Paisley's Pals...

Because I obviously have too much time on my hands, Jaina and I have started a new project. We've opened a new Etsy shop, Paisley's Pals, with a critter theme and ALL the proceeds are going to the shelter where we got our (not-so) Baby Puppy Paisley. Right now we've added Bark-tique puppy cookies in yummy flavors:



and a fun vintage feed sack purse all foofed up and ready to go!



There are a few more items we've planning on adding, including some new teeny chenille purses and fun squeaker toys. I'm thinking I may need to adopt a 3 day work week with a 4 day weekend in order to get everything done...

Not to mention I could really use the sleep...

Mockingbush...

Well, looks like this is it for the Forsythia blooms again this year. I KNEW it. I get my hopes up and then THIS:



It's laughing at me...

New Neighbors...

A couple of years ago we bought this cute little birdhouse. Mostly it was just supposed to be decorative, but we soon had a cute little birdie family move in. Each year since we've always had a family set up house.



This year Daddy Bird has been sitting on the roof looking for a wife. (David and I have had a bit of fun joking about Daddy Bird not being pretty enough for the girls.) We wondered if there was a new nest inside yet. I politely "knocked" on the roof and then took a peek inside. There were several sweet little feathers near the front door. I didn't think the Birdie family would mind if I "borrowed" a couple. Soooooo, I grabbed one and gave it a tug. Next thing I know there's some serious fluttering inside and a fairly angry-looking birdie eyeball staring out at me. It appears those feathers may still have been attached to its previous owner...oops.


And they thought this was a nice neighborhood...
