Spring Has Sprung Chez Barb

Spring is still a couple of weeks away and Easter isn't until the last weekend in April but like so many of you I can't wait any longer for spring to come.

I'm lucky to be in Florida this week so I'm getting a break from the cold rainy Chicago weather but I know that when I get back there will still be plenty of winter to endure. I'm taking advantage of the warm sunny days in Florida and focusing on welcoming the feeling of spring  while I'm here.  I should be really inspired to spruce up the Illinois house when I get back. 

I've been playing around with my "stuff", arranging and rearranging, trying to put together some vignettes.  I came up with a couple different looks and now I have a bit of spring sprinkled around the house.





Whatever is happening outside- I don't care, 'cuz spring is in da house!!







Oh,  and I hope to share my Florida family room next week.  Still trying to get a few decent photos.  I don't know if it's my camera or me (more than likely me) but I have a heck of a time taking a clear photo.

Have a great weekend and I hope to see you at some linky parties!

  2. Love your blue spring vignette. I have trouble with my handshaking when taking photos and understand that a tripod might clear up the images.

  7. We just got a major snow storm in OH and it looks like Spring will never come! So this post was exactly what I needed!

I am so hungry for spring. It's snowing at my house tonight :( Visiting from Show and Tell Friday. I hope you'll stop by Cottage and Creek and say 'hi'.
