Things making me happy today...

....this aqua barn star from JoAnn's. It's the perfect color (it is greener in real life) and looks aged, even though it is new. It was $12.99 and I used my 40% off coupon. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to go get the smaller stars to go with it.

....surprise Happy Mail from Sue (svelteSTUFF)! She sent two darling red and white crocheted potholders and the sweetest red and white enamel flower pin. Love them! And she had it all wrapped up and tied with these old spools of thread in my favorite aged aqua blue. What a treat!


....My new haircut! I went today and got several inches chopped off and very blonde highlights put in. I'll have DH take a photo later. It's a big change and I think it's just the boost I needed. Doesn't it feel great to have a new haircut?

Hope you're all having a good weekend!

  2. I love the star as well--with the color it's a cross between Americana and shabby chic!

    Good for you on the new do! It is a great feeling to freshen your look up. I'm sorely in need of one myself! I haven't had a cut since October--YIKES. I'm a hot mess! LOL

  8. That star at Joanne's?? Really?? I've got my coupon in hand and I'm headed down there ~ LOL!
    A new spring haircut is just what the doctor ordered. Makes you feel lighter and peppier, doesn't it?!
