I think I'll go outside for awhile

Well, it's not morning, it's night. But, don't you miss the beautiful mornings? The warm mornings. The Pickin'?
I've been craving it. I ventured out this morning in the cold to two awesome places, and as always, spent way too much.
I miss my garage, my gym shorts, my tee shirts, and the little bit of a tan this red head gets. My garage is a mess. I've been hoarding stockpiling all winter. It's gotten to the point that I just throw stuff right into the garage, instead of organizing it, because it's too cold. Oh spring, oh summer, when will you be here?!
What is it that you miss most about the warm weather?
a field of cars and people
rows of concrete, paint, and steel

Tonight I worked on taking pictures for my farm table reveal. Not a photography expert here, and the fact that I only have windows on one side of my apart, and that side is NOT the dining room, plus the fact that it's dark when I get home, does not make for good picture taking.
But, before they die, I wanted to share with you my pretty pretty flowers. They make me happy! The rusty, warped, absolutely perfect milk carrier is from an antique store in Wilmington, NC - bought just for this!
What is it in your house that makes you happy - the item you just love to look at?
want to be with you night and day.
Yeah, ok - I have no idea why that song popped into my head for this post. Maybe because it has to do with love. Maybe because I'm so in love with my Valentine's wreath. Whichever, it's catchy.
This past week I've been scrambling to finish some projects before my extended family came to see my place for the first time. This is one of 'em - our new Valentine's wreath.
I saw this gorgeous Valentine's boxwood wreath on Pinterest, but I couldn't find any boxwood stems at Micheal's and the boxwood wreath available at Target was 40 freakin' dollars - and I'm cheap, so I opted for trusty burlap!
I thought of this wreath idea while walking through Micheal's, grabbed the supplies, and rushed home to make it!
I painted the C in a flat white paint for CraneFarms, stained a few wooden hearts in Kona, poked a Queen Anne's lace (fake) flower into the burlap, tied a red gingham bow, and topped it off with a cute burlap flower pin I found at Micheal's. I really don't want to take this down!
Have you made a Valentine's wreath this year? I'd love to see!
