Be Inspired #186

Hi Everyone, Hope you all had a wonderful Easter Weekend! Ours was warm and sunny, perfect day for enjoying family and friends. There were so many great Easter and Spring posts last week, full of color and inspiration. These are just a few highlights...

I've never met a lamby face that I haven't fallen in love with.
How can you resist? See all the wonderful images and this Lamb Pastel 
from Violet Skiles at Create Beauty.

Trois Petites Filles has been this week's obsession.
If you haven't yet, you'll want to see Victoria's French Bed
and how she created this ethereal look.

I did a double take to make sure I was actually seeing
Hydrangea Bunnies, from Mary at Home is Where the Boat Is

Barbara from 21 Rosemary Lane has created a fun and fresh

space with her Spring on the Front Porch.

Look at these wonderful colors of Easter Eye Candy.

Seed Packet Garden Wreath makes a come back...

I learned within the first week or two of living here at the lease house that there were just a few things that try as I might, I would not be able to "change". Not only can I not change them, I can't focus on them... I just need to try to cover them up, and disguise them as much as possible. One such area is the big flat screen TV in the Living Room, that is the first thing you see when you walk in the front door. Actually, it's not the TV itself, but all the wires at the back of it, because the Entry Hall gives full view of all the technical disadvantages I look at every day. But in reality, not too many people have to see it, and if it weren't for that big ol' honkin' TV, hubby and I would probably go bonkers, cause we park our tired behinds there every night for some escapism.

One thing I brought over early on was this vintage folding screen that I made over a few years ago. It hides a multitude of sins...namely the TV, VCR, tevo, sound system etc.

And this iron garden trellis and urn help anchor it and offer some diversion.

I had my fun little garden/flowerpot wreath up there for Easter, and today I took some more photos minus the green wool felted flying bunny, but here are the ones I snapped before Easter, when a plethora of bun buns were roaming the house.

I put this wreath together last year and it was on my old window above the sideboard in the Kitchen Hallway.

These are French Seed Packet Labels attached to tags.

(don't you love his bow tie?)

...and whitewashed flowerpots with gardener's twine tied to the grapevine wreath.

Actually, I have bunnies running around here till summer, 

when I look at them I cannot help but smile.

I have "garden fever" right now, but nowhere to "play". But I do hope to bring over a few of my potted geraniums to make it feel more homey outside over here. I "winter" my many pots of geraniums each year, but hubbs is working on packing the John Deere room, so I have orders that they've gotta go.

I've lost several big shrubs from the harsh winter, and my knock-out rose bush will have to be "amputated" to the nubbs, most of it is dead too. How about you all...did most of your flowers and plants survive? Here's to the warmer weather...70's all week, yay! 

I'll be joining in on these great weekly parties:
