Bringing in the Spring!

Sometimes, it does the soul a little good to sow the seeds of the coming season. And, planting and pruning your garden always seem to clear the mind and rest your worries. I told you I fell in love with these 15 X 30 canvas'! I feel like it creates the illusion of a story book laying wide open.
The edge of the canvas has some crumpled paper, some antique stain and a whole lot of crackle. : )
Just a few of my favorite things...
Of course, little Miss kitty is delighted at the propect of lazy days, in the sun on the porch.
Have a great week!

  2. Oh, Julie! This is gorgeous. I love that little kitty - what a sweet face. I also adore the bird sitting on the wagon. And, of course, the sweet girl image. Everything about it is just purr-fect! And it does make you think of spring, as I sit here writing amidst another little bout of snow!
