plant stand & vase ~

It's a gorgeous day in the north woods! Spring is showing her face ... :) and it's putting a smile on mine.

I decided I needed to do something today on the crafty side ... so here's what I came up with.  I had an old table with a swivel top that was in need of a new top.  I took the old top off and screwed on a slab of wood.  I think it'll fit the bill for where it's going ... out on my deck this summer with a bushy plant sitting on it.  Or maybe it'll get tucked into one of my flower beds for some added height for a flower pot. 

I was still feeling folk artsy so I took an old hurricane vase and painted a butterfly on it.  I thought it'd be cute with some fresh cut flowers ~ like daffodils if they ever get to blooming ...  sitting out on the deck ... or maybe on my new slab topped table.

There's still a lot of snow in our yard ... but around the trees ... it's disappearing fast ... and the grass is already greening up under the snow.

 

This little red squirrel was enjoying the sunshine as much as I was :)

Brandy is enjoying the warm weather too .... just lazing around soaking in some sunshine.

 

It won't be long ... and I'll be in my happy spot ... digging in the dirt :) ... planting flowers ... and some veggies.  Oh Spring ... how long I have been waiting!

Until next time...

So it goes in my neck of the woods.
