| Spring Stamp and STAMP 4-The Hatchlings |
What a wonderful time I had sharing my sweet bluebird on its grand adventure in the gardens. We saw flowers, bees, butterflies and even a birdbath. I can not thank you enough for following along.
I finished my Spring Stamp Collection in an 8" x 10" thrifted frame. It was originally painted gold, but I dry brushed white paint on it to lighten it up. I added 1 layer of batting behind my stitching.
I also made 10 pin pillows to fill my dough bowl.
I bought this wooden bowl at the Dollar General for $6.00 last year. I used it for my Autumn Stamps.
It is made up of a very light weight wood. I would love to purchase another one and paint it white for spring and summer stamps. Don't you think that would look cute?

After completing the SAL, I decided to redecorate my buffet in the garden theme with sweet birdies as an accent.
I even included a fluffle of bunnies in the garden buffet display.
Shown here are Stamp 1 Spring Watering Can ,A Basket of Spring, 1869 Bunny Hop Bunny & Tulip Trifle, Bunny Trifle, as well " Emily's Strawberry" from Blackbird Designs from the book In Friendship's Way
And I could not leave out a house and mason jar stitch.

Aah thank you so much, Diana. I enjoyed sharing each and every stamp. We have about 5 Dollar Generals in a 10 mile radius. When I go visit , I usually hit several stores at one time. They each have different things. I do enjoy shopping there . Though Dollar Tree is one of my favorites as well. I hope you find some finishing treasures when you visit. Hugs.

You are always so kind, Monique. Thank you so much for following along on my Spring SAL. Have a blessed week.
DeleteWhat a lucky find with that frame - such a pretty finish too. Thank you for your spring sal. And I love that mason jar stitch! Blessings
ReplyDeleteI always keep my eyes peeled for great frames when I go to the thrift stores. Fortunately ours usually has a good selection to choose from. Thank you , Donna for the sweet encouragement during the SAL that means so much. Hugs.
DeleteThank you again for sharing such a beautiful Spring stitch. Spring sunshine is busting out all over your buffet and such a pretty sight! I visited Dollar Gen while visiting my kids in ND and agree. So many great things to find. Traveling by rail or air can limit a person's luggage, tho, so no treasures came home with me.
ReplyDeleteAah you are so welcome, Ginny and thank you . I enjoyed every stitch and especially sharing them. Oh bummer- no treasures came home with you. Well I hope you will be able to go to a Dollar General nearby soon. Usually when you have no room for treasures is when you see a great find. Lol. Have a great week, dear Ginny
DeleteIs it possible to get last autumn’s stamp collection patterns? I just love them.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Pat . It is still available on my blog. I will place a link at the end of this post for it. I hope you enjoy it and thank you. Happy stitching.
DeleteI love the way you've used so many cute bird houses to decorate your home. I need some decorative bird houses. When I grow up I want to be you!!!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Darlene. I have not had the birdhouses out in years. I was looking at them and I think most date back to the 90's. It was fun for me to go down memory lane as I looked at them. Lol. Hugs.
Delete"fluffle of bunnies" I love it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that cute? I just learned that was what a group of bunnies is called. I learn something new every day. Lol. Hugs.
DeleteYour Spring Stamp sampler turned out beautifully, Melisa! I always enjoy your hutch tours! You are so talented!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Brenda. This was a joy for me to work on and to share. Finishing it motivated me to pull out some old birdhouses to enjoy. The haven't seen the light of day in years. Lol
DeleteI loved doing this design! Such beautiful patterns!!! Any chance to see the final reveal on the Spring Stamp set soon? I'm chomping at the bit to finish it out, didn't know what you had in store for that page. Keep up the beautiful work, i had so much fun with this one!
