Frugal Decor...

Hello everyone.. 

Such a beautiful Spring like day here in Eastern Canada and we didn't even need a sweater...  

I finally put away all the snowmen in our front foyer..I know it is a bit late but we do still have a bit of snow out there..

That is my story and I am sticking to it.. grin..

I have to redecorate the foyer.. It needs a fresh touch without costing much..

As you know I love the country prim type of decor.

So ... with that in mind  I decided to make some pillows but they are not finished ..I thought about bringing up an old bureau but Trevor (our oldest son) had made me the bench .. I decided to keep it there for a bit longer.. 

I will share it all with you later but for today I did a wee lamp. 

It may not be to every one's taste but I kind of like it. 

It is made with a mason jar kit. 

My Dad had given me the large mason jar many long years ago.. I have kept it because he gave it to me.. 

 I thought this would be a neat way to keep it for awhile..

There is a prim border in the foyer and hallway.  As there was a roll left I decided to use it.  

I just fitted it to the jar and glued it on a shade that I had.. 

I think the little blessings written on it are suitable for an entry..

May the happiness of heart and home be one, and may all who enter be enveloped in it's warmth.. 

May love, joy, peace and health be bestowed upon all who pass through our doors.. 

I also did this..

I need to buy some brown ink to make the crow part darker or perhaps I just need to tea dye it, too.. 

And maybe I should take out the glass.. 

What say you?

I will show it later, too.. smile..

I took a pic of my basil plant, too.. 

It is hard to believe that I brought this in from outside last Fall.. 

It has been in blossom for a couple of months.. 

It looks a bit sad but it is still alive and well..grin..

I will be doing this again for sure.. 

So Happy Spring my dears.. 

My all time fave time of year.. 

How about you?  What is your favorite season?

I thank you all for stopping by.. I so enjoy hearing from you, too. 

It makes blogging worthwhile when you know someone is reading.. 

God bless...
