I Spy......

Looky looky.....what I spied with my big green eyes!
I didn't put on snow boots today for the first time in about 3 weeks...thought about flip flops but I thought that might be rushing things a bit. So as I went out to fill the bird feeders I noticed a little green clump poking out from some leftover snow, and there they were, stretching for the sun and staring me right in the eye...daffodils!

The more I looked the more I found...peeking their sleepy heads out of the snow and left over leaves.
 
This is the first time I've seen my fish boy in weeks he's been covered in an icy blanket of white crystal snow for what seems like forever....not so sure I should admit this on  a public forum but, I was so excited to see him I hust had to wave at him. Don't worry he didn't wave back.

Deciding to document this spring preview  I circled around to go back in and get my camera 
when, whoosh! a robin zoomed by! So, in case any of you were feeling as if winter will never end it's now  official, no matter what the weather man predicts, Spring is really on it's way.

I have a couple little announcements....I'm joining the gals at The French Cupboard
Look for me in the boutique section in the next few days.
I'm meshing in my gypsy style with all the wonderful unique treasures offered here.
...and stay tuned to their blog I will be sharing a few of my
"off school"  escapades on the Vintage Journal this summer.
and now the ramble...
As I sat here all day trying to come up with an appropriate button to show off my unique style...I came to realize....this is not going to be the "piece of cake" I thought it was. Granted I do know that I am a bit off kilter in my taste but, to have to come up with just one picture to grab the attention of potential customers was a bit of an excercise in marketing and self discovery.    I sifted through all my photographs trying to come up with just one. Rustic and dark, chippy and nordic chic...light and airy, florals or not... funky and wierd...I seem to encompass all of that.  
I couldn't even figure on color or black and white....
 I can't even tell you how many prototypes I made before deciding on this one and I'm still not quite sure it suits my eclectic style. So here's the final button, light, airy, rustic, lacy floral and a bit wrinkled....
thanks for reading my rambling....
