Sacred Yarn Room Spring

I look out the window and think "oh at last!"
the spring days are coming, and winter has past~~~


Join me for a
little celebration of
SPRING
here in the
Sacred Yarn Room ~


this beautiful Spring doll
made by dearest
she traveled so very far
just to join in this
"Welcome to Spring"
celebration

she has the most beautiful face
and I love
that she holds
a little
nest!

a "found" nest and eggs
a beautiful friendship card from Dorthe
a little vintage inspired
wooden
bird


two more nests from nature
and some yarns
the color
of fresh green
leaves


a bird house crafted
from a vintage
Christmas
book

a vintage Enid Collins purse~
this one is called
"Flower Garden"


a beautiful
treasure box
don't you love the vintage
bird decor?


my roses
made from
vintage patterns
~~~
remember ~
I bought the patterns at the flea market?
the roses were crafted
from the pattern
tissues

Don't you love
the vintage look of these
roses?

a closer look at this little bird house
~~~
I love
that it is made
from a
vintage book!

a treasured porcelain box
that once belonged
to my
grandmother

a precious bird collage
made by Tami
and some
beaded yarns
in the colors
of
Spring

another view
of the
birdhouse

and the lovely
collage


my "turtle bowl"
filled with
yarns
~~~
(does any body know why they are called turtle bowls?)

a piece of vintage Hall pottery
that belonged to my Mother
~~~
(found this in Mom's potting shed after she had passed away -
caked with dirt, this had once been a "pot" for flowers
took me forever to clean this up and make it usable again~~~)
priceless

a vintage inspired pitcher
(love the bird pattern!)
bought at my favorite store
Hobby Lobby!

a sweet little porcelain bird
sitting on a
"nest"
of my "Wild Stuff"
Prism yarns

a beautiful sketch by Michelle
and a new little
pottery bird house
that I purchased
on a recent trip
to
Black Mountain.
However you celebrate the arrival of Spring,
I wish you the happiest of days~~~
Vicki

How nice to have a Sacred Yarn Room! Decorated so pretty, I love the little bird box that was your Mothers'. The turtle bowl was what you kept your pet turtle in also had a big rock in it for the turtle to sun himself on. That is as much sun as he could get with bowl sitting on a bookshelf far from the window. They also are great to hold mail and coupons.

When such beautiful treasures surround you, you can't help but feel happy, I'm sure. I am not certain how much creating I would get done though, I would probably spend far too much time just gazing at the beautiful objects and dreaming.

Lady Farmer said...

What an inspiring room for bringing out ones creativity! You have so many lovely treasures ~ gifts from friends and nature. You must enjoy spending many happy hours creating there!
Blessings!

Jules said...

Jody Hammer said...

I missed having spring weather this year. It was cold, now it is hot. Usually we have Autumn/Spring all during the winter, but not this year. I love how you have decorated the sacred yarn room. It looks so pretty and happy!!! I wish I could come and just sit with you there!!!

Lili said...

Oh how I would feel right at home in your Sacred Yarn Room, Vicki. I love birds and I love yarn. Oh my word, it's heaven. And those roses made from the vintage patterns! To die for. You are incredibly gifted and have the prettiest surroundings ever. And I'm so glad you have items from your Mother and Grandmother in there too, that makes it extra special. ~Lili

Huhu my dear Vicki,
.... mmmph here it is still raining too, since 7 days. But now they tell the next weekend to be very warm with lots of sunshine - lets wait and see lol.
I think in this life our black devil cat is not quite happy with his incarnation - he prefers felling human (including eating my food, sleeping in my bed - if possibly no one is taking care, if he now would start drinking latte uuuuooooooh - I wish you a wonderful week and keep on saying "Im singing in the rain..." Hugs Myriam

Silke Powers said...

Oh, my, how beautiful all your treasures are!! Although it's strange for me to think about spring anymore when we are having temperatures near 90 in the afternoons. Sure feels like summer is here! Love all your vintage things. And that yarn.... swoon! Hugs, Silke
