We have a boring gas fireplace. I really want to rip out the ceramic logs and stack some stuff in there. But since I am not really comfortable just ripping out stuff when it is connected to gas lines, I guess I will leave it. For now.
After asking for some plant advice on Facebook and Instagram, I decided to just plant some wheat grass. I had some. It is easy to grow and I know it won't last so I don't feel terrible about killing it. Plus, it is just so darn cheerful and springy. The boy helped me plant this last week and it sprouted in about 4 days.
This little painting makes me so happy. The vases/ urns are a find from an antique store several years ago. They constantly make the cut when I am editing and purging.
I could have sold this little bird that I had in the photo booth at the store several times. But, it is one of those quirky pieces that I couldn't let go. I love the color and the pearly type finish. I almost bought another this past weekend that was sweet too, but there was something that held me back. Maybe I don't want to have a flock. Maybe one is enough in this case. I am slightly remorseful that I didn't pick it up. I will get over it though. Maybe.
We went hunting for pleasure this weekend. Which means, we didn't haul the trailer. We took my car and still packed it full. I came home with what I was looking for and it was a great day out. Something when you hunt constantly, it can be such a bummer to come home with an empty trailer. Of course, this time we came across some *stuff* that I would have loved to bring home to stock my booth if we would have had more space. I still came home with some sweet smaller finds that will be in my etsy shop soon or at my booth in Franklin.
I think a nap is in order soon. Hopefully a kick free nap *wink*
bye for now~

ReplyDeleteYour whole post made me smile (I remember those times when the kids were sick and in bed with us, well, usually ME!). I hope he's feeling better -- sure wish it felt like spring here! It's actually snowing again and covering the ground! UGG. I love your mantle -- the contrast of the colored pots and the natural is lovely. The bird, I think you're right to keep him an only child -- he's so special and lovely!
ReplyDeleteHope your little one is back to 100%! Your mantle looks great!
