Some Spring Thing(s)

Though it was FOUR DEGREES outside this morning...WE KNOW SPRING is on the way.

Really. It DOES come every year. Remembering this helps me.

As Target and Walmart have their Easter things out

The Buzz on Valentines and Beyond!

Here are the hearts I mentioned that

you could plunk in the snowbank

by the mailbox to make the mail carrier smile...

Or you could plunk them in any drift near

the walkway to say a little "I LOVE YOU"

to your friends and family!

 Small....

...or large!

Meaningful sayings in the home are good reminders...

 I have a thing for vintage bears, especially pandas! :)

 They call this a "cantback" cupboard.

Would easily fit in many places.

 Storage in the bottom.

 This cabinet would be a wonderful storage

addition to any room in the house!

Think: linens, bath items, cds and dvds...

or keep doors open for display!

 A new sage green sofa table

 Heart mold with candle inside is LOVELY

when the light shines through the heart!

 Wool tulips...vintage hearts

A large variety of "expressions" magnets...

 New, easy-priced jewelry. Necklace/earring sets or bracelets.

FRIDAY 10-5 / SATURDAY 10-4

Snowfall and Flowers

As much of our country is being swept over, even lashed by winter storms, it's a bit quieter here in the North land. We only had a couple of inches. Yesterday. Of course it fell on top of about 60 inches (I think that is our local number).

I saw a man walk across the street in a little WI town yesterday, and opened a mailbox door on the front of a snowbank. The box was totally buried in snow. Mail. Delivered to a snowbank in WI. I wonder if the mailman has memorized the addresses that are surely buried on the sides of the boxes...

And what was delivered to Bittersweet Farm yesterday? Flowers! As I opened boxes today and unwrapped the promise of spring...not only flowers, but eggs, rabbits, birds & sheep! I discovered within my heart a refreshing sense of anticipation! For spring, warm weather, and brighter colors after the deep muted greens and reds of winter. As much as I love them, it is nice to pack away and "lighten" up my home!

So expect to see some flowers in the coming days, and remember we have a variety of hearts for  your Valentine's Day display...Even a few new metal heart cut-outs for plunking in the snowbank...maybe you could add one by the mailbox and give the deliverer a smile. :)
