MET MONDAY


It is time for Met Monday again hosted by Susan at
Between Naps on the Porch.
Be sure to check out her blog for a list of the participants this week. I'm sure you will find lots of great before and after pictures!

This week I want to share just a mini-metamorphosis with you. About a month ago, all of you started to talk about Spring. Well, I'm a died-in-the-wool winter person - I love my winter and here in Colorado we haven't had near enough snow this year to suit me. But, I thought at the time that I should get with it; so I cleared my little cupboard of its winter (Father Time) decor.

Oh, but it was just too soon for Spring. I couldn't make myself get into it, so I just closed the door!

Bob tells me that he is going to plant the peas and lettuce in the garden next week. And, this weekend we changed our clocks to adjust to daylight savings time. I'm still being dragged into Spring kicking and screaming. I just don't look forward to dealing with summer clothes, bug bites, heat stroke, wind, hot weather, possible floods and/or wildfires, and tornadoes.

But, I'm making an effort! Here is my mini-metamorphosis attempt at welcoming Spring. I got out some of my antique and vintage Easter items.

A paper-mache bunny and a tiny sand pail.

A Victorian glass egg, some lambs, and a vintage Easter card.

A small covered milk glass candy container from my childhood and an antique Easter postcard.

A tiny metal Easter basket and antique cards.

An old Easter card and two glass candy containers that belonged to my Grandmother.

Now, Mother Nature, can we please have a couple of good snowstorms this month.

Thanks for stopping by,
Sally
