A Little of This and That

In my guest room I have LOTS of white pillows on the day bed...this morning Mika decided to separate them and make a little bed right in the middle of the bed and pillows....when I walked into the room she just looked at me so proud that she made a little nest for herself ....my little Mika started my day off with a smile.....
********************************************
Below is a little bike planter I bought last year.....

I just did a re-do for Spring......

painted the planter pink and white and put it next to my little Spring girl.....

and planted some pink Impatiences...
Impatiences bloom all summer long and into the fall...
they are one of my favorite plants for Spring....

I also found a new pillow for my bench....Home Goods.....
I love to change things around.....

and found this silver platter for $8 at a tag sale.....
I like it on the bench.....
I am so happy that Spring is here !!!!!

Hi Mo,
Your little Mika makes me want to get another dog and a Maltese at that.
I like what you did with your planter. You certainly have been a creative little thing lately and everything is just beautiful.

I loooove what you did with the bike planter, Mo. It looks like it was always meant to be pink and white! And that little Mika, she is a crafty little one, fussing up your pillows like that. ;o)

Hi Mo...If that baby girl of yours isn't adorable...well nothing is! Who could resist that precious furdoll...I see spring is going to be a special time of year at your beautiful cottage & I'm looking forward to seeing how you decorate in & outdoors... ;- Bo

What a precious pup Mika is. I would be smiling too, if I had seen her in your pillows.
I love the bike planter. My daughter has one on her front porch similiar to yours, but I like that you painted yours pink. It goes so good with everything. I am thinking you must not have much wind where you live. Everything I have around my yard gets blown over with the wind.

Oh my goodness doesn't that bike planter look pretty! I also love impatiens and have them every summer. Mika looks so sweet in her pillow nest. Your bench looks pretty. I love your pictures of how you change things. Can you come decorate my home? Have a wonderful time on your trip. You will be missed.

Your little Mika reminds me of my Caesar, resting amoung the pillows. They believe that's just where little princesses and potentates belong. :)
