January is upon us and though it is cold outside I cannot help, but long for the Spring days that are just around the corner. Spring is such a beautiful time of year as it brings newness and freshness to our world and to our souls. Seeing pops of color from trees and flowers make each day seem like a dream. When the smell of flowers waft through the air...one cannot help but smile. I think Spring knows that she lifts our spirits and brings a smile to our faces after we have faced the cold winter months(even if they have been mild...it has been still winter).
I guess my love for Spring has created my new obsession with birds that I have had for the past year. I cannot get enough of birds. Everything I see with a cute bird on it,or a cute bird object, I feel like I need to have in my house. I have little birds on my mantle, soap dispensers with birds on them, bird scarves , and even birds in our showroom at our store...and yet I want more! I guess you can say I have gone to the birds! Moss balls are another obsession that has overtaken me the past year. When I see moss balls I envision ways I can decorate with them. I want to use them in vases, bowls, everywhere! Maybe its is just the green color that draws me to them or the fact that it reminds me of a small creek with moss growing on rocks. Either way moss balls make me happy.
I hope you are ready for Spring and all that she has to offer us. What is your newest Spring influenced obsession? Watch out , because you might go to the birds too!
