Moss Letter for Spring!

Loving SPRING!
My Mantel needed some updating. . . .
and Jay said , again?
Every season it needs a Face lift,
and I helped him understand, it was cheaper than me having one!
I went to Home Goods and the thrift store,
Then JoAnn's.


Can you tell what is from the Thrift Store?
The Lovely Vase, perfect color, perfect size and the price was right - $1.00!


I was visiting a friend, and she had a moss Letter.  It added so much to her shelf.  Since I was desperately trying to find something to finish this off , I knew this is what I wanted to do!



The Letter and the moss, were purchased at JoAnn's



The Spray adhesive was from Walmart. I had researched to find how to apply the messy moss, and this worked GREAT!  I sprayed the letter in sections (make sure you do this outside,) and then would add the moss.




A fairly simple project, that added the much needed touch!



Then I made a U for a darling Daughter who had a Birthday!

Vintage Paper Flowers

Do you love pinterest as much as I do? 

I love vintage paper flowers, and I spyed these cute ones on pinterest. It took me to Sew Inspired, and there was a tutorial.  Yahoo!

So on one of my trips to the Thrift Store I bought an old Readers Digest Book.  I made the mistake of reading one of the stories, and it was so good, I read all 4 stories.  It delayed me a day taking the book apart for the old pages.




This book cost $1.00 and has 520 pages - That is A LOT of flowers.





My first attempt, not bad - could be better.



These flowers all were cut the same size but came out different. . .



I added some small clothespins bought at JoAnn's.



Love!
