Happy sweet Thursday! & DIY Bird Bath

Hi there! Happy sweet Thursday!
Tuesday and Wednesday I rode a couple hours in the car with my mom and grandma to go visit my cousin and aunt. It was a wonderful little trip, and so nice to see the family, never a dull moment, we had a lot of laughs :)

Here's my 'NEW' bird bath...... 
I made it from a lamp shade upside down and bought a pretty light fixture last time I was at the auction :) 
And just set it right inside! :) 
  
I listed this pretty afghan blanket in my Etsy Shop

 It has just gorgeous and sweet colors, I almost just want to keep it :) 

A new garland I added to my booth at (Uptowne Shoppes in LaPorte, IN)

 Thought it was so cute blowing in the wind, and somewhat a little patriotic too!!

I had a girl from work order this cute custom giraffe softie.
I thought he turned out pretty good! 
She wanted him pink, and when I found these colors I just thought it looked like her! :) 


Hope you have a wonderful day! 
I think Luke and I are going to pick strawberries tonight!! 
We got all the things we need to make Strawberry Jam .....I'm excited : )

Wishing you Big smiles for the day!!!!
xo Holly

    Ok, I don't know which cute thing to comment on first! The amazing birdbath, or maybe the patriotic garland! Love it all! Somebody is going to be thrilled with their new giraffe!
    Have a great time making jam Holly!

    For my fav it is a toss-up between the bird bath and the giraffe. I think the giraffe wins by a nose!

    Hey Holly! I have had the best time reading your past posts! I have been so busy lately and have really missed your blog. Looks like you have been busy too! I love the birdbath!! How adorable. The banner is just as cute as can be as is the giraffe! I just finished making strawberry jam, now it's on to peach and blackberry. Have a wonderful weekend, Holly

    Isn’t the globe birdbath too deep for the birds to use?
