Caravan Fairies!

I have been lingering on Etsy.com for the past hour! It has been such a relaxing afternoon sipping coffee, listening to music and adding new Etsy websites to my list of things to purchase when I win the lottery!!
I found this card by Treasure Seeker Studio and it made me smile thinking of these colorful and happy fairies gathering among my new gypsy caravans!
I love the bird cage I am going to have to find one for my Gypsy Carvan Park!
Check out her other designs here!

I am not completely done......I need to add some bells and whistles (literally:)

I just had to share with all of you who inspire me so very, very much!!
Keep creating my friends!!! xo

Bottle Trees- LOVE THEM!

I love these whimsy fabulous trees.....which were created years ago to keep away evil spirits....but since we don't have evil spirits...I just think they look funky and colorful in my garden!

I had two bottle trees last year but I did not have many bottles (I only drink red wine so I had to have my friends bring me their white wine bottles...which are blue:)! It is a good excuse to have friends over ....to collect bottles for garden art....needless to say, I have collected a large number of blue bottles this winter so hopefully my bottle trees will look like the one above once spring rolls around!
How gorgeous are all of these colors!!! I may have to add a few rainbow bottle trees too.....

Oh and if I had a fence I would TOTALLY place bottles along the top....so whimsy....



Makes me want to open a bottle of wine......;)

Some Fabulous Finds....

Hello my friends! I wanted to share some things that have crossed my path this week! It has been a week full of delicious-ness!

First, I must show you the potting bench that my husband made for me!
What a Valentine’s Day gift! I found a picture of this VERY SAME bench in a Better Homes and Gardens magazine and put a Stick-It note with the words I LOVE THIS on the page.
I left it for him to see but didn’t think he’d MAKE one!
He and my son worked on this for over two weeks (well, my son worked on it for two days) and surprised me on Valentine’s Day!
Isn’t it perfect??? (don't mind the mess around it....he had to make it in the storage basement:)

Next…a little something I bought myself.
Look at this plant stand!
I found this at Gordmans the other day and fell in love with it! It is so different. It was MADE for my downstairs bathroom!
A Rainbow Chime Maker!
I got this for my birthday but totally forgot about it!
I found it when I was cleaning my room this morning!
It is placed in a window where the direct sunlight hits the solar panel; the warmed solar panel swings a crystal prism that creates rainbows to dance around the room while gently knocking the wind chimes making a soft tinkely sound!
A little valentine present from Max....LOVE THIS YUMMY SMELL....it is lit as I write this...

A bouquet of daffodils from my friend….

A little something I made with my new metal stamping materials....I am still learning....but wanted to share

Cupcake Calamity
A gift from Wendy from Wonderland (http://candydelane.typepad.com/curiosities/)
I won Cupcake Calamity on Wendy’s last giveaway! I never win anything so I was tickled! We are going to have a cupcake party when she arrives….she will be the guest of honor!
I can't wait...she is on her way:)!!!

And HELLO PEACOCK WREATH!
I am thinking of buying two more and putting them on my kitchen table around the three candle hurricanes that are there now filled with conversation hearts.

…and speaking of Peacocks. I have to share this blog with you!....I don’t even know how I found it but I wish she would post three times a day with pictures of her shop!
Check her out...you'lll love it!

and may YOUR week be filled with fabulous-ness!! Xo
