it really all started with this:
okay, okay ~
yes,
I"ll admit it!
I carefully removed ripped this sprig
off of a tree from the Home Depot,
it has been calling me ever since...
* I think I may have to own it now
* it WOULD be the right thing to do ~ LOL!!!
* it really is called a french willow
* and it IS gorgeous!
*it's settled then!!
*here willow, willow!!
sooooo,
as I was saying...
*here willow, willow!!
sooooo,
as I was saying...
THAT ripped off sprig (literally)
* I'm not proud of what I did,
I'm just sayin' :(
I'm just sayin' :(
was my total inspiration for this early spring vignette
this is my chicken wire cloche ~
I simply adore these and have various sizes around my home:)
( if you like the look of these too, you can pre-order them HERE )
((no, I do not get a kick back, I just know how it is to adore something!!
~that~
and I spent almost a year searching for them ~ lol!!))
anywho...
here is my early spring vignette...
a small bird nest on top of a paper seed cup that I tied with some vintage lace
and then tucked in a milkweed pod (LOVE those!)
a vintage image copy of Mary,
a rhinestone Jesus pin,
and my personal favorite
that sprig of French Pussy Willow...
oh look!
another holy candle!!
(I think I'm up to about 10 of these, floating around my house!!)
but this one has one of my silk prayer ribbons tied around it.
aaahhhhh...simple elegance...
so now I'm off to secure what started it all
The French Pussy Willow Tree!!
