Easter's knocking on my door

Spring has always been a very inspiring season of the year to me. I love watching the trees slowly getting exuberant and lush with leaves again, wildflowers blooming in the lawns, fields and at the edge of the roads, the swallows observing us from atop the street cables, with their curious yet graceful looks. Since I was a child, I've seen this season as an epitome of the "miracle of rebirth" - what was absent and dormant is now coming back and awakening in pure harmony again.

However, it seems like Spring has gone for some vacation today. It's so cold, cloudy and (very) windy around here; too cold and cloudy and windy to go for a relaxing walk even. So today I took my day for some pre-Easter house cleaning. And fighting against it, as I am allergic to house dust... I'm so exhausted the only thing I feel like doing right now is snuggling at the warmth of my bedroom.

In the meanwhile, one of my latest orders of supplies has finally arrived... it's brought so many cute little treasures, including some basic findings I was in need of, new ruffled peony cabochons (in several amazing colors), antique brass connectors and leaf filigrees, plus a sweet little birdcage in antique brass... and many others.

A greater look at some of my new supplies, as described above...

And while I get to play with these, don't forget to check on my Etsy store for a few new additions, even if just for the kicks...

These cute, vintage inspired earrings are called "INNOCENCE", blending the warmth of a latte tone with the aged yet freshly looking filigrees with patina. Perfect for the discrete yet sophisticated girl or lady! They are for sale HERE.

I hope I'll be able to enjoy another sunny day soon enough but, until then, there are still many things to do until Easter comes for real. I still have a final custom request for my sister-in-law (will take care of it tomorrow) and intend to help my mother with the rest of the cleaning, plus baking and such. And doing my best to contain myself from eating too many Easter almonds and cheese!

Our Easter almonds bowl here at home... featuring dark chocolate, sugared and lilac coated milk chocolate (my very favorites!) almonds. I wonder how long they will last... ;)

That's it for today; thank you again for stopping by and taking a few minutes of your time to read!

Much love,
