We went to First Monday in Canton. I found an old wood painter's ladder and painted it white. I had some linen pillow cases that my grandmother made to hang on the ladder. I need to get a close up picture of the details they are really beautiful.

Just sharing flowers blooming at Our Cottage Nest.


I am so happy my roses are blooming. All pink and pretty.









This is a pretty window box Steve built. I bought the old iron piece at a garage sale for $5.00 and really did not know what to do with it. I just love what it adds to the window box.

This cute dog was just posing with her Easter Basket. She was enjoying all the attention.
Don't you wish you had this beautiful pink dogwood in your front yard?












This is a beautiful yard in the azalea district in Tyler. They had so many beautiful flowers. This couple just open their yard up to anyone who wants to walk through it.

I have been doing a little decorating for Easter before leaving for Houston for the
week-end. I am excited to go and spend some time with kids, shopping, eating out
and celebrating our daughter's 29th birthday. Hope you all have a wonderful
week-end.

My sweet husband brought me these wonderful smelling Hyacinth







I love my chocolate bunnies

The weather is just beautiful in East Texas, spring is all around us. I have been busy planting flowers this week at Our Cottage Nest. I love working in the garden and yard. I am on Spring Break this week and have loved every minute of it. I am heading to Tyler today to go junking and see if the azaleas are blooming. I hope you enjoy your day.
