The Scent of Spring......

5/8/2018

Once again I find myself saying where does the time go between my blog posts! Well.......its complicated! To begin with I have been in New York for the past three weeks and prior to that my Daughter and Son visited for Easter and it seems I get caught up in so many projects! Sound familiar.....as they say Time Flies when your're having fun!
So let me share some of the great projects I've been up to.....
My first was the addition of my new "Old" door for my garden pictured above. As I stand at my kitchen window I imagined looking out and seeing a door like I've seen in so many beautiful garden magazines and of course Pinterest! So I went on a hunt and found this one at a local Antique store and happily dragged it home and set it behind my herbs. I draped a flag on top, an orchid to the side and hung an old Welcome sign. The Crystal knob was found at another antique shop and completed my look. I'm so happy as I gaze out each day and see it, and thinking of all the special touches that will be added for all the seasons of the year!

While in New York I found a little thrift shop in Flushing and picked up this cool Aqua Cooler. A true vintage find with original label and pristine inside. Of course not planning on using it for liquids but do plan as a centerpiece for an outdoor table with flowers or a vine in it. Love the look and actually a rare find according to Amazon where they have a few at $69.00 and up!

The Spring is so colorful and this year I've incorporated Blue's and Aqua in my kitchen and Family room! It started with a small blue coffee table found at an antique shop and has graduated to all sorts of finds and handmade items. I'm very proud of my new hobby embroidery and have started some projects.....here are a few!

Another great find was my aqua Magazine rack that says Once Upon a Time.... so me la la land! :)

In keeping with my opening shot of my new Garden Door .....here is another thrift find door with a Post Box! I'm going to love changing this each season! My front door below fit in with the Spring theme as well and I added purple and white flowers to the green wreath and all looks so pretty!

Here is my Family Room decked out for Spring!

My New York City trips always are memorable as I seem to encounter the most interesting people and of course great backdrops through out the City. Here are a few pictures from the annual flower show at Macy's. The theme this year was Once Upon a Springtime.....so sweet! ;)
