Colors Around My Yard

My beautiful pansies on the front porch.

 My Dianthus coming back from last year.

 My wild Violets in the back yard.

More Violets and Periwinkle.

And two pretty red tulips that I brought in from the yard. Stay safe and stay in. This too
will pass.

First Day of Spring

Thursday was the first day of spring and the temperature
was higher than usual. I was at work in Charlottesville helping
a customer decorate her den on line, she just had surgery. I sent
her three or four options and I had a customer call and ask me to send
him a picture of an IMG chair that was on the floor. So I got the call
I knew was coming, they shut my store down for 11 days or two weeks
with no pay, the other store will remain open. Life sucks for me right
now, but at least I safe and not exposing my self to this virus. I have been
working on things that I had put off, I did my taxes, billed my client for
my hours and the trim I ordered for her and I sent fabric sample to my
client in Richmond for her chairs. I have a few sales on ebay that need to
ship and some items that I need to list. I snapped a few pictures from around
the house for you.

 I picked some flowers from the yard, love Daffodils, they smell so good.

 Here are the pansies I put in a few weekends ago, I love the mix of color.

The Easter wreath I made last year, hopefully the world will be a better place by then
and people will be able to go to church to celebrate.

My collection of Easter eggs on me dining room table, some home made and some
given to us.

Speaking of giving things, I ran into an old friend and co-worker at the funeral I went
to in December. Her name is Missy Goode, and she is now a great artist, she goes to
church with my dad and asked for his address, she wanted to bring him a painting for
me. How sweet is that, as you can see in the picture above how talented she is.

I moved the goats to the dining room, they came from the Beverley Street Co- op Art
Gallery in downtown Staunton. My new painting went in its place in the den. Please
stay safe and pray that this thing will pass soon.

It's Time To Get Ready For Spring

A couple of weeks ago while at the dollar store, I purchased the material to make
this cute Spring/ Easter wreath and hung it on the door.

 Even though Spring and Easter are not here yet, I am ready for it. It was snowing today
with flurries off and on.

I found the pansies at Lowes last week and filled the planters, I have to cover them with bags at
night because it is still below 30 degrees.

One more day of cooler temperatures and then it is warming up. I have never been more
ready to see Spring.

Easter Sunday and Spring Decorating

I was lucky enough to have Spring Sunday off, so Mandy and I
headed down to Richmond to see my children. My daughter Ellie
bought a new house so we met there to see what she had done.

Very cute brick house in Henrico that she is renovating with her boyfriend Wes. My
son Edmund also showed up with his dad and we sat down and had a nice time catching
up. Then it was on to my sisters to celebrate Easter with my family. Monday I went back
to my clients house in the fan to remeasure some windows and hang her shades in her kitchen.
I left there and Mandy and I had a great time in one of my favorite haunts, Class and Trash at
Scott's Addition.  I saw a lot that I liked, but came home with another pair or French Arm Chairs,
see last years post at Easter to see the pair I brought home last time.

These two are a pretty shape, with old silk fabric and worn arms. They will hang out
with me until I can figure out what I want to do with them. I moved the 5 leg French chair
to my bedroom and really love it there.

I wanted a little color behind my sad rental stove and found this cute bird plate to hang there.

I planted some pansies in my urns last week and got out my spring wreath for the front
door.

Despite the resent snow and the maybe snow tomorrow, my Hydrangeas are coming up.

Next post will be that spring is finally here!
