I spend a fair amount of time at my house doing drudge and chores. So, when I get a chance to pretty something up, it's like getting a vacay! Something happens when I'm in that creative zone. I whistle or sing, I talk out loud to the cat, I feel happy. And I feel a little house-proud when I am done making something beautiful.
I just added a few sprigs of spring to the china cabinet, along with several bunnies. I spy 5 bunnies, can you? I didn't buy anything new here, just used stuff I already had.
I plopped a grapevine and silk forsythia wreath down on the table with a runner I bought on clearance at Target, then added the candle with burlap from Fall. So lazy. Yet, so pretty.
I added a forsythia branch to the Home Goods vase with some green excelsior and another couple of doodads. Boom. Mantel done.

My thrift store bunny from a couple years ago...
I tossed the pinecones in my thrift store wire basket and added some new blooms I had a coupon for, with some old blooms from my stash. This bit of creativity was a reward for blowing out 4 1/2 bags of leaves from the red rocks in the back yard. Whew!
One of the sweet gift shop bunnies from last year - there are four in all, cause four is my lucky number! Next week I will plan the Easter menu - I will be off and I cannot wait to get to go to church and spend the day with my family!
