A Little Spring

 Looking forward to Spring,  my Living Room Mantel and Armoire said  “We need some Spring-y  greenery and some Magnolia Love.”
(Like Nannette and Babbette, they talk... or I'm
I  hearing voices?)


The Vase is  Vintage 60’s  Art Glass.  My Husband, when he was a wee lad,  gave this to his Mother for Mother’s Day.

    I loved having a chance to get a glimpse inside your home and look at all of your goodies. That Bentwood Rocker really sends me, so I'll be anxious to hear what you have to tell about it.

    You have so much going on there and with the promise of spring and warmer days to come, who needs to go outside?
    Love it and I hope you enjoy the rest of winter in your girl-made spring home!

    Even if it's silk and it catches dust, nothing adds life to a room as greenry does. And besides, everything catches dust. I love what you've done. It's all so pretty.
