I had a nice morning today! My daughter, Shari called and asked if I wanted to go to the craft fair at our church with her.... I guess I was in the mood because I sure bought a lot of things didn't I? Sometimes I go and can't find a thing but today I was in the mood for buying.... I was looking for a bird house and found 2 and thought something to brighten up the front porch would be nice and found 2 .... well it was just too much for the front porch but the little spray I got works just perfect for the fireplace brick I think... then we went to a craft store where I found the little plaque the says " Dance as if no one was watching" well I had to have it.... and the little bird house that is sitting there too. It will soon be put out into the yard though as soon as we get the posts finished. Maybe we will have a rainy day soon and Leo will do the posts. I also got a braided rug for the bathroom. The one I have says on it you can only spot clean so I figured soon I would be needing a new one and the braided one was so nice. I have been having trouble with rugs lately. I went to shake one out and the binding came off and now the one in there can't be put into the washing machine. I noticed after I bought it.. I had a braided rug in storage and put it on the floor in the other bathroom and it was the perfect color and size for in there and it still looks new and I know I washed it many many times so I will be going with the braided rugs for awhile.... they make them in so many pretty colors too. the man said he would take $5 off and I didn't even ask him.... Anyway I have been having a very nice day. Spring must have finally sprung for me, ya think?
I'm reading a good book now too so I guess I will go and watch the race and do a little reading too. the name of the book is "The Mermaid Chair" by Sue Monk Kidd.... the author of " The Secret Life of Bees" in case you read that one.... So far its keeping my interest.
Hope you are having a fun April fools day too.... daylight savings starts tonight..... but now days I can catch up on the hours lost sleep anytime I guess. The window in my bedroom is always open and the birds have been waking me up earlier lately anyway... :)

Did nt you buy some nice things today ,I love to go to craft fairs ,to see what other people make if nothing else,can often pick up some good ideas ......Jan xx
I like all you bought today. The wreath on the door is lovely. Helen
You found some pretty things for spring and found great places for all of them. I saw the sign for the craft fair a while ago and thought that would be a nice one to go to, but then I forgot all about it, darn! There's always next year I guess.
P.S. I used the wreath for my computer desktop, now I can enjoy it too :)
Hi there. Isn't it fun watching spring come to life? I have been looking at all your pics of the flowers in the last few entries. So pretty.
Hope you are doing ok. I've added you to bloglines so I can visit more often. I'm in school online and working FT so I don't get a lot of commenting in, but I like to try.
You take care.

Hi Sandra you were in the mood for spending but where is your April purse was waiting for that. Never bought anything while I was away as the weather was so glum other than a book because I forgot to take one with me. Loved all things you bought the wreath on the door looks super. Love Joan.
I also had a very busy week-end. I love your wreath. I made an egg and wreath for the door that I found out when I took out my Easter things. What a pleasant surprise because I took all my snowman things down. I also went to the Craft Fair. I found the cutest beaded necklace for $2. There was a note on it that said the ladies' granddaughter had made it. I also read the Monk's Chair for my book club about a year ago. I have the Secret lives of bees but haven't read it yet. Then I went to Younkers and bought a sweater I found on sale. But today decided it didn't look that good so I think I will talke it back. Today I went to the ashwaubenon quilt show but didn't stay real long. The rest of the day today I am going to try to relax as I had a baby shower and a lock-in for stitching yesterday also. A lot to do in one week-end.
Hi Sandra, I`m glad you had a good time at the craft fair. I love the little bird house, it`s similar to the one we have. I`m hoping this year that a nesting pair will take up residence there. :o)

I'm just now trying to catch up with my journal friends. I love craft shows and stores. Glad you have that Spring feeling ... hopefully it will be here too soon! "On Ya' - ma
How neat that Shari and you went to the craft show. I thought you might be going; wish I could have joined you. That might have been deadly, because I would have bought alot too. The wreath is stunning, and that birdhouse to match your house is darling. As for the dancing, I'm afraid that's how I always danced. That's a good idea to use a braided rug in the bathroom. I just changed to purple accents in my bathroom and got two new bathmats; otherwise, I might try that too. Angel
