Adding Greens

Adding some greens helps to soften 
and bring in warmth to a space.





a splash here
and there.
  




So looking forward to warmer spring weather
when the grass is green, the leaves on the trees
 start to bud and I can sit on my patio for my morning cup
of coffee and listen to the birds singing in the trees,and
enjoy the outdoors again.

love and blessing!

Storage

Storage in the bathroom.

 finding these glass containers
and putting them to use in the bathroom.
My husband does not have to ask where are the cotton balls


 or the bath salts, lol which he never uses
(found the little white cup at a local thrift store)
it was perfect for this


how about the q-tips


towels and wash rags




keeping everything in the open keeps me organized 
and allows him to find things. (most of the time)

love and blessings,
Ruby

Vintage Hankies

Adding some spring to this dreary day
  
 before
  
adding
old  vintage  hankies, 
wooden clothes pins
 and twine
 and adding some spring colors to my windows
  

so fun and cheery,
  light and airy,
 so simple.

Oh what awaits me
but 3 white shirts

yes, just waiting to be ironed.
A much dreaded chore for me.
 but after its done WOW!
such a good feeling,
until I wear it again and the process
starts all over.

love and blessing,
Ruby

Quotes


 Trying to find some thing for a friend for her 
Birthday I came up with this idea,
 Why not make something she can use every day
 for a whole year( till her next birthday)

 I started collecting quotes and typing them into my documents on 
the computer till I had collected 365.
 I then printed them off


and with my cutter cut them all apart


folded each one up and put them in a jar


 closed it up and added a piece of twine and a tag 


simple but time consuming ,
But she is wroth ever minute I put into it.
 I hope you will enjoy pulling an inspirational quote from the jar every day
 for the next year!

Happy Birthday Friend!!
