Spring Lollipop Centerpiece {Update}

I can't wait to show you my updated centerpiece.  I am stoked with how it turned out.

Remember my Cute Centerpiece I made for Valentine's Day?  I loved my cute lil' coca cola bottles so much that I couldn't part with them yet.

So I made an updated springy version so I could keep them around a little longer.

And here it is in all of it's spring glory.  {This one is a St. Patrick's/Spring combo}

I changed the red straws to turquoise, added some fun lollipops, and used turquoise and green baker's twine to tie some hearts and shamrocks to the middle of the bottles (I cut out the hearts with my silhouette).

I also used a gorgeous turquoise themed runner to finish it off.

What do you think? {Sorry in advance, I got kinda carried away with the pictures...hehe}

 

This makes me excited for spring, how about you?

{And in case you're wondering, I got my inspiration for this
centerpiece from here}

{Bright Inspiration}

Today is a cloudy, overcast, snowy, {beautiful}, but very GRAY day here in North Dakota.  I don't know about YOU, but when it's gray outside for a long time, I start to feel a little down in the dumps.

So I thought I'd share some very BRIGHT inspiration to help lift everyone's spirits.

Looking at bright things makes me think of spring and I just CAN'T WAIT till spring comes.

Here's some absolutely GORGEOUS {bright} stuff I have been running into lately in bloggy land.

Have any of you seen The Tomcat Studio before?  What a FUN place to hang out.   I could handle having this place right in my backyard.  Seriously.

They do parties...some of the CUTEST ones I've ever seen.  This is an example of what's over there...talk about crazy fun!

 Speaking of which, their photographer is my very favorite photographer I have EVER seen.  You gotta check out Laura Winslow Photography.  She's got the most rockin' pictures ever!!

The famous Tatertots and Jello just came out with the most DARLING spring subway art.  Check this out!

And she also recently had the most adorable sweet sixteen party for her daughter.  I fell in LOVE with the decorations for this party. {I would love to have a little nook like this someday by the way...}

This cake from Party Cupcake Ideas is one of the most spectacular I have seen for awhile.  

Just look at all of those bright colors!!  Love it!

Can't get over how ingenious this dollhouse is {at Nice Girl Notes}.  

And made from dresser drawers!! What little girl wouldn't be elated to play with this?  

I love the creativity.  You can find the tutorial here

And this bright mantel from Landee See, Landee Do is pretty enough to cheer anyone up!  So cute.

A Glimpse Inside made the most beautiful bright frame wreath.  And even though she posted it this past summer, I am thinking this is just awesome for ANY season, right?  I think I'm

gonna be making one of these for MY house soon...

Anything bright in YOUR house right now?  I would LOVE to see it.  

Make sure you let me know and I'll hop right over and check it out!

{I'm making some really bright right now, that I'm 

SUPER excited to share with you, shhh, I'm not quite done with it yet!! }

 

Hope YOUR day is bright and happy!

Thanks for stopping by.

Turquoise Lovin' #26

It's time for Turquoise Lovin' again!!  SO much fun stuff out there this week.

As always, thank you SO much for sharing your beautiful projects at this party each week.  And in case you hadn't noticed a change in the rules, I am allowing and WANTING you to enter your RED projects into the party too.  I figure since my signature colors on this blog are turquoise and red, we may as well enjoy the red stuff too!!

I am having such a hard time accepting that Valentine's Day is gone now.  Boohoo.  It's SO easy to decorate for Valentine's Day since my very favorite colors go SO well with the day.

I love the hearts and the roses and the sweetness that comes with it too. That's why I LOVE this Valentine's Day coffee and donuts decor from Homespun with Love.

Make the Best of Things came up with the cutest cubby shelves I've see for awhile.  I love the shabby look she gave them and the bright colored turquoise is amazing!!

Can't believe this wreath from Shimmer & Tulle is made out of coffee filters!  How creative is THAT?

Love these turquoise lovelies from one of my VERY favorite blogs Swede Dreamer. 

 She did a giveaway here quite some time ago and I still absolutely ADORE her style!  

Ok, it's time to party!!  Time to link up YOUR turquoise love for the week!!
