Think Spring

A fine Friday to all of you!

Tomorrow is March 1.  Could spring really be coming?  Not sure, here, because
we are having freezing rain and snow on Sunday.

Regardless, the calendar says March and so we're going to start thinking spring.
I love birds, and to me spring screams birds.

This framed print reminds me of something I would have seen in my great-grandmother's house.
She was born in 1887.  Not primitive, and not quite country, I would say it is vintage. What
do you think?

I like it beside this drop-leaf table.  I couldn't find pineapples this year but artichokes seem
to be big and they are close enough. :). 

We have this in the store $25.75 as well as one that sits a little higher on the pedestal.

 Time to change the red tea kettle to the yellow one.

Gotta love chalkboards.  And, of course, spring flowers and a nest with eggs.
Have a great weekend!!

One More Essential Oils Post

Happy Thursday!

Tomorrow I have spring pictures for you but today I wanted to add one more thing
to my posts on essential oils. 

We use our diffuser a lot.  We diffuse "Peace and Calming" sometimes at night. 
My girls like the soft light and the calming sounds of the water diffusing into
a mist.  It's something like the sound of a water fountain, only softer.  We have
also diffused "Thieves" when someone felt like they were trying to "come down
with something."  Peppermint is sometimes diffused when we are schooling as it
gives sharpness, clarity, and retention when concentrating.  Last week, butter spilled
over in my oven and we had the nice, burning smell going on in the kitchen.  I put
in the oil, "Purification" which gobbles up odors, and within a couple of minutes the
smell was gone and a cool mist of rosemary, lemongrass, tea tree, myrtle, and
citronella filled the room.  Almost forgot--lavender is a great smelling one to
diffuse as well.

 

If you look closely, you can faintly see the mist coming up.  It diffuses up to two hours or you
can diffuse 20 or 30 minutes at a time.  In an oils class I heard a lady say she has her girls
diffuse "Thieves" for a few minutes when they get home from school and she reports
healthy girls.

Young Living oils are part of our family's routine for health and well-being.  If I can
share anything in particular with you or answer any questions you might have about
their ability to make your life better, just ask.  I love sharing what I know about them.

See you tomorrow with images of spring!
