The graphics site is great - I shall be stealing this treasure from you and putting some of them on my blog too! I do wish that Victoria magazine still existed, I had a subscription for years - if they'd left well enough alone instead of trying to 'modernize' it they would have probably still been going. I think I shall try e-bay for some old editions, I didn't keep any of mine more's the pity.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-18060413828461288002007-02-23T23:12:00.000-06:002007-02-23T23:12:00.000-06:00Love your vignette on the tray!

Today we hit 70 degrees! <BR/><BR/>I light candles every day - they are my one guilty pleasure. I absolutely LOVE Yankee Candles. My husband does, too, so he doesn't really mind if I spend money on them.<BR/><BR/>I like to get out my spring wreaths and decorations after Valentine's Day. They really help to cheer me up and brighten my home. I also start using lighter tablecloths, floral napkins, pastel colors... all the things I've collected over the years to help usher in spring. I even put out Beanie Baby (remember those?) birds, because I love to watch the birds outside and they always remind me that spring is about to arrive!Genahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881221214286010482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-67441265352275797922007-02-22T16:24:00.000-06:002007-02-22T16:24:00.000-06:00Great ideas, Kelli.
