How is your end of the winter going? 
Ours seems to be back in full force right now with multiple storms this past week. 
I’m not going to let it beat me though and am already looking towards a vibrant spring.
I’ve got a few fun projects going here for the blog and a garden plan that I need to get off of Pinterest and onto a manageable plan.
Tune in on Saturday for an announcement of the next fun party that I’m going to be sharing with all of you.
Last week’s party was amazing, as always, with more than a few standouts.
Here are a few that really pin’inspired me
Gallery Wall by Simply Living
I tend to get massive migraines with the change of seasons and giving-up coffee has not helped.  Maybe this will though…
Natural Headache Remedy with Homespun with Love
I’m now starting to seriously get into garden mode so this really caught my eye. 

Raised beds on a budget by An Original Belle
Hope you all grab a button and check yourselves out on my Pinterest board devoted just to features from this party.
Don’t forget to drop by on Saturday as well as keep your eye open for another great giveaway and more photography classes (it’s not too late to join up with the current one).
A couple of party niceties:
1)  Let’s focus on projects created by you as well as photography and leave off giveaways and etsy shops.
2)  Visit as many of your fellow partiers as possible
3)  Be a follower of Artsy Girl and myself
4)  Be inspired to do something great this week.

I love hearing from you. Leave a comment-make my day.

And the winner is….

After bidding adieu to winter last week we’re right back in the thick of things again.  20 cm. of snow in the last few days and 15 more coming in the next 24 hours.  I’m wearing layers and layers this week which started with this planning.
We’ve had a big trauma in our family this week but the only way that I know to cope is to keep things as normal as possible.  So that’s what I’m doing.



Accommodating babysitter: RL booties, Mexx skirt, BR silk top (years ago) and JoeFresh grey sweater




More layers: CK wide jeans, Joe Fresh sleeveless top, town boots and cashmere cardi



Other than the stripes (which I can’t get enough of) the reason why I bought this top was for the neat pleating detail.
What outfits did you come up this week?
I love hearing from you. Leave a comment-make my day.

Monday Night Redo #5: Kitchen Pantry ‘fun’

Ok, again this doesn’t look terrifying. 
Too many cookbooks but well…you can’t be surprised. 
I like the paint job that I did on my cabinets but that was several years ago and this summer I’m going to be going for a Modern English country sort of look.
See my “Summer Projects” Pinboard in case your curious.
Oh!  Here’s the problem.
It’s so bad that my camera actually shook (kidding).

So I emptied the whole thing out and went around the house looking for a variety of tins and baskets.
I figured if I grouped all my spices, oils, vinegars etc. into categories:  baking, savoury, asian, italian… (ones that likely only make sense to me but since I’m the only cook I guess that’s ok).

Here’s a close-up.
See the wall paper behind?
Well, that’s what the entire kitchen looked like when we moved in. 
I know.
You’re jealous.
Not.

I used some shelf doublers to make more space.

Ahh…much better. 
Inside and out.
Now back to Pinterest and more planning.

I love hearing from you. Leave a comment-make my day.
