~Cabin Fever!

This is the time of year when I experience cabin fever in a big way! The snow keeps coming and coming!…but I do know the calendar says it’s March, so I’m really hopeful all this snow will melt soon!

I’ve taken so many photographs of snow that I’ve become bored with it!

So…no snow pictures in this post…except for maybe one or two…☺

I would like to show you some photographs of my friend Maria’s new studio/warehouse! She’s such a creative and talented artist! You might also know her as

“Primitives by Maria”

These are some of Maria’s own personal collections. I love how she mirrors the print on the wall with the real deal!

These snow pictures aren’t even from the blizzard! We just had another super snowstorm! This is why I have cabin fever!

I did a lot of dreaming of Spring on Pinterest!

I decided to take out my own

springy stuff!

During that last snowstorm I felt like I needed to lighten things up in the kitchen so I went to work painting my wainscoting a lighter color.

Then I headed over to a friend’s home to see her springy stuff! Can you tell that we’re all tired of the snow?

Laura has the the neatest collections of vintage toys.

  Then Maria, Laura and I headed to

Counting Sheep Antiques in Berlin, MA. We went on the day after the super snowstorm. We all had cabin fever by this point!

Maria set up a booth in Sally Barker’s shoppe, it has a really cute farm theme. She calls it the farm that she always wanted!

Here Maria & Sally are sharing a tender moment. ♥
