I Finally Found One...well Another One!!!

I have been stalking the aisles of Home Goods for MONTHS. I have 3 stores that I go to regularly but have come up dry every visit. SO, I finally went to the internet and found JUST what I was looking for and for less than I could have imagined. I was prepared to pay more so feel very fortunate that I found this! As I said, I have 2 others, but wanted another and you'll see why soon. Here it is! A new blue and white garden stool.

I wanted to get another one to balance the look of the fireplace as I have one on the other side.

I just love the design!

This is the one on the other side. I may get another pothos plant for the new one.

I really like the more balanced look.

For now I placed one of my favorite containers that has a faux fern it it. I love this handled container that I have had for years.

I have packed away all the bunnies that were Easter bunnies but have left these here on the mantle and hearth. I will change this area a little later in the Spring.

Thanks for your visit! I am lightening up and paring down for the Spring and summer. For this girl, that is hard as I love to be surrounded by the things I love:) I hope you have a wonderful, SPRING day. We may get SNOW this weekend. THAT does NOT make me happy!!!

I Just Couldn't Resist!!!!!

Happy May everyone!!! Where did April go so fast???? So, I have been looking, on and off, since we moved in here for new artwork for the fireplace. I never thought I would find something that I LOVE and was the right size. BUT I DID!!!! I was just browsing one night at the Pier 1 site and bam! I saw it! So, after we (Joe) got it hung for me, I had to redo the mantle and hearth!

Since the artwork makes such a statement, I kept the mantle design rather simple. I combined a blue hydrangea garland and a white hydrangea garland. Then I just added the candles. Simple but petty.

On the hearth I used my white basket and wired a green wreath to it then added a nest.

I love the little bird on the jars lid.

I will use this all Spring and Summer then will decide if I will keep it here for Fall and Winter.

I actually like that it isn't framed. It keeps it simple and can go with anything.

I have had the blue hydrangea garland for YEARS! I hadn't used it for awhile, it was stored away. But I knew I could combine it with the white one.

The white lantern got a nest inside. I perched a bird onto my bowl that I turned upside down and put a nest of greens under it.

These clay pots with nests and eggs are an old staple too.

At night, the lights come on.

I am so happy with the carved wooden lanterns on the hearth. I can't believe it took me over 4 years to put them here;)

Thanks for your visit. I hope you are having beautiful Spring weather where you are. We are so enjoying being able to sit out on the deck or patio! I have decorated it and have gotten all my pots planted so will share that soon too. Have a beautiful day!!!
