I thought I'd create a little Spring cheer around here as I see rain, rain, and more rain is in the forecast for the weekend. I am loving the pop of color and texture of these flowering branches–created by 'forcing' early blooms indoors.
Country Home Magazine ~ March 2008
Need instant gratification? Pick-up an inexpensive, mixed bouquet of blooms from the grocery store and divide it up to create miniature bouquets throughout your home. Get creative with containers–tea cups, vintage silver, spice jars and recycled bottles add interest and charm.

I'm already feeling perkier, aren't you? Discover more bouquet 'how to' at Country Home {the new March issue is great by the way...pick one up if you can }.
I'm wrapping up a work project, so will be signing off until Monday. Until then, I leave you with some inspiring links I've discovered while out and about this week...think of it as your weekend site~seeing guide. Who knows, you might even be inspired to complete a rainy day project–I've been eyeing the paint cans and brushes myself...
Explore the newly created Pikaland–conceived by Amy, the creative talent behind re:makeables. Many of my favorite indie artists ~ as well as some fresh finds ~ conveniently gathered in one place–love it!
Paint it pretty. Rainy, wintery days are perfect for tackling an indoor DIY project. Currently inspired by this, this and Erin's post from yesterday.
Have a wonderful weekend friends...thank you for all of the
lovely comments this week ~ they truly make my day!
Lovely photos, makes me forget about the snow out my window! Thanks for stopping by and doing the survey!~xo
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful images! seems like everyone is yearning for Spring to arrive - here in Australia we havnt had much of a summer but are still looking forward to Autumn and cool weather!
ReplyDeletewish we had Anthropologie over here - such a cool store!
Just came upon your blog while taking a journey through this world of blogging. I just love anything anthropologie! Everytime I get my catalog, I am as excited as a little girl!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, can't wait to come back.
Ah, you used my tip! Aren't they cute? I love what you've done w/ flowers in your home (Tuesday's post). You've inspired me to do the same! I'm assuming that your "great-grandmother's" vase is from the other side of the family!?!?!

ReplyDeleteanastasia: I always forget that it's currently summertime in Australia...you must be tired of 'hearing' our moans and groans for Springtime :)
