Bringing In Some Springtime...

Around this time of year, I am always so ready for spring!  I've been bringing in some green...the combination of spring green and aqua is a favorite right now...









I painted wood eggs with aqua paint and made markings with a sharpie and a stain marker...then painted lightly over them again, to soften the spots ...





I downloaded this cute image from The Graphics Fairy



Isn't this a charming image?  I love the 3-D look...it's on my Pinterest Easter board




I spotted the first Robin of the season this week in our backyard, so warm weather shouldn't be too far behind!  Hope you are having some springtime where you live!

Until next time...

  5. Those robin eggs look so authentic, great painting job. It's interesting that you posted on green and aqua because I've just now started experimenting with aqua. Funny but it's a color I've never used in my décor before, but it seems to be popular down here. Your vignettes always looks so layered and interesting Linda. I hope it warms up over there. :)

  15. So pretty, Linda! I will have to print out that cute little pot of chicks! Thanks for sharing. Can you tell me what a stain marker is?

    1. Hi Christy! It's a touch-up stain marker for scratches, etc. It's like a paint pen, but stain. I use some made by Minwax. You can find them in the paint and stain area at hardware stores. They come in many different shades and I use them for many things...especially for covering scratches quickly!

  35. Poor Mister Robin, he's probably
    wondering where the heck his spring
    is! You know how I adore your styling,
    girlie. Where did you find pussy willow
    this time of year? I love the watering
    can on the stool with them inside : )

    Snow is coming on Friday, poor Robin!
