Carrot Love

Yep, carrots on the brain!  I am totally into carrots lately...now all I need to do is find a "Doc" and ask him "What's up"...

The truth is....I am just chomping at the bit for spring and I cannot think of a veggie that screams spring louder than carrots.  Besides, could there be a happier color than orange?

I think not!





Happy Tuesday evening friends.

Carrots And Burlap Together At Last

No swatch of burlap is safe from my spring festoon~ment...




None...there will be many carrots, many eggs, and many, many pieces of wonderfully decorated scraps of burlap this, of course, will lead to many happy moments of contentment with my brush and a bottle of orange paint in hand.
Many.

Merry Valentine's Day~o~La

Merry, Merry Valentine's Day to All!

I am sharing glimpses of a most relaxing and loving Valentine's Day in a lazy house in the middle of winter.

With love...


Mmmmmmm...

We baked...

And we sneaked a heart shaped cookie or two...

We rocked a spell on a pillow with a hand painted heart...

We rocked a long spell...

We marinated in the love of the day.

Valentine cheers to you my friends.

Valentine Folly

fol~ly n.
foolishness; ~or~
down right silly~ness...yeah, that sounds about right...
I just thought I would share some Valentine folly that went on 'round my neck~of~the~woods today.
 I gathered goodies from around my home~ola to decorate for Valentine's Day...
When I looked around...I found that I have gleaned many a sweet tidbit for this season of love...
 

Even a antique baby dress...seemed like a gown for Cupid...don't you agree?

 You just know that this is Cupid's middle name...
 Red burlap heart...just cuz...
And you may be surprised...this is not really Cupid's quilt...it is a pillow sham.... 
Cozy...and Valentine~y...

I love burlap...but you know that...


Chubby little tea pot...


Love... 


So true...


This little darling is actually a Christmas decoration....


But I never pack this sweet little face away with the jingle~bells...would you?



I think not...


Folly, I tell you...pure folly... 


And now...I have a heart shaped cookie cutter calling my name...good golly, I love the folly this season inspires...it is so much fun~ner than folding laundry...don't you agree?
