Spring Thing


Amazing, I know!
I actually put up a post.
I was being bullied by one of our Canadian friends to get my act together and DO SOMETHING!
Ok, Suze.  I did something.  And you'd better like it, too.

I had the best time putting this little show of Spring together.

  

Just a few herbs and verbena stuffed into old sewing machine drawers and some copper for fun.
I love this old ladder all prettied up for sunny days.
    

Sweet basil is a favorite.


Simple burlap ribon from Hobby Lobby wraps around a faux sprig.


The sign was made for pennies with a blank balsa wood door hanger from HL.
I transferred the image with CitraSolve and added some wax.
I love 5 minute projects.


When I'm ready for a nap, I'll hang my sign.
Snort.
The lemon thyme smells delicious.


Have an old piece of junk laying around?  Or several million like me?


Make yourself a Spring Thing-
especially all my frozen friends still enduring snow and wishing for green things and warmth.


Even last weeks tulips have a place of honor.
They were gorgeous pink and white, but I enjoy the bulbs all dried and crunchy, too.


Thanks, Crit and Brit.
Mwah, you sweet things!

Tomorrow the ladder goes outside but I've enjoyed it so much this evening.
It's propped against the laundry room door waiting for the storms to pass.
I've missed you guys!
I'll be around soon if I haven't already.

    Your ladder makes a great display. The emotion you got from me on this post: envy. That is a big compliment!

    If that's what you come up with when you are bullied, I think you better give Suze a weekly spot, the ladder is awesome!

    You're a pretty good stylist, you know. In one picture it looked like the ladder steps were slanting down. How did you get the drawers to stay on the slanted steps? I always have this problem - if you pull the ladder out until the steps are flat the ladder sticks out too far...
    Gorgeous pictures, Tina.

    Love to see the way you have used plants. It really is a "Spring Thing." I especially love the ladder with each step covered with something growing.
