Tuesday's Treat

~*~

Today's treat comes to us from Olathe, Kansas!  Lynne sent these sweet photos of her Easter tree all decked out with sosorosey bunnies and stars.  Love that vintage quilt tree skirt, too :)

Here's the tree at night- so festive with the little pastel lights.  Since Lynne was nice enough to send these photos (and some very lovely messages), we will forgive her for already being ready for Easter!!  Thank you, Lynne- happy spring to you!

Thursday's Treasure

~*~

A big thank you to Coleen, who took the time to send photos of her stair treads in place... in the middle of her move to the new home no less.  They look fabulous with those white steps and the gray and yellow walls, don't they?!

And another treasure too exciting to keep to myself.  When I let the cat out yesterday afternoon, I looked down by the pool and this caught my eye.  What the??  My mind took it all in, but it was hard to believe a fox was just curled up and snoozing in the sunshine right in plain view.

He or she was actually quite lost in dreamland, because I went in and out of the sliding door a couple of times and that didn't even cause a stir.  Finally after I took a couple of photos of the sleeping creature, I made a "psst" sound and it finally looked up at me.  I expected it to be like, "Uh oh, gotta go", but it was more like, "Yes?  Can I help you?"

I couldn't get Sinatra back in the house at that point, and didn't want my little man to think he needed to defend his territory.  So, I made some more noise and clapped my hands and the lazy fox ambled off into the woods.  It's pretty exciting to stumble upon a wild creature in your own backyard!  Has that ever happened to you?

Baby Quilt

Just LOOK at the baby quilt made by the supremely talented Annette from My Rose Valley.  She used new fabrics mixed with some squares from sosovintage fabrics, and the result is one-of-a-kind breathtaking.  Lucky baby and lucky mommy!!  Thanks so much for sharing, Annette- looking forward to seeing the flower power quilt, too.
