Be Inspired Showcase

I mentioned last week that I'll be showcasing some fun and inspiring links from the last week's Be Inspired. It just so happens that a few of these were also the top visited links. We had such a great party last week, it continues to grow and grow. Remember Be Inspired is now open to all inspiring posts, not just "vintage", so I hope to see you here each week!

Carola from Boxwood Cottage does holidays like no one else. If you haven't yet, go by and see all the wonderful vignettes and decor she uses to celebrate the Easter Season.

What birdie wouldn't want to chow down at this adorable Upcycled Teapot Bird Feeder from Mary at Home is Where the Boat Is? She takes serving it up to our fine feathered friends to the next level. She even shows us how she did it.

Betsy from My Salvaged Treasures took us shopping at a great vintage store, called Magpie Antiques. I think I could stay there all day.

And Linda from Coastal Charm  takes us shopping in our pj's 

when she gives us some fun inspiration for the kitchen.

Love these ironstone lids hanging on an old grate.

Today's Sponsor for Be Inspired Showcase is Leslie Janson

Leslie makes amazing cuff bracelets, 

just take a peek at these beautifes!

 Leslie has wonderful jewelry, pillows, 

and lot's of fun grain sack items to browse.

Hope you'll run by and check them out.

OK friends, 
be sure and come back tomorrow for

Easter in the Holiday Cupboard

You all will be thrilled to know that this year I have recovered the lost stash of Easter Goodies. Last year I was bemoaning the fact that I had a bunch of my vintage Easter things that were lost somewhere in the Twilight Zone. You know, that place that various and sundry items go to that is unbeknownst to your conscious mind. Yep, that happens to me every once in awhile, and when it does it triggers all kinds of thoughts about the state of mental health concerning moi.

I prefer to regard it as just a busy person

 with a lot of "stuff" and not enough organizational skills.

Anyhoo, a couple of my old chalkware bunnies have found their way out of that parallel universe and back into the Holiday Cupboard.

I love old seed catalogs and Garden books

and just received a new purchase that I'll show you soon.

See the green garden box here on the bottom shelf?

Next week I'm going to share an idea I have for making them...

It won't be rocket science, but it will be be fun...

and on the cheap.
