Greetings from the 

F*R*O*Z*E*N  State of Wisconsin...

The hardest part of WINTER,
 here in the Midwest,
 is the time just after Valentine's Day...

 HONESTLY,
Pictures of Birds... Vintage Garden... Fresh Flowers...
 Green Plants...  JUST ISN'T DOING IT FOR ME!!!
  
The REALITY of Winter, here in the Midwest,
 is that S*P*R*I*N*G is  STILL
a LONG WAY OFF ~ about 6-8 weeks...

Yet Another Time of Stillness

WHILE * WE * WAIT
 COME MID APRIL, Signs of Faith & Hope
 REALLY start appearing...
• "Hints of grass" Poking-Out
 in between the cracks in the sidewalk...
•First Garden Hose Sighting of the Season!!! ~ YES!*!*!
•Daffodils - Tulips Poking through the black dirt...
•Birdies Singing like never before...
A*N*D
•That 1st Sighting of a Sea-Of-White Tents at the Flea!!!

Until then, WE JUST W*A*I*T...

ANOTHER grey, cloudy, damp, dreary

 Winter's Day - in Wisconsin...

Sooooo much FaB InSpiRaTion!*!*!

B*I*R*D*S are SiGNS -OF- SpRinG!*!*!

Even though the month of February is just "flying-by" - SPRING just can't come soon enough for me!!!  Aside from the GoRgeOuS THICK,WHITE, & FLUFFY Snow we woke up to this morning, for the most part, the landscape remains dull... dead... & brown!!!     - Sooooo I decided I needed a little "Pick-Me-Up" - Something just for me ~  that says: **SPriNG's Around The Corner**...

 Nothing Says "Spring's Around the Corner"

** Like BiRdS ** and ** Bright Colors **

I picked up a whole stack of the sweetest - 
"dessert-size" birdie plates!*!*!  ~Soooo glad I did!!! 
The colorful *Flower Dish Towel* added a much needed splash of color
making the vignette POP!*!*!

I just couldn't resist the Platter either!*!*!

Platters are soooo functional!!!

The ChiPPy SHaBBy White Metal Tote is a fun piece to display it in...

**Think Spring**

GoRgeOuS "SHaBBy White-Out of SNOW
in our backyard this morning...

ChiPPy White Wednesday ~ With ViNtaGe Garden!*!*!

It soooooo feels like Spring Today - @ least 50 degrees and Sunny!!!  The Robin's have begun singing Spring's Sweetest Song...  Even though it may be a while before I have my "first sighting" of a Garden Hose, I'll definitely cherish what Mother Nature has given us TODAY!*!*!  This AwEsoMe weather has inspired my "ChiPPy White Wednesday Vignette"

 Small ViNtaGe White Watering Cans are soooo hard to come by...    The Vintage Garden Markers are also a long ago Find ...

 I worked on my Easter Entry Display yesterday ~ and this little vignette added just the right Spring-Time PoP!*!*!

 

 Just Sweet!*!*!
