Be Inspired #140 I Love "Junk"!

Welcome to this week's
 Be Inspired!

Oh yeah, there are a lot of us that love our junk...
And today I want to share a post with you that grabbed me in so many ways.
Silver, Sunroom, lambs, chippy tables...
and yes, my favorite number 3.
I think Susan does "junk" right!

Susan from Must Love Junk
brings it all together in her newly freshened for Spring, Sunroom.

 I want to move in, Susan...
hope you don't mind.

Frenchy Pillows

I know that I just showed you the updated (that would be "this week") sunporch, but I found some wonderful new pillows that I wanted to show you, and it just so happened they landed on the little wicker settee out there.

I have a small obsession with birdies this time of year, and when I saw this embroidered birdie pillow at one of my favorite places I had to have it...and one to go with it.

And can you see that they're burlap?

This was one of my "ohmygosh, how stinkin' cute" moments.

You know it's cute, when it's "stinkin' cute".

Taken from illustrations from the Natural History archives, 

birds and butterflies...

perfect...

and on burlap!

When I first saw these I thought they had been screen printed on,

but it's actually embroidery...

amazing.

As I predicted last week, we're heading right in to summer.

 Today is supposed to be in the upper 80's.

 Soaking up the sunshine...

and

Bird watching...

And here are a few pics from Robin's Vintage Suitcase

where I nabbed these cuties.

Santos dolls.

cow candleholders...

and Staffordshire Rabbits

Robin always has wonderful inspiration.

Hi Everyone,
