Can anybody out there that might be reading this help me to figure out how to change my header??? I want my blog title inside the little tag by the birdie and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it!!!! I've decided I want to change my blog background, etc. once a month and it's become this maddening obsession--kinda like an itch you just have to scratch!*! so if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it.

Ode to Violets
I thought I'd try to evoke some warm feelings of spring on this bitter cold day by putting together a vignette using some vintage items I've recently found with a sweet violet theme.
This was one of my favorites--so delicate!~~Keep the pinky extended!*!

Revamping my craft room...a little facelift!!
I decided my craft/sewing room needed a little facelift and some much-needed reorganization. I also wanted to use my vintage garden collection to spruce things up a little. I spend quite a bit of time in there (when I'm not blogging!) and this collection always makes me smile...especially this handsome little guy...
his patina is perfect! He's spent alot of time in the sun and the rain.
This is the cupboard that now houses my collection. As you can see, it was nothin' but a HOT mess!! So I put all my fabric in totes in the closet, tore the fabric off the doors and.....
Gotta love cloches!! I just ordered a bunch more in different sizes for the store. Can't wait to get them!!

Celebrating Home
I recently purchased this book at the Red Rooster and have been devouring it ever since. It is divine!!
Sweet spring setting!
Every season is celebrated with fabulous, unique ideas that are VERY inspiring!! Love this little 4th of July trike. Love how they used poker chips to hold the flags in the vase~~SO clever!!

Memories Antique Mall
This mall can be a hit or a miss--some of the booths weren't very inviting and some I just stood and stared at all the GOODS! This booth was one worth drooling over!!!

Some of my finds from my junking adventure (Tues.) with my friends Katherine and Linda. We went to the Neenah-Menasha area, and had a great day!
