Roads of inspiration

Thursday was my day to drive to Orange to fluff the space.
I do this about 2 or 3 times a week and I'm always pleasantly surprised to see that our goodies find their way to new homes.
I also take a few minutes to walk the store and check out the new merchandise and the wonderful displays...lots of talented dealers here!

Yesterday, I noticed that many spaces were already getting ready for Spring and Easter...soft colors, beautiful florals...couldn't wait to get home and work on some pieces of my own...


I like how the first two candles turned out...

I like being inspired...

The new season, I know, has much to offer.

I hope you are ready to receive it!

If you are in need of some Spring inspiration, spend an afternoon at

What a great idea for those candles. My dollar store doesn't have these. I'm so bummed because I totally want to do this!

These are some of my favorite things you've done. They really speak to me.

Can I ask a question? Or two?

Did you use regular paper? Velum?

Did you just print and mod podge? And will the ink smear if I just print and mod podge?

If I lived in Ca. I'd run to your store. In Ohio, I'm going to have to make it my darn self.
