The spring weather is starting to happen...so yeah for that! Last Saturday Jen and Lauren came over to help us get started on putting up the walls. I chose the bead board look, and liked this simple pieces. James looked at them and said "you know this is the stuff cardboard is made out of...right?". And I responded "oh. cool! I feel like I'm recycling!" He sighed. He doesn't enjoy working with cheap materials, but, hey I liked this look and it seemed like it would be simple to put up! We got a wall and a half done and then this evening James and I got another wall done.

In other news, I went to the
Salvation Army today and picked up this little spice rack for $1.99. I'll use it to hold glitter, of course

I also found this little metal cart at Salvation Army today. It is vintage, and set me back $25.00. It even has a little extension cord plug on it so I can power something up on it. I am in love with this cart. James thinks I paid too much.
 |
| so cool! |
It was such a lovely evening that I had to let the girls out to hunt for bugs and worms. They are back to laying and the more bugs and grass they eat the more awesome the eggs. Truly.

| guess what? chicken butt!! |

I have a lot of gratitude that this is the view from our front yard. The view here is just stunning and is worth the 30 minute drive to good coffee.
