Pretty, Pretty Things!

On such a chilly morning, it's hard to believe Spring is just a few days away! I think Winter and Spring are the two seasons that go by the fastest. Spring ends up just turning into Summer and you suddenly realize you have transitioned from pants to shorts in a blink of the eye. I think Winter goes by fast but some may disagree cause of snow but I feel like it ends like the slamming of a door. You can have snow one day and two days later, there are crocus plants peeking up through the earth and it's all about Spring! No matter, I love all the seasons!

This past Sunday we went to Hicks Nursery for the annual flower show. What a beautiful day it was! When we first walked in we were greeted by this amazing arrangement and a beautiful plant called an orange star. The display reminded me of Haloween!

I had to buy one of these beauties and she looks so nice in my kitchen!

 

As we walked around I saw the most amazing orchids in such vivid colors!

They were magnificent! And all of the displays make you feel like you are in the Secret Garden!

Hard to belive they hold this all indoors. It really gets you ready to go home and plan your garden.

 

We bought some bulbs and seeds. I plan on planting a garden of Fall Fixins!It would be nice to grow some of what I LOVE to decorate with for the Fall and although I know my chances of it growing well are pretty slim, I'm gonna try!  I bought seed packets of indian corn and mini indian corn, bird house gourds, mini pumpkins, pumpkins and a few others. I also bought sunflower seeds!

 

Around the house I have been decorating still and creating! I embellished my Easter train!

 

All aboard!

Then fixed up some other basket displays in my parlor. Love african violets!

 

Put my garage sale finds for Easter in my kitchen display cupboard! Can you believe both of these bunny tea pot/pitchers found at garage sales for less than $2 each?

Garage sale glory! Woo hoo!

 

As were these little bunny girl candles. Gurley, I believe!

 

Oh, and here is one more great buy! This was from Family Dollar! A great plump owl! Only $5! Love him to add to my owl collection!

 

 

 

He is supposed to be an outdoor decoration but I put prefer to keep him in with the rest of the family! :)  Go to Family Dollar if you have one near you. They get great Spring/Summer items!

Last but not least, and sorry gals but this item is not in any store...my little chickie boo Caitlin, posing for a photo at the flower show!

 

Have a great day!
