Bring Your Branches Inside

Who needs to spend money on flowers this time of the year, when there are so many beautiful trees blooming?

Remember these ugly vases I bought from Hub's place a while back?

I know, I know . . . I got a lot of comments from people telling me NOT to paint them, but they just weren't my style. 

So after a few fresh coats of spray paint, I thought I'd share with you how I've been using these pitchers around my home.

You might remember that grubby bird I got at Sally Ann's (Salvation Army) too.  In fact, every piece you see on my mantel was either purchased at Hub's Place or the Salvation Army (except the candle -- which I got a Michael's).

Here is the second pitcher.

There it is, reflected through the mirror that we still haven't hung in the guest room for the big re-design.  We've been a little sidetracked, looking at houses, painting our front door black, and turning a closet into an office. 

Here's a closer view.

So if your weather is as cooperative as ours has been, get out there and find some beautiful branches to decorate your home this weekend.
