Spring flowers on the china


First sun after after so many days of rain and gloomy clouds...
Can`t wait spring, fresh flowers, lovely buds on the branches and the perfect scent that wakes me up early in the morning... 
I found accidentally this amazing, low price china and fell in love instantly!!
You know that feeling when destiny take you to place where something is just waiting for you...
It was love at first sight and I knew they are waiting for me to bring them to home. 

Prvo sunce posle toliko dana kiše i tmurnih oblaka...
Jedva čekam proleće, sveže cveće, ljupke pupoljke na granama i savršeni miris koji me budi rano ujutru...
Potpuno slučajno sam pronašla po bagatelnoj ceni ove predivne šolje za čaj i zaljubila se momentalno!!
Znate onaj osećaj kada vas subina odvede neplanirano negde gde nešto čeka baš vas...
Bila je to ljubav na prvi pogled i odmah sam znala da čekaju da dođem i odnesem ih u njihov novi dom.

Old things new

I like to take old, ugly and useless stuff and create something new. 
This two baskets laying forgotten for some time now and I already thought to get rid of them, but...
Why would not I made something beautiful and useful?
Little effort, a lot of love and old becomes new. 

Volim da od starih, ružnih i neupotrebljivih stvari stvorim nešto novo.
Ova dve korpice leže zaboravljene već neko vreme i već sam razmišljala sa ih se otarasim ali
Zašto da od njih ne napravim nešto lepo i korisno?
Malo truda, puno ljubavi i staro postaje novo.

Make it Pretty Monday - Week 37

Hello World!  Guess what?  My rug came in that I ordered from Ballard Designs.  
It wasn't scheduled to ship until mid-March.  So, you know I was completely surprised when voilà there she was in the delivery man's hands.  This weekend I have spent a good portion of time shooing the cats off of it.  The Dedicated Husband said we should get one of those little dog fences to put around it.  He makes fun of me so much of the time.  Don't you feel bad for me?  Well, don't, I've got a pretty thick skin.  It's a small rug, so I even roll it up at night so the cats won't go in and try to claim it as their territory.  Silly rug lady.  Oh, and I got a bee in my bonnet and redesigned my blog.  What do you think?  Love it?  I hope so. 

Enough about me.  You people completely amazed me last week!  Seriously, do you people sleep?  The projects you can get done make my silly head spin.  Are you ready to see some features?  Welcome to Week 37 of:
