I have to share my beautiful southern lilac bush--took this pics Easter morning. I've pampered this baby for years and I FINALLY got a couple of blooms last year. I have moved her around my yard, treated this awful red clay, and for heaven's sake I was going to have a reminder of my love of lilacs that I grew up with.
Now look at her:
I can't believe my pics came out as well as they did with the sun as bright as it was and didn't even have to edit much.
So here is my other love of my life. Being a bunny with Grandma!
I've got some May Day basket swap pictures to share but she hasn't received it yet --soon!
Toodles for now!
I love reading about the goodies people find but I honestly have to say, right now, I'm lucky if I get a full night's sleep. Finding the time and energy--it will have to wait. Also I don't have anyone in the area that really enjoys the hunt.
I have to show my new obsession (I mean collection!).
Vintage Postcards
Okay, at first, I thought I can make some collages but as I keep collecting more of these beauties- I just enjoy them. All 4 are from the early 1900's and have the most interesting handwriting. I paid $3 for all the flower ones. I splurged on the bunnies $3.50 for the card itself but I HAD to have it. I have a 'thing' for bunnies. Sad but true--I admit it!
Just a couple of sweet Easter goodies I made. Sometime's the image is great by itself and all it needs it some glitter and ribbon!
Isn't this an awesome photo?
Enjoy your weekend!

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!

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!
She is approx 9.5 inches from head to tail and approx 6 inches from belly to top of scroll wing.

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
xo, Kris
