Cute Chicks

Good Day!

Look what I found the other day at my local antique shop, SuzAnna's.

These ladies are old pipe cleaner chicks attached at the inner tops of their little eggs. The pipe cleaners are so soft and those used for their beaks and head dress are so tiny! And teensy tiny bead eyes. If you could see and hold them in person, they bobble ever so slightly making them so darn adorable!

These two put a great big smile on my face so I thought they might make you smile too! Have a great day! :) Kathy

Happy Birthday

Hello!

It seems I'm in birthday mode with my 'Birthday Boy' page from yesterday and today I have a birthday card share.

You might have to put on a pair of sun glasses for these bright and beautiful papers! They are from a new digital kit at Two Peas in a Bucket called 'Lizzie May - Just the Papers'by Chrissy W.

Lots of little details went into this baby from dry embossed polka dots and die cuts to ribbon, buttons and tags. It was quite fun to put together.

Hopefully whoever this goes to will feel like a star on their big day! :)

So what's going on with you? Whatever you have going on, I hope it's a good one! :) Kathy

Birthday Boy

Good day!

Oh boy! I'm almost a year behind on this scrapbook page! Next month is our son's 10th birthday and I'm just finishing last year's birthday page! Better late than never! Besides, I enjoy being able to scrap old photos from time-to-time. :)

This is a hybrid page I created with a new Two Peas in a Bucket digital kit called 'Hoopla'by Lauren Reid. Perfect for male birthday cards and pages, don't you think?

Along with the kit's papers and present accents, I added two types of American Craft Thickers,a Papertrey Ink die cut for my journaling and a Fiskars border punch.

A little ink around the edges and some hand stitching...this page is done! Like? I like the simple design.

So, what's going on with you, my blogger friends? Do you have projects to share as well? A busy day planned? I'll have to go on a little blog hop to see what's up. I hope you have a wonderful day! :) Kathy

Rabbit Invasion!

Hi!

Spring is in the air! Daylight savings time starts next weekend and our flowering plum tree has started blooming! Ah...my favorite time of year! This weekend I brought out our birds, nests, eggs and rabbits! Lots of rabbits!

Just like Valentine's Day decorating, I like to keep it simple, a little shabby chic vintage, nothing too colorful or over the top. It's easier that way...to just add a few touches to what is already out and to use what we already have in different ways. Would you like to see?

This display in our foyer uses the metal cake stands and frogs that are out year round. The frogs are from different junk hunt trips.

 This rusty rabbit was a flea market find from last spring. I think he was just $6-8.

 I bought these sweet little quail eggs a couple weeks ago at an antique store for just .20 each. They're real and so darling.

Here's a shot of the coffee table where I just added this nest. The rest was already there.

To the console table in the family room I changed the scrabble word from 'love you' to 'spring' and added the vintage German paper mache egg to the wood tote.

On the opposite side of the console table I added the wire egg holder that I got at Home Goods for a song and put our vintage bunny chocolate mold and antique metal eggs in the bread bowl that was already there.

Over the fireplace I made only one small change. These iron rabbits replaced a bird that was perched on the stack of books.

This fifty cent thrift store paper mache duck is sitting in the kitchen window. Just a touch of spring and Easter in the kitchen.

The china cabnet is housing a few rabbits like this Lefton guy...

and this ceramic pair. Aren't they sweet little things?

This pair of rabbits are made of glass and housed candy before plastic containers were invented.

Last, but not least, another thrift store find, this adorable chicken egg cup.

I hope I've inspired you to add a few spring touches to your home. Or at the very least, I hope you enjoyed seeing the decor from our home.

I wish you a wonderful Monday! :) Kathy
