It looked like this for a moment, but I couldn’t find the plate that I wanted to put on the plate stand and the little statue wasn’t doing it for me.  So this is how it looks now.

I added a medallion that I made last year and added it to my wreath that is made out of coffee filters.

I used vintage sheet music, scrapbook paper and an image from the Graphic's Fairy!

My roses, the flowers that  my daughter Miss A received after a singing competition, thrifted vintage milk glass, a vintage picture from my living room previously from a garage sale, the window I found on the side of the road and a thrifted egg.

To the right of that is my bird cage from the salvation army and the sweet little angel my son made for me at Christmas time, I can not pack it away it is much to sweet!  A couple of vintage clocks from my collection a bird I got from my kid’s school rummage sale (I think that it may be a Christmas ornament), I made the book bird house and the flowers were from the Salvation Army they are actually a bride’s bouquet (the kind that they toss!).

This vintage paper mache rabbit was actually my mom’s when she was a kid.  I love it even though Miss T who is five says “it gives me the creeps!” and  “Keep your creepy rabbit with the red eyes away from me!!!

Lastly I hung the vintage Italian tole sconce that my husband and I picked up a couple of weeks ago at an auction.  It was all of $5 and is so fitting for spring!

  4. I love your creepy bunny! I can see where a kid might think it's a little scary though. I like your coffee filter wreath. I tried to make one and it turned out so bad I never finished it. Maybe I need to try it again!

  7. Michelle- Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a sweet comment. I am loving the coffee filter wreath and the entry way looks beautiful. My momma has those same paper mache bunnies and a few santas just like yours and it is such a good memory when I see these.
