Oh happy DAY

Oh happy DAY.

It is warm and things are melting.

Everyone is out and everyone is SMILING.

...every little thing is gonna be Alright !!

The chalkboard sign is an old window that really didn't have much going for it. So I dug out the chalkboard paint and then seasoned it with a piece of purple chalk to make it look nice and Vintage.  Change the saying daily, weekly or whenever you need some whimsy.

we have them and they are multiplying ...

furry little rabbits. 

I mentioned in yesterday's post we are doing an impromptu SALE for the weekend.

20% Barn items - store wide.

Spring cleaning

We have been cleaning house up here at the BARN.

Spring Cleaning.

Although the last 2 days were "Popsicle days" the furnace went out - again - and it got down in the 40's....can you say Brrrr. We don't get much done but shiver in those circumstances !!

It's not easy being housed in a big old Vintage Barn.

... now, the weather is warming and the furnace is fixed.

It's time to enjoy the SPRING weather that is coming.

We are having an impromptu SALE this weekend

.... COME on in.

The smell of a Crisp Apple

No flame needed.

Open the bag... dump in the fresh dried gatherings...

And smell the goodness of Apples.

As I've mentioned before... I continue to layer and enhance everything. I just can't help myself. Most things look great with layer 1 and 2, but my mind keeps going and soon I have layer 5 and 6 going on and then ... boom...it's over the top. Often too much for most ....

Stop me now.... lets get back on track.

As I was saying, I often enhance my bowl of freshness...

The bag of goodies has a lot going on, but to me a little extra vintage flare is needed.

Add some hardware or those ever-present wine corks that you have gathering...

There... a finished look.

It starts with a bag like this...

Ummm...Ummm

At my Barn, you will find the bags of dried apples here.

along with my favorite coffee cups and funky dishcloths

Spring is coming... Even tho. it is -20 degrees outside.

Which means it is around 58 degrees inside the Barn these days...

If you keep moving it's not bad, but I definitely wear layers and layers of clothes.

AND keep saying Spring is coming.

There you go...dump it out and add whatever you can find for your own enhancements.

If it smells like spring, it must be close by.

Stay Warm.
