I’ve had the last two weeks off work – I arranged for a replacement before I had my dental work done not knowing how I would be feeling. I have been fine this last week but decided to still take this week off so I could catch up with a few things around the farm house. I was a great idea as I have loved just pottering around, doing some cleaning, a little gardening and changing a few things around. The first place I changed was the top of the TV cabinet ready for spring. I hade been searching for an old white painted window for ages and finally found one the other day. I sanded it a little and generally cleaned it up to use. I am really happy how it turned out. Everything else I gathered up from around the house.
Here’s what it looked like when I started to clean it!!
I found this picture of the hydrangeas I had printed off ages ago and had put it in this distressed frame so I thought it just fitted in perfectly.
I love it when everything is clean …..now to start on the real windows!!

A lovely vignette for spring.
This is lovely!! I look forward to seeing you at My Dream Canvas. Have a great week.
Love the colors you chose for the vignette and the window is a great backdrop.
I love windows! Your plates are pretty too and look lovely propped up in front with the flowers and frame. Wonderful Spring vignette. Thank you for joining me for tea time.
Blessings,
Sandi
Oh, this is lovely. Now I have to put that beautiful window on my tag sale list. :) Come and share if you can. Linda

The old window makes a nice backdrop for your vignette.
Gorgeous, and that old window is perfect. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
Oh, that wonderful old window is utterly fabulous and I love the vignette in front of it!!! I am so glad you are feeling better...and didn't have to use that time feeling under the weather and could instead do some house projects....we're planning a Staycation soon....not only to save money, but because we genuinely have so much to catch up on house-wise!
Love/hugs/blessing & please stop by to see my new blog re-design,

The window is the way to heighten your lovely vignette. The spring hues of blue and white are a special accent with the addition of the hydrangeas. Glad you enjoyed your last week by puttering and decorating! Have a great week!
