Walking the Mall

 
When the streets are too slippery and the sidewalks are not cleared,
we drive to the mall for our walk.
The inspiration is free, and I do find so many great ideas.
My budget does not include any actual shopping right now,
 but I sure love to window shop!

Isn't this art beautiful?  A die or punch is all you need,
 and the patience to line up all these hearts

 
Pottery Barn, be still my heart.
This giant basket with the egg shaped plates, swoon.
I do have egg shaped bowls, and a big basket...
My finger is on my temple as I think, think, think...
(It works for Winnie the Pooh.)

 
Where would I put brunch with a basket this size on the table?

 
I love the pops of green...

 
This was Willams Sonoma's window.  Love the large hanging...
Which reminds me, I have a large hanging with flowers and a watering can.
Years ago, there was a home on another block, just like ours.
Every year, for the spring, they hung a large banner, and I always admired it.
I told them so at a garage sale once.
One day, years later, I found the banner and one other at my front door.
The kindness of strangers!  They were moving and remembered that I admired them
 and wanted me to have the hangings. (They were store displays from Pier One.)
I need to hang it this year!

 
Eggs are a motif that I use year round.  I little modge podge and I could make a tray like this...

Anyway, that's what happens on our walks at the fancy pants mall.  Inspiring...

Another snowstorm is supposed to arrive about noon.  I've got soup in the fridge, projects to work on, and books that were never read on our trip to NY.  Hope that you are safe and snug where ever you are reading this. Thank you so very much for stopping by, and for your sweet comments.  They make my day.

What are you up to these last days of February?

I haven't been to a mall in ages, but I do love looking in Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, and Crate and Barrel! Looks like we're pretty much at the end of our snowstorm, except for another inch or 2 tomorrow. Maybe March will hold the promise of warmer weather?

Cute post. Lots of nice ideas.
Just got home last night from Colorado last night. So tired today. I will post tomorrow. Lots of snow there. Snow coming here now. Got to get over the missing my babies so I can get back in the groove.
