Spring is Here

One life on this earth is all that we get, whether it is enough or not enough, and the obvious conclusion would seem to be that at the very least we are fools if we do not live it as fully and bravely and beautifully as we can.  –Frederick Buechner 

                                                                 So what do you see?



Beautiful Blossoms

Offering some favorites

   

 Hi Sharing some of my favorite spots at the Screen Door and Tobacco Barn in Asheville, North Carolina

                                                           Loving this beautiful patina of white

                                                            Have a seat please and join me for a chat

                                                              I offer you my love of a fav new vendor

                                                             Don't you love this presentation?

                                                            She had the coolest doors

                                                                    I loved these bottles and buckets

                                            Now this stretcher is divine...my medical heart fell in love

                                                       Frances will be in Atlanta with her great pieces

It has been beautiful in the Carolina's and I will be working on some projects this weekend and I will share with you!!  Joining these lovely ladies....   Di and friends 

My office furnishings

I am fixing up my office at my new job and I am gathering supplies and ideas...So

I went out shopping and found this great chair for $25

or I found this chair for $25

And I found this great metal piece, do I use for candles or how about little plants?

                                           What about this cool wood piece from my junk stash?

                            I found some great frames for $3 each and painted them a Louis Blue in
                                           Anne Sloan paint, I wonder how I could incorporate them?
                              
 I walked by this in the Screen Door Antique mall and wondered what this would be...it is a stretcher made into a chaise lounge!!  Wouldn't that be a hoot in my medical office setting?

So I know you are waiting to see how my office looks but that will have to wait until I decide on the elements

I will need a plant stand but this one was a little pricey...I will keep looking for that element and I will need another chair.  I am hoping this weekend to find the right table and then will do a big room reveal next week.

I am so enjoying my new work place and the people I work with.  Such a pleasure to go to work and make a difference.

Supplies

What great finds I found this past week

I went to a great estate sale and the young lady was selling her grandparents stuff.  There was a box of painting supplies I needed.  I think I got every thing on my art list I was missing, some burnt umber paint, bushes, a frame, tools for my mixed media!!

At the antique mall in Black Mountain I found great out door plates and knobs.

Beautiful lace

This cremlin was a find at The Tobacco Barn last month and I used a small piece to create a wonderful shaw for one of my mini mannequins!

Another thing I did was use vintage lace and one of my stensils to create this design on one of my art projects!!

This weekend I will be creating fun projects with my recent finds and will share those with you next week in the mean time I am Sharing with:




 

Have a GREAT Weekend!!  Di
