bunnies are eating my garden...

Spring Fever

Can you have spring fever and start decorating even though it is snowing outside?

Even though it is freezing outside?

Don't know... but I don't always follow the rules.

So, spring it is!!

The bunnies, the grasses, the eggs.... the color. Bring it on !!!

my new butterfly canvas will brighten any room...

I love the wall behind the bunnies

raw lumber, numbers, aged clock, industrial lamps...

say no more

I love my egg crates...

A customer came in the other day and stood and stared for a long time at this area. She then turned to me and smiled, she didn't say anything, but the look on her face told me that she got it. She saw all the layers, all the little quirks and the small touches.... she got it.

So I smiled back ...

appreciation is a wonderful gift.

lazy days and Sundays....

love the garden pillow

so sweet

my big bunnies sold out immediately.... but I have managed to order more

my talented friend Renee brought in some of her bunnies.

aren't they cute together

I love the shadow my bird cast.

This was a long post so I hope it brings a little bit of hope that spring is out there.... somewhere... not outside here in Minnesota... but for sure inside here at the Barn.

have a wonderful fun filled / restful weekend. L

the Bags are in...

We are a bunch of bag ladies aren't we?

If you are anything like me.... love them....

...have to have it when I see it.

I usually can rationalize my need by saying,

it's the perfect size

the price is right

it will hold all of my things...

...catalogs, paperwork, journal, diet coke...

it's just the perfect size!!

I won't buy another...this is the last one

well it might be...?

These are it....the one!

I love the look... to say the least..

They are sturdy on the bottom and sides and have both a handle and a strap - love that!!!

I find I need the handle to grab to get out of the car, but then I can convert to the strap over the shoulder to free up my hands... LOVE.

$26

not bad

double sided print

also the smaller sized wine tote

$14

so fun.... oops we opened the bottle of wine early

We are having a hint of early thaw here in Minnesota.

I believe it hit the high 40's yesterday - almost 50 degrees !!

Same again for today.

Everyone is out and about and smiling, which is so fun.

I love when the Barn is bustling with guests, all looking for something fresh and new for their homes.

.... all looking for something unique and different...

that is why they come to me!!!

Or so they say???

But I love to hear it because that is what I strive for...

... my style, which is a little different then everyone else.

Big News

The website will soon be under construction for it's much needed face lift

AND online shopping.... There, I said it, it's out there...soon!

architectural dream come true

Happy Valentine's day

I should be doing a post on St Valentine; however, I really don't have anything prepared.

SO I am sending an Architectural Angel your way.

To spread some architectural LOVE.

when I found all of these pieces together AND for sale I about wet my pants!!

these old wooden molds are too die for...

they don't look to shabby in my display either...

on the wall, on the table and in the book case

The clocks you see on the wall are those funky stick on / peel and remove.... I know they are kind of cheesy but sometimes a girl has to improvise. Clock faces, in assorted sizes, are hard to come by and these can be placed around separately or grouped. For a measly $38 why not give em a try...
