Be Inspired #179

Hi Everyone, and welcome to
  Be Inspired!
If you can see the ground through the snow then please join me in a loud
"whoo hoo"!!!
If March is here then Spring has to come...eventually.


Thanks for all the BirthDay wishes, I've always loved having a March Birthday because it's starting to green up and signs of Spring are all around...but not this year. Dressing like an Eskimo isn't a lot of fun. I'll be hitting the mall to celebrate when I don't have to wear layers and layers of clothes.
Here are some great links from last week. Each time I see Anita's wonderful Dining Room, I sigh. It has such an Old World quality to it. Love those antlers above the sideboard.

Collecting Creamware
from Anita at Far Above Rubies




Pamela From My Front Porch to Yours found a wonderful mirror,
but it needed a new finish. Check out the post,




If you haven't enjoyed the current Simply Shabbilicious Magazine
from Kerryanne at Shabby Art Boutique,
 then head over for some beautiful inspiration!



Sherry from No Minimalist Here shares another amazing way
 to use a transfer with her DIY and tutorial Cheese Slab.



A breathtaking Garden Angel is now adorning the pergola Garden,
from Betty at My Cozy Corner.



This was a new one on me. Did you know that there's a product that turns ANYthing into a chalkboard surface? Check out D.D.'s Cottage and Design Chalkboard Breadboard. pretty cool.




And if you're needing a breath of fresh Spring Air then take a look at the Simple Spring Wreath from Christy at Confessions of a Serial DIYer.

thanks so much gals!
