Wreath's = Happy

I finished two wreaths today.  That feels like I accomplished a lot.  Plus I added black & white ribbon to my Tulip Wreath. (Thanks to Andrea Larson lifelovelarson for the black and white ribbon idea!).  Anyway - a few places in my home are now a little brighter and
Springy!  However - the Easter Tray still isn't finished.  Be patient. 

You can copy these yourself!  Just go to JoAnn's.

Wreath's are 50% off and ribbon is 40% off.  I think

floral is on sale right now too!

Spring comes in "fits and starts"!

     If you know me then you know I love languages and particularly old sayings in the English language.  I love to research the origin of these cute sayings.  So today I chose "Fits and Starts".  If you are not familiar with this one, it means with irregular movement; with much stopping and starting.  It is first recorded in a sermon by Robert Sanderson in England in 1681.  Your lesson for the day!  I dare you to use it in a sentence.  Back to Spring - today is rainy and much cooler.  Hopefully just a watering day for the flowers that want to emerge. 
     As promised I am posting the construction of the 3 tiered tray I bought.  I found a few things that will look cute in it.  But one necessary item in my opinion is a cute fabric napkin to line the bottom tier.  I'm going with a pale peachy pink and gold theme.  I will search today for fabric or a napkin that coordinates.  Sadly the faux hens and chickens were all gone but I did find some other cute succulent picks. 
     I have AADD (adult attention deficit disorder)😏 but I try to use it to my advantage. Basically I try not to have more than about 5 projects going at once.  LOL!  Any more than that and the chances of them being completed is pretty slim.  So the 3 tiered tray is one project.  Another is the Spring Wreaths I'm creating, there are two.  The other projects I will save posting for another day!  Here are my photos of t some of the pieces I'll use when I arrange my tray today.  Everything you see here came from Hobby Lobby. (except the tray of course!)

Here are the beginnings of my wreaths.

I got the wreaths for less than half price at JoAnn's (on sale and with a coupon).  They always look a little sparse to me so I like to add some flowers in here and there for a more full look. That's what the bunch on chair will be used for.  I will cut the stems into individual flowers and poke them in.  The ribbon will be for hanging.  On the yellow wreath I may try to find a cute periwinkle checked ribbon instead of the yellow polka-dot.   Ta-da! 😁  I will post again once they are hanging up somewhere!

Spring is Here???

😍 Yep - it seems Spring is here - it shouldn't be quite yet - but I'll take it!  lol  Spring means
decorating, cleaning and making everything fresh and new.  So I always think of Spring décor like wreaths and flowers and bunnies, etc.  Then next I just want to slather my walls with fresh paint.  But that will have to wait a couple of weeks.  So I bought these two items the other day and am ready to incorporate them somewhere.

This 3 tiered tray came from Amazon.  It's the Benzara Three Tiered Metal Galvanized Tray with Small Gold Colored Studs - $57.87  Only took 2 days to get here! Yay!

My original idea was to do something like this. This inspiration and picture is from

Painted Fox Home.

I'm going to start looking for some artificial hens n chickens and succulent.  I've got quite a few decorations I bought last year - Eastery stuff.  I'll get some moss.  Lots of pale pink and green will be cute. 

Then I need to put these cute pineapple hooks somewhere.  Probably the kitchen.  I got them at TJMaxx. At our local store - not online.

Well - I'll repost when they are in place!  Happy Spring!
