A Shopping We Will Go ...

(*Yawn*) ... if it rains or continues to be cold and gloomy much longer, I am going to turn into a bear and hybernate for the remainder of winter!  Please wake me up when Spring arrives!

During this stretch of icky weather we've had lately, I've been shopping!  However, admittedly, my favorite stops have been a bit disappointing as they're all doing inventory and s-l-o-w-l-y restocking with Spring goodies. 

Here are snippets of a few fun things I've found:

A collection of natural decorative balls ... the textures are fabulous:


A beautiful cream/glazed rooster:


A fun, french clock that I splashed with green, metallic paint:


Spring daisies promising me that warmer temps are around the corner:


Vinyl labels that I embellished with my chalkboard paint:


A beautiful wood and wrought iron piece:


Potpourri that has sea shells mixed in with beautiful reds, golds and creams pieces!


And, lastly, a beautiful brown and gold container:


I'm off to "tweak" so that I may share where I placed my fun, new finds!  And, while I'm playing, I'll join my fun and super talented friend, Kara, for Whassup Wednesday.

Have a great day and stay warm,

Becca

    Where oh where did you find that clock??? It needed to come home with me! :-) I really have been looking for one like that and the only one I found that I liked was $50 and well...couldn't justify it! I'm so with you on the weather and we cracked up the other day when the sun peaked out and Lauren said, "dat sun is too bwight mama!" Bless her little NW heart! :-)
    Love all of your finds my friend and can't wait to see the results of your "tweaking"!

    I have a cream rooster and I love mine! I know what you mean by this "doom and gloom" weather, sooooo depressing...today I woke up under the weather so to speak so didn't get anything done. Looking forward to sunshine and spring!

    Hugs!

    Beautiful finds!! Can't wait to see where you're placing all of them...especially the clock.

    This weather has almost gotten the best of me! Sun came out yesterday and it was WonDerFul!! I was about to turn into Freddie Krueger...and that would not be pretty, especially with this full moon. We have a chance of rain & snow on Thursday so keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't arrive.

    Have a wonderful week!

    Great finds! Can't wait to see what you do with all the pretties! I also like to go shopping in this yucky weather - that way, if I get snowed in (or iced in), I will have some new decorative items to "play" with!
