brighten your world with spring touches

 I don't know about you, but I'm so over winter! 

Here in the Chicago 'burbs, we got socked with another snow storm
 a couple of days ago. And then I ended up having to go to immediate care 
yesterday because I have conjunctivitis. Yep, yucky "pink eye".
 How and where I picked that up is anyone's guess. Since I can't control the
 weather, I can at least control the decor inside my home, right? 
Buh-bye heavy blankets on the couch, pine cone fillers in vases, 
and darker decor. Hello to bird's nests, brighter colors, chicks and bunnies.

So here's what I've been playing with in Comfy House the past couple of days.



Top shelf of the ladder bookcase got a makeover with clear glass bottles.
The owls that were up there are now happily cohabitating on top of a bookcase
in the downstairs family room.





These beads in the dish were from a necklace that my mom brought back
from Cancun, Mexico many years ago. I haven't worn the necklace in years;
it was big and clunky. So I took it apart and used the beads as a filler.


The china cabinet got an update to lighter colors and some of my rooster collection.


Cute child's plate from Goodwill - 49 cents.


 Bunnies on a shelf...



Remember the picnic basket I got from Goodwill? I set it beside the chair in 
the office and made a little vignette on top of it.




 It's spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.  And when you've got it, 
you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly 
makes your heart ache, you want it so!  ~Mark Twain
