The temperatures are still a little cool around here to start setting out spring flowers, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t started thinking about what I want to plant.
I’ve recently happened upon all sorts of neat ideas for turning things into unique planters. Recycling unwanted household items by filling them with beautiful flowers is a win-win situation, in my opinion.
Chair turned planter
My grandpa gave me this cute old chair. It had a metal slat seat in it. I took the seat out and popped a planter into it. Doesn’t it look cute with this fern in it?
Have you all been to your local Dollar General lately? If you haven’t, you might want to pop in. If you’re a fan of the Pioneer Woman line at Walmart, you will love their spring stock. They have some of the cutest kitchen items I’ve seen in a long time…and it’s not expensive at all!
I came away with these salt and pepper shakers, a melamine mixing bowl, a Dutch oven (for looks, it’s probably not food safe) and a cute picture frame.
And those are just the things I bought. I wanted waaaaay more! I thought I’d share the cuteness that I loved, but left behind (and might still go back and get).
These sweet melamine juice glasses for $1.50
My kids are not allowed to use glass drinking glasses for obvious reasons. They sometimes get offended that they can’t have a pretty glass like the adults. With these, they could feel like they have a fancy glass…and at $1.50 a pop, if they drop it and break it, it’s no big deal.
These are $3 a piece but still adorable and worth the price.
Any hobnail fans in the house? I love that these glasses are hobnail and I love the color.
Pretty bottles for $3-$5
If you like glass bottles, grab a few of these to stash on top of your cabinets. Or you could even fill one with mini Christmas lights.
I just love these colors!
These small canister jars would be great to buy and fill with candy for a small gift, or even to store small goods in your own kitchen.
Who doesn’t want a flowered piggy butter dish?
This flowered butter dish is a cutie. I have a cow creamer that I’d like to put this beside.
A lettered sign that looks like a grain sack!
You all know how much I love lettered signs! Here’s a pretty one for $10!
What an adorable “tag” frame!
This tag frame could look cute in any room.
This would make a great utensil bucket.
This bucket reminds me of enamelware.
Which item was your favorite? My favorite would definitely have to be the drinking glasses. Comment down below and tell me which item you liked best!
Spring is fast approaching and each day, our trees bloom a little more. I’m also noticing our birds becoming more active. I love watching the birds each spring, and I even love incorporating birds into my decor.
As much as we love our little fine feathered friends, decorating with a real bird’s nest would be a bad-and unsanitary- idea. You can DIY a super cute faux birds nest that looks like the real deal.
First, get some grapevine twig moss or dried Spanish moss.
Then, take some aluminum foil and shape it into a little bowl. Now, make a little Spanish moss bowl and glue it to the aluminum foil bowl. I use hot glue but craft glue will work too.
Then, pop some faux eggs into your cute little nest. I found these at Walmart.
And best of all? These things cost less than $5 to make. What cute spring craft have you made recently?
Spring will soon be upon us. The gray and dreary winter days will give way to sunshine and green landscapes. I thought it would be nice to share some spring quotes today. I did not make these but found them on Canva.
I think these would be great additions to your lock screen wallpaper, your computer desktop, or you can print them out on sticker paper and put them in your calendar.
1. “Spring is when you feel like whistling, even with a shoe full of slush.” -Doug Larson
2. “Despite the forecast, live like its spring.” -Lily Pulitzer
3. “Springtime is the land awakening.” -Lewis Grizzard
4. “Bloom where you are planted.”
5. “The promise of spring’s arrival is enough to get anyone through the bitter winter!” — Jen Selinsky
I hope you all enjoy these quotes! See us later this week for a spring craft and a cute project.
Hello, all! We are gearing up for a tremendously busy but tremendously great spring season. I cannot wait to share the wonder we have in store for you all, but I first wanted to catch up a bit. If you follow me on Instagram, some of this will not be new to you. And if you don’t follow me on Insta, you definitely should!
Someone has been bad and needs to go to the Principal’s office!!
Ok, not really! But we did surprise these two with a trip to West Jefferson, Valle Crucis and Boone two weekends ago. They loved it and so did we. We even stopped by my grandma’s house and got to visit with my grandma, aunt and uncle, and cousins on our way home.
We finally got some snow!!
Not long after we came home from the mountains, it started snowing! It didn’t snow a lot but we were out of school two days and the kids enjoyed playing in it.
Cutie sisters
These two stinkers actually got along for a few days and I have pictures to prove it!!
Rehearsal
This one is gearing up for her next competition and has been practicing like crazy! Wish her well because those nerves are really starting to set in.
Selfie queen
This one commandeered my phone and took hundreds of selfies- I made a collage of her best ones…and laughed at how much her “selfie game” has improved.
It’s clean!!
And we have started cleaning out our playroom, since we are about to repurpose this room. Spoiler alert: it’s going to be used for something else, and no, it’s not a nursery for a new baby. Just in case anyone gets confused.
Join us this week for our spring home tour, some beautiful spring quotes and a round up of my favorite spring decor at local retailers. Have a wonderful week!
