Spring is coming to Leola's!

It's almost time for Spring Open House at Leola's -- March 6, 7, & 8. That will also be our 1-year anniversary. It's hard to believe that it's been a year. Anyway, my creative juices have not been flowing much lately so I'm trying to find something that might inspire me. I ordered these beautiful white scented soaps from Sharon at Sweet Repose & already had this old jar. They would be so great in a bathroom. I hung some of my vintage jewelry around it & it's gorgeous plus it smells wonderful.

This is the old blue box that I showed a couple of weeks ago. I painted it white & filled it with all kinds of treasures. I love the way it turned out.
Mike's sister Susan & brother-in-law Mike (we have lots of Mike's in our family) were here this weekend which was so nice. Not only are they great company but Mike fixes things around the house. He put the hardware on the box. Besides that, they're not only great aunt & uncle to my g'kids but they are GREAT great aunt & uncle to them. The kids feel a big hole in this house with G'pa gone & they help to fill it up when they're here. Also, they're good for their niece Allison. Allison & Susan have always been very close but I think their grief is much the same. I'm just so appreciative of them & their love for our family. We all need each other right now.
Hope everyone has a good week. It's always a good sign when the sun is out of Monday morning.
