spring is slowly creeping in

i have finally started to decorate for spring.

my inspiration is...well, nature.

i am using things that my daughter and i collected on our 'nature hikes'-as she calls them.

things like

bark,

mica,

bird eggs,

bird nests,

rocks,

and dried pods.

i also used this altered canvas that i created last fall.

while it is not spring themed i thought the colors went well.

just more white and creme that i can add!

here is a close up of the bird eggs that we find all spring and summer long.

the nest is really deep so i can really fill it up with all sorts of eggs.

i know the robin eggs, but i am not sure what the other eggs are.

here is a little apothecary jar i planted some baby tears in.

i wish my camera was a better one, i have moss growing in the jar too.

looks like miniature ferns.

but, alas, my camera doesn't do good on close ups.

may have to talk my hubby into getting me a better camera!

hope everyone is having a beautiful day.
