Looking for Spring

It's the time of year when I start to look for Spring and unfortunately, where I live, it's buried under several feet of snow. The logical thing to do is to find a beach in Mexico, a comfy chair, a hardcover copy of Wuthering Heights, and at various intervals stand up, click red high heels together and say, "I don't want to go back home, I don't want to go back home, I don't want to go back home". 

  

Mexico, comfy chair, book...all realized, and wonderful. The clicking of high heels... apparently does not work without a fairy godmother, so back home I go. 

Once back home, I again looked for Spring.

This time I found it in the summer grass of a photograph of  dd,   

     

a milk glass pedestal with seashells,

 a glass vase filled with treasures of the ocean,

 a starfish accompanied by tarnished silver,

 and speckled blue eggs in a white birdcage.

I guess Spring can be found, if we look really hard.

It's not too early to display some of those items that help you "feel" like it's Spring. Do you remember where they're stored? If not, remember, you can always search for Spring on http://www.etsy.com/

PS: Thought you might ejoy seeing a couple of pictures of a wedding reception being set up on the beach. After dark, the torches and lanterns were lit. It was a gorgeous sight.

Ruffles

Oh my, I'm such a girl. I Looooove ruffles, and not just one row, but layers and layers of ruffles. Not surprised? I know. You know me too well.  

Visually, ruffle pillows are fabulous, and believe me, I can't keep my hands off. Touching layer after layer sends those tactile neurons firing. 

Use one pillow, or a group. Both are rufflicious.  

I even love the ruffles on my vintage Fenton cake plates. 

Sleek and milky white, the ruffles are mesmorizing.   

Ruffle up everyone, and spread the love!
