One of my favorite touches is the burlap ribbon I weaved through the tray, with a whimsical little "spring" on it...
I also love this "grass" basket I picked up at Downeast Home a few weeks ago:
The blue basket used to be in my little girl's room, but has since been collecting dust in my "stash" closet :) I love the little yellow flowers peeking out of the top.

I'm linking up at Layla's Spring Mantel party today!



















It's so pretty Holly!! I love how everything looks against the bright blue wall! I really like that pretty blue patterned book over on the far right too. Did you cover that? Meantioned you in my post today:) Thanks again for the sweet surprise before my trip! Have you read the HGTV magazine yet? I loved it!! I finished it on our way to Florida so I left it with my sis so she could read it to. It had so many great tips in it! And way less ads than a lot of magazines, I thought. I want to get a subscription now! Gotta wait though for a holiday to come up...already told Rob I want fabric for Mother's Day and our anniversary so can't use those two...:)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love the burlap "ribbon" going through the tray handles. Great job. I hope you'll link up to my Hippity Hop Easter Project Hop!
