Easter Nest

Out shopping with my daughter we saw a lovely idea in  a kiddies clothes shop in Yarm,   the walls were painted grey with white  frames on, and hung inside the frames were dresses and cardigans  with luggage type labels holding a description of the dresses and cardigans



along the top of the wall was a wahing line with tights, hats and birds  pegged on and there were old drawers  glued on the wall.


I'd love to copy this in Alexa's bedroom or even our bedroom, I could just see one of my summer frocks draped in a frame,  mr lucey said "no you can't"!!


We  picked up a farrow and ball colour chart and I chose a lovely deep shade of grey called "down pipe" for the front door,




I thought would look nice next to the pansies I've just potted up and the lavender when it comes out.


oops it looks a bit lop sided there!!

I got the needles out yesterday and made myself a nice yellow bracelet and brooch just in time for easter,


the brooch is made from angora wool so it looks like a "nest" and I stitched a gorgeous chicken button in the middle, then I knitted a bracelet and stitched on a few pretty buttons,



Picture this, I bribed my ten year old  grandson (with a fiver)  sporting his best grey hoodie to wear them for me while I took a couple of pics,



He said "will anyone be seeing these grandma 'cose I have to think of my street cred" (me) "no, of course not!!

Right I'm off to put on a summer frock and enjoy the sunshine while I can.

Some great makes. Cant wait to see your front door when its all painted! I desperately want to do my front door (its an orange stain colour - nothing to do with us!) and the porch, but cant decide between blue, green or grey!!

I was going to put 'do it in the bedroom' but that doesn't sound quite right - so I shall say when Mr L is not around just decorate the bedroom as you wish - I bet he wouldn't mind! The shop looks fab what great design ideas might pinch a few for my own home - when K is out of course. Great easter makes tell your grandson his street cred is safe.

Just catching up on my blog reading :) what a sweet display idea... I always think I'd like to do something like that but then I decide I'm not brave enough! And don't think my OH would really be that impressed if I started hanging my dresses on the wall :D hehe. Let us know if you do it though! xxx
