Spring Themed Shelf #2

After putting away the Easter decor and the Bunnies, I gave my shelf a little Spring do over.  

I found this cute faux wooden mirror with a removable shelf attached at the bottom, I turned it over and used it with the shelf at the top!

This thrift store find was destined for a paint job, but I haven't made up my mind on that yet.  As is, is doing nicely for now!  I figured turning it over would give me another shelf to decorate on top!  I decided to keep it simple and added some greenery and flowers.

For a fun SPRING display I changed up my "display shelf" using it and some of my other thrifty finds - the metal brackets, glass candlesticks, wreath, scrabble letters, and ceramic tray.

I enjoy finding things and being able to change their appearance or use them in different ways, this was a very easy change!  Think of ways to use an item differently, or not as it usually would be, you'll get more use out of it that way too!

Dollar Deals and Thrifty Treasures

If you haven't seen or heard of Target's dollar spot area you are missing out!  They have caught on to the dollar store idea, by adding an area with items priced at one to five dollars.  I can't pass up the area when I go there now!  I am hooked, they get me every time I'm in there.  I find something to like or that I just have to have!  I recommend checking it out!

I love flowers! Fresh flowers are wonderful and fragrant, but flowers I can keep forever are always hard to pass up.  The wooden flowers above were found at Target dollar spot for three dollars, aren't they cute?! They can be painted but I loved their simplicity as is.  And, that cute "Welcome Spring" banner was only one dollar, also found at the dollar spot.

I love finding these low cost items that I can use in decorating my home.  These items make it easy to stay on budget and be able to do my favorite thing, changing my decor with low cost decorating!

Some of the the other items here I already had before Spring, the ceramic Magnolia blossom is a thrift store find.  Magnolias are a favorite of mine.

And, Mr Owl was found last year, I fell in love with him and that sweet face! He's just so adorable!  I enjoy decorating my home with things I love!

I dressed up my Baker's Rack with a touch of Spring using just a few items for just a few dollars! That's my kind of decorating!

Happy Shopping and Happy Decorating!... 

Happy Easter!

Easter sure has come quickly, it doesn't seem as if it should be April, and yet we are half way through it!

I did just a little decorating for Easter.  Would you believe these sweet bunnies recently hopped right into my shopping cart?!  I think they knew they would be perfect for my Easter table.  Perfectly adorable!  They are pretty cute so I allowed them to come home with me.  And just as I suspected they were perfect.

This bunny was from my imagination, as I was thinking about how some bunny would be visiting on Easter, as rumor would have it!  My thrifted chalkboard/tray was on the ready for Easter, and my imagination.

I also had to make a bunny face, 'cause I think a bunny face is cute!  Don't you?  Truth be told, I just like to play around with my chalk and chalkboards, and pretend to be an artist! :)

I put together this simple and beautiful Easter tablescape.  My pretty cut-glass and crystal pieces added lots of sparkle.  We had a bright and gorgeous day with blue skies and much sunshine.

We enjoyed an Easter meal/feast all prepared on our Big Green Egg by the mister.  It was better than Easter Eggs!

I hope you had a blessed and beautiful day.

A Hoppy and Happy Easter!...

Spring in April ~Our Spring Breakfast Area~

I've been enjoying our bright sunny Spring mornings.  I love all the light in our breakfast area each bright sunny morning!  

I've kept it simple in my breakfast area with light tones and golden touches.  It feels fresh and light.  I do love all the light in here!

I also love my Baker's Rack, it's a favorite spot to restyle with different items, serveware, and things I love!

Setting a pretty table is something I truly enjoy doing! Anywhere from simple to extraordinary, using only a centerpiece, or a full traditional table setting.  

When I'm wanting something new or different, Hobby Lobby never disappoints! And, neither does a Spring sale at 50% off and a 40% off coupon! I love Hobby Lobby!!!

These items are all from Hobby Lobby.

~Table runner and matching place mats, white stand, and bronze planter with plant.

I hope your days are bright, sunny, and beautiful!...
