Remember that petite colander I picked up at TJ Maxx last week? I turned it into a pretty spring nest: Just added some faux "grass," a petite Dollar Store nest and some scented robin's egg soaps. Yup, I'm ready for spring! And how cute are these Easter cupcake toppers from Target?! Only $1 per pack. Too adorable (and cheap!) to pass up! Happy President's Day everyone! Jeanine ...
Quick Cloche Change-Up
February 17, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
This little cloche cost me a couple of dollars at a garage sale over the summer. I've dressed it up for Xmas and Valentine's Day and over the weekend, I gave it a simple spring touch. Yup, I just added a roll of twine. Then I made the butterfly tag with some French script and cardstock, and added it to a metal picture holder. It fits perfectly in the middle of the twine. Super duper quick...
Bunny Peat Pots
February 15, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Saw this on Pinterest and thought it was the sweetest idea ever! Bunny peat pots for Easter. First I painted my peat pots white. One coat usually does the trick because you want a shabby look. While they were drying I printed off my bunnies onto tissue paper. One is from Etsy and the other is from The Graphics Fairy. Next you kind of rip the tissue paper to get as close to the image...
Spring Banner

So I have a new strategy to outwit Mother Nature. I figure the more items I make for spring, maybe she'll get the hint. Nevermind that they are calling for more snow here tonight (boo!). I'm determined to enjoy an early spring - even if just in our house. You've probably noticed how much I love this Carnival font (from DaFont.com). I used it for my Valentine's Day LOVE banner. This time, I chose a...
TJ Maxx Goodies

I treated myself with a trip to TJ Maxx yesterday. The roads were still messy but what better way to soothe cabin fever than with a little retail therapy?! How cute is this petite colander? I'm planning on adding a spring nest to it. I couldn't resist the pink straws and striped cupcake holders. And how adorable are these mugs? The cakes remind me of Marie Antoinette and they will look stunning on my Decor...
Bunny Frames

Don't you just love bunnies?! I have a few around the house year-round - not just for Easter. I printed out a few bunny images onto vintage sheet music and added them to some petite white Ikea frames that I hang in the bathroom. In the summer, I have beachy/ocean creatures in the frames. For Xmas, I do Santa. Since I'm so antsy for spring and to decorate for Easter, I just couldn't resist. Two of...
