Looking through the family room window. to the outside.......

Sharing pics of our back yard here in Arizona. The yard was a blank slate. We had to be creative and come up with ideas how to enjoy our yard. Especially  being so used of having a yard that has grass back in our previous home in IL.We are adjusting and having fun with it !! Still as we all know it never ends, Yet so worth it in the long run.I can never get enough of ideas for creating this home.
I was inspired to take these pics by my sister Kimberly who lives in Il. She is so creative and her pics are absolutely GORGEOUS !! Go check her blog out !!! Tell her I sent you. She is amazing !! kimberlysgardenglance.blogspot.com
Have a beautiful and creative weekend.....................

Sweet............

Yesterday was a good day. My friend Bren sent me a package in the mail. Inside was these sweet hand-made bunnies. I just love them. Even more so that Bren was kind enough to make the time to make them. The white dish is  ironstone . Which I love and collect.A sweet Easter card with little chicks on them They are adorable. Oh... M&M's too! Thank-you Bren for your friendship and thinking of me. I miss you. Your little package will soon be there. Sometimes I like to make her wait. He He.. Just a little. Bren gets really excited. Hugs 2 U Bren.
These beautiful flowers are from my husband Ted. So thoughtful. It made the rest of  my day. Thank-You Ted for taking the time to think of me and get me beautiful flowers. They kinda look like they came out of Bren"s yard. Hmmm... ... Don't worry there Bren. We live way far from you. He He.... Kidding you Bren . I love you Ted Thank-You !!!!!
I hope everyone's weekend is beautiful and creative................

 Here is our pantry closet reused into displaying some of my favorite fun funds. and some precious little Willows from family and friends are incorporated into the decor. This was so much fun to put together.. I love adding little details as well to it. I have little vintage lids  and some buttons scattered,  wooden cloths pins in the vintage white flower pots, old vintage hose nozzles, spools of string, vintage shoe laces.As you can see my love for ironstone. Im ready for spring you can say ?? Even though here in AZ the weather is much different than some of you are having. It is a adjustment from living in the Midwest at times.I do love the sunshine here.
