A balmy week for the end of March in Minnesota is always a good week! The familiar touch of sunshine, warm air and humidity not felt since sometime early last fall was a very welcome stranger, I hope it settles in for long stay! I am getting the itch to get out and clean up the gardens as the green is begining to play peek-a-boo beneath winters carnage. I long to see lush growth and blooming flowers! Rain is in the weekend forcast so I am hoping for thunder storms. We could use a good dust off and  I love the smell and sound of a good spring rain.

Some spring themed picks from my doll collection below, as well as a few new spring inspired pieces above - Have a great weekend and a wonderful Easter!

Stop and breathe...................................

Whew! March has been busy, busy - I am not complaining, just a fact :) That's a good thing as the winter blahs were really beginning to get me down. It's good to see the ground again, even if it isn't green yet. The jumping jacks are already blooming out by the mailbox; a sure sign of spring - they sure are hardy little suckers!

I hunted and gathered many new inspirations at the recent bead show, which was also my best show to date - it gets better every time - yay! Just wrapped up a small trunk show at the bead store is Osseo and I have been working on a few new venues - one for this fall and one for next spring. Stay tuned - exciting news to be posted soon!!

I have recently added some lovely old dolls to my ever growing collection and decided it's about time to start sharing some photo's of these beautiful finds - I have as many as possible crammed into my studio - I find them very comforting and inspiring. I will start sharing some photo's later this week - starting with my latest treasure!

Many new items have recently been added in my findings shop - do stop by and take a peek. I think you will plesantly suprised!
