It started out as a beautiful day. I was filled with anticipation and excited to be going antique shopping and to Hobby Lobby.
My goal was to find something to create a similar display for this.
Until I started pricing the cotton plant stems. Anywhere from $6.99 - $9.99 each. Not going to happen. I will regroup on that idea. Maybe go with some forsythia. That would add a pop of spring color.
I am also still keeping my three tier stand for each holiday. The above idea is for my dining room table. My three tier is on a side table and I would like to do something like this with it for Easter.
So off I went look for things for both displays. I got side tracked in the first antique store when they had a big table of books at awesome prices. Was thrilled to find one on depression glass dirt cheap at $5. At McKays and other used book stores I see them for $15 and up. But that was the only thing I found at that one that interested me.
At the next one, I found two vintage hankies for $1 each. I want some with color as well but these were so feminine.
They are going in my Fenton Hobnail Flower Basket in my bedroom.
At the third one, I didn't find a thing so I gave up on antique stores. I stopped by Karm thrift store. They always have holiday decorations. Not today. I found nothing for Easter that I was wanting. But I did pick up a little mug just the right size for my chocolate milk.
I headed to Hobby Lobby with a side trip through Krispy Kreme. Hobby Lobby had TOO much Easter stuff. I got so overwhelmed on exactly what I wanted that I just decided it wasn't a good day for me to be there so I left with nothing. This is what happens when I go without a list! I went home and later went to my friend's house to get my order from her of my new Paparazzi jewelry. I got a necklace this time. I love that everything is $5.00 from them.
Then I stopped by the cemetery to visit with hubby. Oh what a beautiful sky. I started my day with a beautiful sky and ended it the same way.
