Happy Springtime thoughts ~

Even though it's very dull and dreary here in Ontario, I thought I would share these with you ~ 



This little delight hangs on the wall by my kitchen sink and makes me smile quite often while I do dishes ~



A little spring vignette on my mantel ~



I picked up this plate at our local thrift store for a dollar ~



These sweet little pillows always make me smile ~ I wonder why we love pillows so much...


A sweet little african violet which I transplanted in this tea cup ~

Soon the fairies will be flitting around my garden ;-)





What have you done today to make yourself smile?  I can't wait to hear from you

(((Hugs)))

  3. The pillows are so sweet along with everything else. I love all of your pieces and it is dull and dreary here in New England.

  5. What a beautiful little fairy! She looks like she is ready to fly away...and spread some fairy dust! I just put some pearls in a little dish on my dresser...I like what you've done with the jewelry box! I'm going to look at that again! And did you make the pillows? They are beautiful! What made me smile today? I bought new washcloths and put them inside something vintage that I got this week! I'll show you soon! Hugs! ♥

  8. Hi Marianne! Well I'm still watching the I Love Lucy marathon, so you know I'm smiling! I love all your vignettes and birds. The pillows are darling! I have a few that are a combination of shabby fabric and vintage chenille, too. They're just so charming, aren't they? Have a wonderful weekend!... Donna

  10. Love the pillows and the African violet with cloche! Looks like you're are ready for Spring. I bought some yellow tulips and put them in my blue Ball jars! Just the little things to cheer the house.

    Hope your weekend is good :) Michelle

  11. Marianne, I think we're all ready for Spring to rescue us from the dull drums of a long dreary winter! I think a little sun is what we all need to brighten up our lives and bring out our smiles! But until then, anything we can do to our beloved homes to make us smile is truly wonderful!Your vignette is beautiful! Like my cat, I can hardly wait to sit in a sun beam and feel it's warmth...Awhhh!Thanks for visiting my blog and your sweet comment! Hugs, Debbie @ Cottage Hann~Me~Downs
