Petals of Color


I'm in the middle of several projects that I wish I could share with you but some are custom order gifts for people who read my blog and others that can't be disclosed yet either.


The past few days have found me making these fluttery petals for a project I will show you when finished.  It's quick and easy and is boosting my spirits with colors of spring.  I got a kick out of my daughter yesterday when she saw me piling the petals in my favorite vintage pyrex bowl.  She started to laugh and gave me that "of course you would" look.  It made me think about the things I love that I use that other people might not ~

I wear the vintage aprons I buy at flea markets,
I carry crocheted hankies in my purse and use them,
I prefer random floral, chipped plates on my table 
over matched sets,
I burn the bunny shaped candles sitting on the vintage tablecloths that don't fit my table
I will wear a hat if the occassion calls for one (in my opinion)
the list goes on and on...

I have a hunch that most of the people who read my blog do the same things and I'm so glad to belong to a blogging community that shares the same interests as me as well as the many things I learn from the ones that have other interests than mine.  What a blessing you all are!
