Hello, everyone. We are thoroughly enjoying unusual spring weather here. Normally temps go from all right to blast furnace overnight, sometimes as early as February. 2013 is giving us a little reprieve, which is most appreciated.
Most years lately June and July is all about sea shells and a beachy theme. That's why this little clock leaped out at me on a recent thrift shop trip:
The price was right, under $2.00, and with the addition of a AA battery it works. That mauve-ish color, though, wasn't doing it for me. So after sticking a piece of paper over the glass and deploying some harbor spray paint, it is now:
a cool, serene way to count those summer hours. Look for it to show up in a vignette or on a shelf somewhere next month.
It's not always possible to do a major transformation, but small ones have their own satisfactions, too! Have you done any five-minute fixes lately?
Later,
Michele

You're right, these little things do perk up the room and our spirits. I like nothing better than puttering and changing a few things around but I have to admit I get most of my inspiration off blogs.
