Spring Colors

Okay, maybe spring has not completely sprung just yet {low 30s for Dallas today} but we can still enjoy the colors that spring has to offer.  You can find spring colors anywhere...even in your own home; just take the time to look.  Where are your spring colors?

Here is a spring poem written by a child...it's simple, and honest.

Spring is here,

Spring is here,

Goodbye snow,

Flowers grow.

Birds and bees,

Leaves on trees,

Spring is here,

Spring is here.

Spring colors on my music

Spring colors in my book

Spring colors on my coffee

Spring colors on my food...

I made fish tacos the past two days.  I tried it with tilapia and then catfish...definitely liked tilapia better.  Here's the recipe...let me know I you decide to try it!

-blacked tilapia

-diced organic tomato

-julienne red cabbage

-organic avocado 

-chopped cilantro 

-creme fraiche

-white corn tortillas

-blue corn chips

-lime and orange to garnish

These coffee stickers were from a place I used to frequent back in 2004 called Diedrich Coffee 

{it was a small chain} and they truly believed in the art of coffee.  Not only was their selection of coffee from all over the world, it was a wonderful place to sit and read for hours on end. Sadly, they were bought by Green Mountain in 2006 and all stores were either re-branded or closed down.  I was so happy to have saved this bit of ephemera.

Cat Postcard

Happy Easter!!
Browsing the antique stores here in town last weekend, I came across a vintage postcard from the 1950s.  I was able to scan it and create my own fun postcard to give to friends and family.

Look at the artistic detail and thought that was put into creating this masterpiece.  And I LOVE the name of the airline!  Air travel like this is a thing of the past.  But this piece of unique nostalgia is a reminder of how it used to be.   

I created a vintage look to the back of the card with a Western font.

Then I decorated a glassine bag with stamps and washi tape.  I think it makes a great gift in of itself!  Perhaps for a going away party or a honeymoon?  What do you think?

Have a blessed week,

Chris
