Sweet Sweet Spring ~



Sweet, Sweet Spring has arrived ~ the temps right now are in the 60's.  Ahhhhhh ~
When Spring arrives I come alive ~ I want to refresh, fluff my nest ~ I think you know....



This week I made some laundry detergent.  We can't get Zote  soap here in Canada, so I used Linda Soap.



I love how it smells and I love that you use so little, very economical ;-)



I have been wanting to take my cupboard doors off for such a long time.  Well, I finally did it, but didn't like the look.  So, Mr. Vintage added bead board (actually Pine tongue and groove) to the back of the cupboards.



Now I love the way they look.  I put my jadite in this cupboard, so that I can look at it always ~





I had to add a little pink ~





I really do like the way it looks.  The bathroom is still a work-in-progress, but hopefully, I can show you that soon.

I tweaked my mantel a little ~



I love these blue bottles ~



and of course, my little birds ~



Well, I am off to do a little more fluffing ~

What have you been up to lately, fluffing? painting? creating?

Please let me know, I love to hear from you

Have a wonderful Sunny Day ~

(((Hugs)))

  4. Your cupboard re-do looks really nice. I like the 'beadboard' in behind and your jadeite really stands out. You have some really nice pieces! Doing some fluffing here and cleaning too. Where does all the dust come from when the windows are still closed??!! Pamela

    It is in the "air" to start fluffing our homes!!! Winter was too long.

  8. I have some of those same jadite pieces in an open cabinet. Funny, I never thought of adding other dishes, like the pinks, with it. That looks so pretty...I'm going to do it right now! Thanks:)

  11. Love your jadeite, I have some on top of my cabinets and I kind of forget about them!
    Would love to hear about your family coming from Holland..I am sure it was a tragic time, but so much history.
