IT'S ALMOST EASTER TIME! ARE YOU READY?
Peter Cottontail is hopping down the bunny trail, getting ready to drop off all his colored eggs, jelly beans, chocolate rabbits, and the like!
Here at OakCreekCrafts, we're getting "new" vintage items into the store, along with this neat garden theme sampler:
You can find this at our shop www.etsy.com/shop/OakCreekCrafts for $25.99, including shipping. Check out some other items we have in stock.
Do you have some old wooden spools around the house and are tired of using them as candle holders? Here's a cute idea! Just tuck a sprig of faux spring or other seasonal florals into one for an instant primitive vase!
What's great about faux florals is you do not ever have to worry about watering them. You can use dried flowers from your garden; these would look lovely as well!
Need another great idea of what to do with old wooden spools? Just bunch them together and tie them with some homespun fabric or raffia for a different shelf landscape!
Of course, you could still add some dried flowers right in the middle of this bunch of spools for a great sewing room decoration! You can see these at our on-line shop as well.
I know that many of you are off from work on Friday. Please be safe having that Good Friday fish fry. And don't forget that Sunday, the 27th, is Easter. Have a blessed and Happy Easter.
There is only one rabbit that is welcome at our house and that's this guy:
He isn't here to eat up our carrots, he's here to PLANT them! Yes, garden planting season isn't too far away.
Those of you who are being hit with the spring snowstorm, you have my deepest sympathy! Here in Wisconsin, any kind of weather can happen, and we sure had an unexpectedly mild winter thus far.
However, I can remember in about 1988, when the lilacs were in bloom. The boats were in the lake; the pier was in the water all ready for the summer season. Guess what?
We got SNOW! There was so much snow that the lilacs were buried in the stuff, and all bent over from the weight of the snow!
On the other hand, I can remember it being 80 degrees in March! In Wisconsin, the weather can change every five minutes. We all dress funny here, because we never know which way the wind will blow. If you are near Lake Michigan and the wind changes, temperatures can drop from 80 degrees down to 60 degrees in a snap!
So.....now you all know why we Cheese-heads look so strange!
Until the next time...bye for now!
