I feel good....

....yes, I am finally starting to get over that cold/fever/achey body thang that was going around! AND it's in the 60's here today....what does a midwestern girl do when it's in the 60's? Get out and enjoy it (I walked a little over 2 miles today) AND clean (the windows...inside and out..I even drug the ladder out for this task), washed the curtains and cleaned the kitchen....yes ladies, I feel good! Check out this cutie... I saw her at the Salvation Army 2 weeks ago...she was part of a pair and they were 3.49 each...to me that's too much to spend...so I left without them...I thought about them all week...went back and lo and behold, they were both there STILL!! So I happily snapped them up (upon inspection, the one was chipped on the inner rim...as much as I wanted them both, I knew that chippy would be a hazard) so I left with her....I'm not sure what they are...they kind look like old candy counter jars (or as I see them...a fishbowl with a lid)...there were pink and white yogurt covered raisins filling 1/2 the jar yesterday...hmmm, wonder what happened? Enjoy the day!

Just a little...

....vignette in my loft, all set for Valentine's Day... Sending a little decorating love your way!

Stupid Cupid....

...you're a real mean guy...Anyone know where that's from? AND who the artist is? Inspired by this... That's what I was up to this week (plus other things!!) Have a GREAT Sunday!!

Spring Love...

...come back to me...A la Stevie B (at least I think that was his name...that song Spring Love from the early 90's). Anyway, around my parts, there's been nothing but snow and COLD!! So a couple weeks ago I picked this up at the grocery store.... This sweet little pot of tulips turned into this pretty picture... My pretty pop of spring (see the dark cold in the background?!?!) for Valentine's Day I added the stainless steel plant marker and wrote XOXO on it....I read on another blog about "plant jewelry" (sorry I can't remember which blog it was) and I LOVED the term! Why shouldn't our plants get all fancied up for the holidays? Where do you get these fab plant marker without pulling your gardenshed apart or spending an arm and a leg? Well, at Michael's of course!! In their dollar section...you get a pack of four PLUS the marker... So run, don't walk to Micahel's!!
