Tulip DecorationBicycle and tulips purchased separately last year after spring at great discounts.
Betsy Wetsy as a GrandmotherThe Betsy Wetsy doll in the back of the cradle is holding two dolls which belong to my daughter who is 45 years old now. She played with the Holly Hobbie doll and the pink bean bag doll. I received my Betsy Wetsy doll 63 years ago and she'll still wet and her hair is intact.
Fall DecoratingOut of all the seasons of the year, I love Fall the best! It last the longest. I start decorating on September first and it brings me right through until I decorate for Christmas, by just adding a few things for Halloween and Thanksgiving. It is truly a beautiful season to decorate for.
Use A Flower Frog To Display PhotosA flower frog makes a unique picture holder. Can't get much easier than this, folks. Would work well as a recipe holder, too. They come in other shapes and sizes and can be found at garden stores, craft stores, or florist shops.
Decorate Patios with Artificial FlowersI love going out onto the patio and seeing all these flowers I have put up on the patio. Even on overcast days, I have sunshine!
Decorative Colored Water in Wine GlassesThe AS IS store was open yesterday, so I went in to get some mugs. I found cool ones, then came upon an idea that I wanted in the house. So far, it's cost me .25!
Decorate with Themed ApronsI got this cool apron last week. I used to be in the coffee biz, so this just called to me. I thought,"why not put it on the wall" and that led to a cup rack to go with it.
DaffodilsI love gardening, and these daffodils are the first hint that spring is finally here! I spend all summer in my flower gardens taking photos as the blooming progresses.
Personalize Your Bed FrameI have a gray bed. It's nice, but it doesn't go with all my purple and green stuff, and I can't change that. I decided to "pretty it up" some with little things that make it nicer and match more. I put up jewelry, heart shaped sachets, and more.
Use a Throw as a Comforter for Toddler BedRecently my grandson moved into a toddler bed. The mattress is the same fit as the crib, but I needed a blanket that fit the entire bed. I found that the throws that are sold everywhere are a fit perfect. They come in variety of colors and patterns.
Doll Collector's Paradise?My daughter and I are doll collectors. Many times, we have found potentially beautiful dolls at auctions and yard sales. They often just need a little cleaning and redressing to fit in with home decorations.
Using Crystal Every DayI am always looking for ways to use my pretty crystal everyday. For instance, I use a my celery dishes to hold folded dinner napkins in the kitchen and paper hand towels in the bath.
Snoopy Theme BedroomBe creative and don't be afraid to try something new and different.
Grouping Country Knick KnacksI used to have cute country knick knacks here and there in my kitchen when I grouped them all together on one shelf it really "popped" together.
Transforming Your Front PorchA plain front porch can be transformed into a place of serenity and beauty with just a few simple touches. I found an old ladder in a junk pile and leaned it into the corner by my front door. I hung a plastic bag of flowers on it and placed cheap flowers all around the porch to accent the ladder.
