The Gifts {Updates}

 

J & I are home from a great trip to Point Clear, Fairhope, and Ocean Springs. I have enjoyed a great birthday week.

I could not wait to get home to hang up my newest Jean McKee painting. I hung it in the stairway under the two alligator oils that I received for Christmas.

I love the look of the trio.

The dough bowl was placed on the dining room table. I quickly filled it with reindeer moss, preserved boxwood spheres, and English ivy. I feel the arrangement signals that Spring is near.

I cannot believe that my vacation is over, and I am getting ready for school. I wish it were last week.

The Gifts, y’all!

    I'm so glad you had a great birthday week. I did, too. I love what you did in the dough bowl--it is perfect for Spring and also St. Patrick's Day. You newest oil pairs great with the alligator oils. Have a great day! xoxo

    I love Jean McKee's artwork. She should be in the upcoming Arts and Crafts Festival this coming weekend. Where did you find your painting?

    Love the new painting! Perfect addition to the other two. And, the dough bowl. I have mine on our mantle filled with faux boxwood balls and succulents and love it. The perfect touch of spring.

    Wonderful gifts! The greenery in the dough bowl definitely signals spring. :)

    I'm still exhausted from helping with this move. Tomorrow is designated as a "day of rest".

    Excellent placement of the new picture! You caught the most perfect lighting to showcase it- love that picture of the stairwell. The new dough bowl fits in perfectly and the greens look wonderful in it- again you caught perfect lighting!

    The painting is fab! If I may make a suggestion...try hanging your new one at the top. It would balance the weight and appear that the gators are under the palm. :) I really enjoy your blog and home. Thank you for all the fun laugh and "y'all's"!
