spring easter room...

i thought i had better show you my
easter decorations,
well...
before
easter!
can you believe it is this sunday??

"time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin,
into the future..."

i added shades of blues and aquas to my already whit-ish room...
i have been collecting and loving chenille blankets and crochet pieces for a long time,
and layered the room with these,
and sprinkled vintage treasures all around.....

i brought in an old wash tub,
 from the porch, to use as a fun end table.

layered with
 crochet pieces,
an old globe
(with just the right hues of blues)
and
a vintage tulip door stop.

i constantly change my art work around
 (and try to use existing nails when possible, ahem, 
sometimes this makes for interesting compositions)...

this is one of my paintings from a series that i have been working on.
this one is called
ashley

i have been having fun using burlap and  bits of lace affixed to my canvas's
and pretty spring-like paint colors on top.
a more impressionistic style for me,
which i am really liking.
i'll share the other paintings in this series soon... 

i printed out some of my recent spring photos
 (on plain ol typing paper)
and taped them to the backs of the two frames made from molding.

one of two garden trellis' brought in from the garden...
garden fencing too, serves as a wainscoting.

i was thrilled to find this blue toy jeep at the nashville flea!
bunny seems to like it.

i drive a jeep
and love it!

my makeshift chandy made from wind chimes hangs way down in the middle of the room,
and tinkles ever so sweetly when i walk by.

i hung a vintage print on the door knob of the old hutch,
and set fluffy chics on top (sitting in front of one of my aqua beachy paintings).

more touches of blues and aquas.

 a chenille doll blankey, from my childhood
(that means it is definitely vintage!  gulp.)

 i borrowed some of my enamel ware pitchers from the kitchen,
 as the colors were perfect.

a cute yellow bunny and more crochet.

a bluebird pillow that i made years ago.

cheeky candle chicks.

big kit-ten approves of the pillows.
me too!

i am sharing at these easter blog parties this week...

debra at common ground
and
french country home.


have a truly
blessed
easter
peeps!

p.s.  thanks so much for your thoughts on my new header!  i love the idea of a collage, but am having a hard time settling on which pictures!  i am fickle, yunno! so until then, i am using a shot i took looking out my kitchen window.  i think it rather pretty.

i sure appreciate y'all!!
