Are you participating in the parties listed above? They sound like tons of fun. Today, Debbiedoo is hosting a spring magazine copy cat challenge.
My inspiration came from a lovely article in the February 2012 edition of Country Living Magazine (British Edition). The article is about incorporating homemade items into your decor.
Don't you know that the artist in me loves this cover!
I was inspired by this photo of hand thrown pitchers with forsythia branches. Such a pretty vignette for spring!
I used my collection of MacKenzie-Childs pitchers and creamers in my copy cat. They are handmade in Aurora, New York. I used pussy willow branches instead of forsythia.
Ta-da! Sorry about the darkness of my photo as it is very overcast here today.
Are you linking-up to any of these parties? I hope to see you there!
Until next time...
Blessings!
Ricki Jill

ReplyDeleteThe pitcher of forsythia is lovely and a sure sign of spring here. I love your copy with your amazing collection of MacKenzie-Childs pictchers. Wow, they do make a beautiful vignette but when you add the pussy willow it really is gorgeous. Great copy!
