Tiger's First Snow!

In the South when it snows, we come to a grinding halt!!  It snowed today in Atlanta and surrounding areas.  Due to the bad weather my flight home was cancelled so I'll be staying a few more days with Mom.  Yay! 

The bad news?  I missed Tiger's first snow!

The good news, there are photos!

Tiger and Mommy

Tasting the snow!

It's a snowman

It will all be gone by the time I get home!

Harvest Vignette

I wanted to create this vignette that I had on my fall pinterest board and decided it was perfect for Debbiedo's Copy Cat Party!

I saw this on a blog but it came from Better Homes and Gardens magazine

I have an old scoop and wanted to give this a try

It was an 'inspiration' and not a true copycat

My scoop is a little smaller, I don't have all the fruits nor that picture as a background.

I also didn't have a vintage sage tin but used a vintage shaker and I think it works

Instead of a Thanksgiving Turkey card I used a fall leaf card.  

I am glad I gave it a try!  I had everything I neededto put this vignette together. The scoop was a yard sale find and I think I paid a couple of dollars for it!  The platter is an old Franciscan ware Apple pattern.  

This was fun!  

I'm joining these parties!!

Seasonal Sunday~Wearing of the Green

In honor of St Patrick's Day I thought I would share with you some of the green my home is wearing!

The cubbies which I shared with you a few days ago

The plate rack to the right of the hutch holds some green plates

as does the plate rack on the left

I found this mug last year and the plate last week at different thrifts...love how good they look together!

I love this Fenton dish found at a GW 

Happy Wearing of the Green!

TWEET TWEET HERE, TWEET TWEET THERE

It has been a beautiful Spring here in Georgia.  Our yard has bloomed and the birds have been visiting.  We even have a nest of Hawks high up in a tree in the wooded area behind our house.  We have been trying to spy on them as they hatch and grow!  So much fun!  In keeping with the bird theme I re-did my cubbies and collected my bird collection from around the house.  Hmmmm...larger then I remembered...oh well hope you enjoy! 

That is a lot of birdies!

All these birds were thrifted or bought on clearance 

All of these were thrifted except the lovely Fenton Glass bird I won in a giveaway from Vintage Christine

Some of these are orphan S&P shakers so they are a double collectible for me

This vignette was created from clearance items bought at Michael's

The tray is Couroc Giftware from Monterey, CA found in a thrift shop.  The other bird decorations are from Hobby Lobby on clearance.

The yellow bird is from Michael's and the other items were thrifted

(remember the Blue Bird of Happiness?  It helped me announce that my daughter was having a baby)

I am very happy with the cubbie display

These birds are scattered around the deck garden

The Red and Blue metal birds were clearance from

Dollar General last fall

This was a Birthday present last year

I try to keep some water in it for the birds on these hot days

Dollar Tree bird

Hope you enjoyed the birdies....

BLUE BIRD SPRING VIGNETTE

I have a vignette I want to share with you.  Everything is either thrifted or bought on clearance.  I'll do an Easter vignette soon but until then this just makes me feel Springy! 

I love the soft blue and whites of this vignette

I put this blue bird from Michael's under the cloche

The blue birds and 'Friends' sign were on clearance at Michaels 70% off

A close up 

I used one of my milk glass bud vases and added some sweet little white flowers that are growing wild in my back yard

I love this milk glass plate with a blue and brown pattern

I used two soft blue plates and two 'spring' plates in the plate rack to carry the color up onto the wall

Thank you to all my Friends for helping me with 'baby watch'.  We are still waiting. 

I'm joining these fun parties!

I hope you will go visit these fun parties!

St PATRICK'S VIGNETTE

Here is my St Patrick's Day Vignette

I used my cute little St Patrick Day bears under the cloche with an Irish Coffee mug.  All these items were thrifted of course!  

I don't have any St Patrick's Day plates but I thought this Blue Ridge Southern Potteries Plate in the Stanhome Ivy pattern works just fine

A white candle in this wonderful thrifted Fenton Glass dish 

A pottery Shamrock rests on my glass door knob

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
