Everything was purchased at either the dollar store or thrift stores. Hopefully it looks classier than that :). And sorry about the lighting--even in broad daylight, the living room in the home we are renting is the worst lit room ev-ah.
Dollar store lamb, $1 thrift store brass framed mirror, dollar store frame painted blue (a'la Melissa from 320 Sycamore) with quote I printed myself.
Dollar store moss, eggs bought from an online florist shop for cheap (like $1.50 for 12 kind of cheap) in a shabby $2 thrift store urn.
More eggs and moss in a $1 glass hurricane from the Dollar store.
Close up of the apothecary jar (not from a thrift store or dollar store, but it was a present, so it was free!). The nest and the blue fragment of egg in the front are real. A few years ago, a cheeky bird used all the lemon thyme from my herb garden to build a nest. One day, the happy little bush was there, and a few days later, every strand was gone. I didn't know what happened until a windy summer day brought this nest down with the sweetest little fragment of a robin's egg inside. There is nothing like that color.
So there you go. It may not win any design awards, but it makes me smile, and that's what matters :).

Yay for cheap!! Erin it looks great... soothing colors. I was just writing a post about spring decor... it seems everything I have is old and tired. Maybe I need to hit up the dolla' store!
ReplyDeleteI love those eggs - and endearing that you have that little nest with the egg :)
