Bluebonnets, Daisies, Indian Paintbrushes...
Our Saturday started with a trip to the Farmer's Market. Fresh red romaine and Buttercrunch lettuce ...
Also, some local honey...perfect for toast!
At a local resale store I found this cardboard cupboard for $1.00! The artwork is done by Marjolein Basten, one of my favorite artists.
I tucked it into a corner on the patio.
There are envelopes and shelves inside for seed packets and mini gardening tools.
Saturday afternoon I got out some fabric scraps for a little sewing.
I made these mini strawberry pincushions while watching the new Charlotte's Web movie.
I added mini beads and pearls to a few of them...
I hope you enjoyed these scenes from our weekend. Tuesday is "May Day" so I will be back soon with some fun ways to celebrate it. Have a great week!

First off Kelli, thanks for your love.
That little cupboard is adorable. And Marjorien Basten is one of my favorites too. What a bargain!
I love your little strawberry pincushions. Please tell me you had a pattern. I couldn't stand to think that you are THAT talented to just whip it up. They are indeed precious.
My favorite picture is your little girl (I assume but perhaps I am wrote?) crouching among the flowers. That is so sweet.
I am glad you had such a lovely weekend. I need to rent that Charlotte's Web movie. We are Dakota Fanning fans here, the Butler and me.
Happy Monday!
Thanks for sharing. Loved it all. That cupboard for $1.00!!! The little strawberries are so cute, especially with the beads. I hope someday to see your Texas bluebells in full bloom.
Oh, wildflowers ~ so pretty. In our old town, we always took long walks down our country road to pick wildflowers. I'm not sure where we'll go to see them this year!
Your $1.00 cabinet is just too adorable; you get the best bargains! And those strawberry pincushions are darling! Sounds like you had a great weekend! :o)

Kelli - so much fun! thanks for sharing the link to the pattern from Martha - I am printing it off and going to search through my fat quarters tomorrow to make a pint or so for our local strawberry festival! The kids love to decorate the house in honor of our town's facination with strawberries, but finding cute decorations is often hard! We'll follow your lead and maek some of our own!
i love the cupboard, so pretty...The strawberries are so pretty..
the strawberries are adorable!
Oh Kelli, what sweet pincushions!
They are precious!
Our farmer's market is on Thursday and we buy makings for a very fresh
chicken salad that is to die for...
I also go to get wonderful flowers from a very sweet lady there!
I love the cupboard! I do wood painting (tole painting, decoupage etc.) and that is adorable! Your pincushions look prettier than Martha's, the fabric colors you picked are beautiful!
Thanks for sharing your pictures!! I really liked your handmade strawberries! Blessings, Diane
Found your blog from another one I frequent, and I just wanted to say I love these pincushions! They are very cute, and they look very easy to make!
