"Spring Is In The Air..."

YES, Spring Comes Early in Tennessee for 2010! I Have Started Early in Anticipation for the Nashville Antique Shows in February I Will Be Involed In... So I Did My Booth in "My Look"...Folk Art, Primitive, French, Industrial, With A Little Modern Twist and Themed it ALL NATURAL! Tones of Brown, Cream, and Blue-Greens All Say; Change In the Season Is Here!

An All Natural Look for Springtime with My Form of "Recycling", Vintage and Antiques! Started Out With Old Metal Sawhorses that Are a Rusty White with Vines And Leaves Appear to Be Growing on Them; Are Topped Off With An Old Painted Green and White Wooden Door. Made a Grand Table to Set the Theme! A Textile Quilt from the 1860's in the Backdrop with Tones of Cocoa Brown, Black, Grey and Indigo. I Think it is a "Butter Churn" Pattern, Thats What Some of My Fellow Antiquers Told Me...Is Fantastic, Yet Modern Today!

Old Wood, Wicker and Metal Vibe Well, "Like People of Different Intrests Can Still Work Well Together if You Have an Open Mind and Are Placed Together!" Hahahaa

An Assortment of Old Ironstone Dishes, Pottery, Baskets, Glass Cloche' Domes, Even Real (Hollowed Out) Natural Eggs and Herbs ~ Rosemary! ( Real, Faux', and Dried, By Me!)

 Folk Art Knomes Hand Sewn and Painted Waits Sitting Atop a Felted Cabbage in an Old Flowerpot and Wood Base, Adorned With Antique Millinery Flowers, Crafted By Me!

One Of My Favorite Finds a 1930's Bird with a Nest Sitting on a Log Planter, Sits on an Old Ironstone Plate Protected With Its Tall Glass Cloche' Dome. I Added Some Natural Excelsor and Candy Eggs to Complete the Look. A Great Old Redware Clay Baking Bowl With Two Handles, Covered With a Wire Mesh That Resembles "Chicken Wire" To Me...Filled With My Own Dried "Rosemary Herb Potpourri."
Simple - Dried - Spring

A Grouping of Odd Flowerpots Always Make Me Smile...It Brings Back Memories of Being Asked to Go Out to The Shed and Get Some Pots to Plant Some Seeds In; to Put in the Windowsill At My Grandmothers House, "MaMa2". Yes, That Is Still What Everyone Calls My Grandmother! Funny Story About The "Nickname" Given By Me, Oh So Many Years Ago...I was About 2 1/2 and My Mother, Grandmother and I Were Going to Our Favorite Grocery Growing Up, H.G.Hill's. I Was In The Shopping Cart Being Me, "On Stage!" Some Lady Asked Me, "Who Is This?"...I Answered; "This Is My Mama and This is My MaMa2!" So History Was Made, Not to Mention I Was The First Grandchild and Still Put On A Pedestal To This Day By My Grandmother. I Love Her Oh So Dearly! She Actually Is The Reason I Am "Who I Am Today!" Growing Up I Was Always Told I Can Do Anything I Set My Mind To; Believe Me It Is Oh So True and Endearing. I Learned to Sew, Bake, Garden, Paint, Write, Create, Dream, Have Self Confidence, Never Be Afraid, Always Be Positive, Do It Yourself, and Do It Big...All From My "Mama2"! Now That I Had A Heart Felt Memory I Will Get Back...To Decorating for Spring, at Hand.

Use The Unexpected When Decorating for Spring and Use What You Like!
Grouping Old, Odd Flowerpots Are an Easy Look. They Can Hold Candles, Nests, Eggs...Imaginations the Limit! Even Little Vintage Dish or Saucer With a Small Glass Dome is "Calling for a Cupcake!" I Like Spring Scents to Liven Your Home Too...Forced Paperwhite Bulbs, Fresh or Dried Rosemary.
One Of My Favorite Candles "Crepe Myrtle" By NOUVELLE I Buy at A La' Maison on 8th Avenue! I Just Found Out That New Candles Just Arrived There Today In Scents Called; New Orleans, Delphenium and Grapefruit Blackberry! Cant Wait To Get Those,Too! http://www.shopalamaison.com/ 
Old Music Sheets, Even Player Piano Music Rolls Echo's for the "Fabric Songbirds" Made Out of Vintage Quilt Top Pieces.
I Found This Old Metal "Egg Separator" That Held 6 Dozen Eggs With The Original Paper Holders Inside. I Added Some Eggs and a Paper Music Sheet That States; "I Need a Home!"
Well I Have Enjoyed Pulling Together Some Ideas and Sharing My Springtime Ideas; Even a Little Reminicing...Now Think Spring and Have a Great Day!
