If you've read my posts before, I'm a Target junkie. Look at the goodies I got! My favorite is the cream colored pottery with the bunny.
I will offer these few items for sale in my shop http://www.thelavenderrose.etsy.com/ for Spring and/or Easter. They would be so sweet in a baby's room too! 
You are my sunshine is made with vintage bingo card, vintage bunny image, vintage ledger paper, scrap paper, sweet buttons, and a pom pom tail with a so soft pink yarn for hanging. It's approx 5.75 x 3.5 inches

Blue Bird and Flower Bird

Back:

Flower bird is made with vintage wallpaper, handpainted scroll wings with glitter, velvet flowers and vintage earring, seam binding for ribbon and hanger. Her eye is a vintage part of an earring. Her tail has my favorite sentiment 'Hope is the thing with feathers'. I also handpainted her back. She is approximately 9.5 inches from head to tail and 6 inches from belly to top wing scroll.


Now you are asking 'what's that?'. When I'm having a crappy day which is way to often now at my full time job. I can pull one of these bits out!

Blue Bird and Flower Bird

Bluebird is made with scrap papers, hand painted scrolled wings with glitter over it, sweet velvet flowers, and vintage earring and drop, seam binding for her bow and hanger. Her eye is a rhinestone. Her tail has a my favorite sentiment from Emily Dickenson 'Hope is the thing with feathers'. I also hand painted her back (see pic below). She will hang sweetly off a door, wall, mirror!

Lastly, here is our Magical Thinking Jar!

Children say the funniest things, yet all too often, you seem to forget them after a day or two. So I will start writing down the funnier moments of the day. This jar will be on my desk, and when the my little one says something particularly worthy of recording, I will put it on a scrap of paper and jot it down.So when I'm having a crappy day, I can reach in and pull out a quote.. and suddenly I'm laughing and running to hug my little one.
Simple to do:
Jar and pretty doo-dads! I used vintage crepe paper, seam binding in the middle, vintage flower, buttons, and fabric.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Hope everyone's weekend is going well. It's been raining here for days and its soggy! Major grocery store shopping is on the agenda and playing with my little one.
Happy Sunday

I have to share my front yard. After 8 years of living in a cookie cutter house (first time homeowners) I feel my gardens are finally coming to life! I never grew a garden before and the knowledge I did have was from growing up in New York. We don't have dirt here in South Carolina, it's red clay. It's taken almost 8 years of mulching to get some 'good' growing soil! I wish I had gotten a picture of my southern version of a lilac because it was the first year I had buds after 6 painful years :(
I haven't gotten to our back down by the fence mainly cause it's huge and the dogs have a track back there from running back and forth. We have a horse farm backing up to us. It's nice to have them come visit for an apple or carrot. Drives the dogs batty!
