it's official! spring has begun! or at least that is what the calendar tells us! because in our neighborhood as i type this the temp is a big ol' doughnut. and not the yummy kind w/ fun sprinkles!
but what WAS fun was my annual visit to bergen's greenhouse. so happy to take in the fresh air and rows of little plants growing...while we patiently {or impatiently} await the season to arrive outdoors.
i was greeted by some {CHEERFUL} gerbera daisies {below}.
and what appears to be a field of grasses {below} was actually oodles of accent "spikes" with the canopy of hanging ferns growin' away.
there were pops of color forming around...
...in addition to natural neutrals + lush foliage contributing to the freshAIR feelin'.
even spied some cool characters hanging out...like the junkART pig {below}
i was so inspired that when i got home i decided it would be a good time to add some junkART of my own to a special {ONLY*1} jewelry release i will be doing on THURSDAY march 21st into my etsy shoppe!
these ONE*of*a*KIND creations are a patinaWHITE exclusive design. i have thoughtfully gathered old LICENSE plates in a rainbow of hues to make the unique necklaces you see below. and i use a 1930's royal typewriter to create coordinating messages on the reverse of each pendant. if you look close {below} you will see the background on BOTH sides is that of VINTAGE road maps!
and like the succulents i spied at bergen's....
...all the pieces featured on this special release are UNIQUE. what i'd like to consider artful little "works of whimsy" that i created w/ my own two hands.
if you click the collage below...you will be whisked to my {itsyBITSYetsy} shoppe. currently empty...i will be stocking it up w/ O.O.A.K {one of a kind} pieces w/ the likes of those shown. they will be available at the times broke down by zone {below}.
so...i best SPRING into action pulling it all together to make this RELEASE a reality. hope you have some SPRING in your step & perhaps we will see you on the etsy side of things THURSDAY evening! always appreciate your visits to my corner of the world here + kind comments you share!
happy*SPRING!
One of my favorite places, Beth!!
