately.

I am somewhat allergic to it so I have to work

with it in a very well ventilated room or better yet

outside, but I love it.

The day I took these pictures the lighting

was horrible. It was a rainy, gloomy and dark day

so I am surprised that they turned out even

half way decent.

I added some more lavender to a few bottles I

have and I love the look. I also made a lavender

tag using an image from the Graphics Fairy.

up close and personal...:)

One day last week I made a bunch {flutter} of these

paper butterflies to hang from the top of my booth on

fishing line so they can fly around. I haven't gotten

them up there yet so I decided to add them to the

pictures. Love them!

Did you know that a group of butterflies is called

a flutter? I didn't. {My DIL told me} I think it is

amazing at my age that I am still learning new

things.

Hoping you are having a wonderful day today filled with unexpected blessings!

Longing for Spring ~

Are you ready for spring? After what seems like an cold winter full of endless snow, I am SO ready! I strolled out to my potting shed a couple days ago and snapped a few pictures. Some did not turn out the best, but you get the idea. My potting shed is an ongoing work in progress and will be for some time to come. We had this building moved in several years ago and I have pictures (somewhere) of it coming down our dirt road on a trailer pulled by a tractor! You know we live in the boonies when we can haul our own buildings down the road! LOL

My mother gave me this *POTTING SHED* window/shadowbox for Christmas one year ~

I saw this idea in a magazine and strolled out to hubbys shop last summer and we put these teacup and saucer posts together. I love how they turned out ~

A small set of old bedsprings...they were only $5 and I know I will find a use for them someday ~

A poor cement angel lost her wing and I could not bear to throw it away ~

This is a wreath made out of a garden hose that I received this from my best friend for my birthday one year and I love it! She made it herself...she is SO talented . (It is laying on top of my teacup and saucer posts ) ~

LOVE this antique blue cupboard that I purchased at a garage sale! Sometimes I wish it was in my house!

Lots of goodies stored in this cupboard ~

I can't wait until the weather turns warm to stay so I can get out there and do a good cleaning! It sure needs it and I am ready! I hope you have a wonderful day...Blessings!
