bird watching

Before I went into work this afternoon I was out bird watching in my back yard. There has been this one blue jay in our yard this year and I wanted to take some pictures of the little guy. 

This was the only clear shot I got of him.  I'll have to try again tomorrow.

But the other pictures turned out pretty cool.

I love how all the branches of the trees look. It looks kinda like a spiderweb. 

Can you find him???

Even though my camera decided to focus on the branches rather than the robin, I really liked how this one turned out also.

Oh... and I couldn't resist not putting one in here of my girl!!  

Happy Spring to you all!!

new shabby end table

I am so excited! Yesterday I was out with my Mom waiting for Coco to get done with her hair appointment, when we went in a antique co-op. She was telling me that there was a woman that had a booth that was full of white furniture.  

I spotted this cute table. Exactly what I was looking for! It was a steal as well. The booth owner also had some other end tables I am going to keep in mind....

The lamp was from my parents to my hubby and I for our 1 year wedding anniversary... Love Birds.  I loaded up the bottom with Shabby Chic and gardening books. The hanging heart I've had for years, it was hanging in my childhood bedroom. 

I'm still in the process of finishing up the living room, so I will be featuring it soon!

Here's my little fur-ball with her new hair cut. She was sitting pretty while I was moving the room around, but soon I got the camera out she wouldn't sit still... so, sorry about the blurry photos of my Coco :)

our coco

I want to introduce you all to my little princess. Here and there I've talked about her, but she is a big part of my husband and mine life at home, that I thought I would show you more of our puppy.

Coco at 4 weeks.

We got her when she was 2 months old, so little and cute, we knew she was the one for us. I wanted a cute name for our new girl, after thinking and thinking of a name, I came up with Coco after Coco Chanel, the designer.

Almost two years later she keeps us entertained, going after animals on t.v. and just by cuddling with us. But she still has her puppy energy and puppy characteristics by getting into the garbage among other things. She's only 8 pounds but she can jump about 4 1/2 foot high.

She always cracks us up and we love her so much, so I'm sure you'll be seeing more of her!

Coco Sign

I made this little sign to go above Coco's food and water dishes. The spot above looked a little bare, so I thought to make a little something for a spot where she spends some time at.

I used acrylic paint, puffy paint, German glass glitter, crepe paper and wooden letters.

I think she'll like her little sign, hopefully not too much and eat it! :)
