Springtime Dreams.....

I can hardly wait for my spring flowers to appear.  It's still going to take awhile for those of us who live in Alaska, but I know spring is just around the corner.  

I would say a little over a month to go!!!

So until then I'll just paint pictures of

flowers...

or

maybe stitch them on  a 

pillowcase 

or

onto

little tea towels like this one.

When the time arrives for gardening I will be in the 

garden sometimes until one o'clock in the morning.

That's the best thing about Alaska in the summer!

Living in the land of the midnight sun does have some advantages!!!

And I have my little bird nest on the coffee table to remind me

that spring is on it's way.

The butterflies are real, sometimes I find them on the side of the road

when I walk to the post office.

Nests, eggs, chicks, flowers and baskets

all remind me that my favorite holiday

is getting closer.

I love this holiday.

 The colors are so inviting after the

long snowy winter months.

I love everything about Easter! 

Easter egg hunts were a big event for my children

and so much fun for me and my husband.

When our kids were older we decided to hide dollar bills around  the house.

This became a favorite tradition.  

I was looking at a magazine the other day and came across 

this really cute room.

I just love the different shades of white.

And... I loved 

the photo of these beautiful bone handled knives

like the ones below.

They would look great on a table like this one.  

A great table for springtime dreaming!!
