Vintage toolbox and birdhouses

 Good morning ! Thanks for visiting .. I found this vintage tool box at a flea market last year for $10.00 .. I wanted a little bit of spring in it and found these wooden birdhouses at Joann fabrics.. They were in those dollar bins. I painted them off white and found some wood to stack them on in the toolbox.

 The greenery is a garland from Hobby Lobby and the daisies I had left over from the porch pillow and wreath. I had to add some of that black and white check burlap ribbon.

It just makes a cute springy addition to the foyer.

 I still haven't filled up the top of the china cabinet , I have put things in and taken them back out :) I think I want either off white or aqua dishes in there but haven't found the right ones yet. Hopefully I can get some dishes and fill it up soon !! We still also need a chandelier..Thats another decision !

 It makes the kitchen and dining room seem so much bigger with the wider doorway... So glad we lived through that mess to do it.

 I used this metal basket for a little vignette on the server top... I found the aqua bird at Michaels, the brown bird on the metal at Hobby Lobby.. Used some of my Grandmothers china to stack the bird on and added some greenery.I still need something on the wall here too.. It all takes time :)

 We celebrated 2 birthdays on Saturday , My oldest son turned 33 in April and we just haven't had the whole family together til Saturday .. The second to youngest son turned 19 on Friday ..

 The youngest grandson got his first haircut on Saturday .. We were all there to watch ! He is just Mr. Adorable :) He didn't cry or fuss , just got the job done.

 Saturday was also Prom for my middle childs girlfriend.. I took ALOT of pictures ! His girlfriend is 2 years younger and this was their second prom.. He has been to 5 proms ! I should have bought a tux instead of renting them every year :)

Hope you all have a great week!

Daisy blanket , African flower blanket and prom

Prom was Saturday and here are my boys with their dates.. They all looked so good !

The daisy blanket is finished! 192 squares ..I think its my favorite blanket so far , until you get further into this post and see the other blanket..:)

I finished crocheting this african flower blanket last year May 6 , I had a deal with my daughter ( since the blanket is for her) that she would sew in all the ends..well she did a few and then it sat on a chair upstairs until this weekend when I finished sewing in all the ends, exactly a year later on May 6 !  Ihttp://priscillas2000.blogspot.com/2011/05/african-flower-doneexcept-for-sewing-in.html ( the original post for the blanket) Its gorgeous finished ! There are 142 hexagons, plus half hexagons..

thanks for coming by !
