A hint of Spring


I've been playing on the sunporch again.
Hope you guys don't go
"oh no...not again."
Sort of like Meryl Streep at the Oscars.
Gosh, I love that woman...she is so down to earth.



I know why I like piddle-ing out here.
It's because it's sort of like playing "dress-up".


I get to pick out a new dress and accessories for my wicker pieces...


change up my little coffee table my Daddy made for me...


and now dream of Spring, that feels right around the corner.


Someday when I'm brave I'll show you where I keep all my pillows and quilts.
I'm a hoarder.




I love changing out the color schemes with each new season.


I'm lovin' a little bit of pink...




uh-huh...you see a rabbit...
can Easter be far behind?














hey...what's that?


someone's pretty lazy,



and lovin' the warmer weather!

  29. Debra,
    Lovely! Like the cat...who has the best seat in the house...I love your changes on the wicker loveseat! Your birdhouses are similar to the ones my Dad built for me as he was recovering from open heart surgery 15 years ago! You've inspired me to change the hues of the birdhouses for this coming Spring! About the Oscars...I hope she wins again, and again, and again!!!
    Fondly,
    Pat

  40. Ahhh, Debra everything looks cozy and so springlike! love it. and your kitty is just enjoying it to the hllt isn't she?
    I love all your quilts and pillows, I and my sis both have a passion for that stuff. it's best to keep us out of places like Bed, Bath and Beyond, cause we have no more room to store. You have to sneek us a peek at where you keep them hidden!

    ReplyDelete
  41. IF I had that pretty porch I would want to be out there playing all the time too. You lucky girl. LOVE the wicker piece & the table from your Daddy... be still my heart. Those gifts our Daddy's give us never cease to comfort us do they? THANK YOU for sharing this spot of beauty. I NEEDED that in my day today. HUGS!

  49. You did a good job of making the sunroom look 'springy'. Please enjoy decorating it for me. When I finally got one, we ended up re-locating a year later and this house doesn't have one...so when you're playing, please play for me! ;o)
