Yay! It's officially and finally, Spring!
I must say our first two days of Spring were way-too-chilly here, but today however, well, it was in true Spring form. Even though I had plenty of 'life chores' that I should have been doing today, I sat outside for a little while enjoying the warmth of the sun as it was giving me the thought that "I could just sit here like this forever!" It felt wonderful. Such a beautiful Spring day!

I am so pleased to say "Hellooo SPRING! ...Buh-Bye Winter!"
I felt inspired, and motivated, to put a Spring theme together for my display shelf. As I always try ever so frugally to do, I managed to achieve the look by using mostly what I already had on hand, along with a few inexpensive items.
I found the wire-backed window at our new Home Goods store and had to get it once I saw it was a half price mark down from thirty bucks. I love a good bargain! I've been wanting to make something similar for a while and this was just perfect! I picked up a few floral items at the craft store to dress up a plain grapevine wreath, and transform it into a simple, but pretty, Spring wreath. I also found the Bunny there and that cute little thing hopped right into my shopping cart! *wink* Uh-huh that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
The little cardboard tags were a find after the holidays at the Target dollar area, eight tags for a buck, so I quickly grabbed two bundles. I knew at the time I'd find a use for them in the future! I attached my wooden letters to the tags by using reusable thumb-tack/putty, then strung the tags onto some jute twine to make my SPRING-banner. The little ceramic basket was a mere dollar-fifty of a deal found on the seasonal/holiday isle at the grocery store and I thought it was just so cute that it had to come home with me too.
I edited a few items and also moved things around just a bit, then settled on this look for now. I am liking it well enough and enjoy seeing it, and having it as a fun 'welcome' to Spring!
Happy SPRING!...
