D IS FOR DISHES AND DAISY'S!
Last Friday, I went to a church yard sale! I found a box of vintage-retro plates in a box for $4.75. My friend Holly, originally told me about this idea a couple of years ago...she thought I'd love it- and I do! I was reminded again, when I visited the Shabby Chic May Fair... where I noticed the idea of using vintage plates as a flower bed border. Some of the plates are from the 50's... the "vacation collector's plate!" You know the kind... tacky. From Arizona, New York and Washington D.C. But, I adore them! And, they make my little herb garden quite interesting!
Needless to say, I scooped up the plates, came right home and started planning how I would display them! What I think makes this idea clever is that I've only paid a quarter a plate. Oh sure, anyone can do this if you spend the dough...but to actually find interesting plates at just a quarter a pop.... well, now we're on to something!!
Another cheery decorating idea.... a shallow bowlful of daisy heads floating in green food coloring! The fields and sideroads are alive with these wildflowers.... you can decorate so easily with them! I urge you to pick a bouquet and stick them in a tin can! It will perk you up. That is, if you need perking up. smile, wink, nod.

Well I always look at all the goodies you have on yours and I figured what the heck I'll get one! I have a myspace but that gets old and no one really cares what I do everyday!
