Life Moves Pretty Fast

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”  ―  Ferris Bueller It's so true. Last week I was checking out my many rose bushes and wondering when they would bloom. They seem late this year.  A few days later I was outside chasing one of my little dogs. She is losing her hearing and sight, but I swear her little legs are running faster than ever. It's never been like her to run off. While I was running after her (or more like hobbling and limping) I noticed a couple of bushes with a few roses.  After I got the pup settled and inside, I went back out to cut a few roses. The bees even took pity on me and allowed me to cut some of their sage blossoms. I placed the pretty little vase from my Mother's collection by a few Paris mementos.

Touches of the Season

It's been a few years since I put out any Easter-type decor. So why now? It's not that I have more time since I quit working outside of the home. It's just that I am working in my home, and a few hints of seasonal decor are nice to be around. 

 Of course spring decor reminds me of some of the whimsical Easter decor with bunnies and eggs. 

 Here are a few small touches of seasonal decor tucked among my "organized chaos of collections." 


In the late 1970's, my grandmother gave me several of these canning jars. I spray painted the lids, and have been using them ever since to hold dry products like rice, beans, and even pastel chocolate Easter eggs. Depression-era bunny toothpick holder.


 On a book shelf is an angel-bunny among my collection of amethyst crystals. Angel Bun is a miniature made with mohair fabric - and she is holding a mini mohair bear. 

A crocheted egg. Tucked inside is a miniature mohair teddy sharing space with a few ceramic birds and "Made in Occupied Japan" ceramic children.


Intricate hand beaded fabric egg that opens to hide your spring secrets.
