Well, hello, Spring! I’m so happy you’re finally here!
Thanks to you, the temps are up, the days are longer, and the snow has nearly disappeared from Perry’s Point.
That said, I don’t have any pretty daffodils to show off or anything else outside that screams of spring, so I thought I’d bring you inside for a little pop of colour.
Hey, faux flowers with real branches are better than nothing, and they complement my little pair of golden figurines.
These two vintage figurines used to look too dated, so I painted them with gold paint.
I love their updated look. Now they come out every spring to brighten up our kitchen/dining room.
No surprise to find cat figurines around this house. Someday I might show them all to you!
This is my contribution to the 2019 Photo Challenge by Maria at ofmariaantonia.
I covered two: Good as Gold and Pop of Colour.
Jennifer, an inspired idea to paint your figurines – they are delightful and truly a touch of Spring! Now, you have to share more of your cat figurines … Happy Start to Spring! hugs xx

I love these figurines, Jennifer. They look so nice next to the forsythia! I like re-painting things that look dated. I did that with a little table in our house and now it looks like it belongs. It’s been cold all week here, but today the temps are in the 60s – I think we are on our way!

Thank you, Barbara. Repainting things are a great way to recycle something into a beautiful piece of decor.
Warming up here too, slowly but surely!

Thanks, Lois! I didn’t think they looked all that real until you mentioned it. Found the cat in an antique shop. 😊

Thanks, Jill. Yes, I like updating things for spring. I just noticed the portrait on my wall of a pair of mittens my grandchild painted. I need to replace it with my photo of blueberries for spring and summer. 🙂

Thank you, Jacqui. A lot of love went into restoring it – 96 years old! It was Paul’s grandfather’s house and we love it.
