Trying to capture the beauty of Spring ~

I added just a

*touch of Spring*

in the dining room a few days ago.

I am soooooo longing for Spring.

You too?

This is how my vignette ended up, but I am not sure
about that Cuisine sign... now that I see it in a photograph.
It looks way too tall? I think some tweaking is in order. 

You can't have

Spring

without eggs.

The beauty of

Spring

that my friend Becky from Timewashed sent to me.

I altered some eggs last year
and added  a few to my vignette.

Eggs, egg cups, tulips...

I mean...

How much more

*Spring-ier*

can you get?? 

I love the small old fence that I have had hanging around here for years.

Up close and personal

A little overkill on so many photos? *smile*

Here's to

SPRING

and hoping that it shows up soon!!

Petite Fleurs

Warning: many photos ahead

I picked up this petite box at JoAnn Fabric

one day when I was up in the *big city*.

Don't you just love it?

I purchased some tulips yesterday at the big box store and then I could not stop taking pictures.

I tried it this way...

that way...

with lace...

side shot...

angled...

chair seat showing...

chair seat not showing...

floppy tulips...

close up...

without lace...

I could not make up my mind which ones to post.

So I posted quite a few. I did take over 90 photos so at

least I am not posting that many. lol.

Oh...and don't you just love the sign.

A find at Home Goods last week on my marathon

shopping spree before going to the hospital

with my granddaughter.

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

Blessings to you this Spring Sunday!

PS Please continue to pray for my sweetie Allysha.

She spent two nights here and when she got up Friday

morning she had totally lost her voice.

She still does not have it back.

Strange.

Hope

hope (hōp) noun 1. a feeling that what is wanted is likely to happen;

desire accompanied by expectation 2.the thing that one has a hope for

Just sharing my pretty tulips again today. It gives me

hope that Spring is forthcoming. These beauties were in

the clearance section and the flowers are still just fine.

The stems are a little yellow, but I thought they

needed a nice home.

One of my favorite scripture verses:

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,

"plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

plans to give you hope and a future.

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me,

and I will listen to you.

Jeremiah 29:11

Blessings~

Touch of Spring

Have you ever thought of giving tulips for Valentines

Day? The meaning of the beautiful tulip is

*perfect love*.

What better flower for that special day.

They just say *grace and elegance* do they not?

I picked these up at the big box store for 2.50 a bunch. For that price I splurged and purchased a white bunch and a light pink bunch. lol.

I needed a touch of spring and these are just what the doctor ordered.

Speaking of doctors I visited mine yesterday because I

noticed this large knot on my head that just seemed to

appear out of nowhere this week and it is very sore.

Official diagnosis is mastoiditis:

an infection of mastoid process,

the portion of the temporal bone of the skull

that is behind the ear which contains

open, air-containing spaces.

Praying it heals well and quickly without

any complications.

Blessings~

Look at Spring!

Spring is nature's way of saying,

*Let's party!! *

-Robin Williams

In springtime, love is carried on the breeze. Watch out

for flying passion or kisses whizzing by your head.

-Terri Guillemets

April prepares her green traffic light

and the world thinks GO. -Christopher Morley , John Mistletoe

I love Spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden! -Ruth Stout

If you've never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul

by a flower in Spring bloom, maybe your soul has

never been in bloom.

In the spring, at the end of the day,

you should smell like dirt.

drab and dirty world.

The year's at the Spring

And day's at the morn;

Morning's at seven;

The hillside's dew pearled;

The lark's on the wing;

The snail's on the thorn;

God's in His heaven-

All's right with the world!

-Robert Browning

HAPPY SPRING!
