Spring in the sunroom....

The sun was so bright yesterday morning I thought it was the perfect day to freshen up the sunroom for spring...the mantle was already tweeked so I just finished the rest...

found a wonderful ruffled blanket at Ikea.....

and remembered I had this old shelf John made me years ago....

of course I love my french pillows....

and some candle light....

a small pile of linen & my cross from Haiti...

its all the little things that make this my favorite room.....and all your visits that make blogging worth while.......thank you ! Till next time all the best, Chrissy
