What do you think?
My newest Easter decorations! My niece & nephews got me these. As I was unwrapping the boy bunny, Edward said: "That's Pat!" (Looking dashing in your scarf & overalls, Pat!) The girl bunny is obviously me (orange dress, paint brush, matching scarf - sounds about right!).
I decided to make a second version - not only was I not completely satisfied with the way the land was tinted in the first version, but I want to keep a map as well.
Win-win. So I taped my map up to the window & traced a second one (while standing precariously on a chair - my windows aren't in the best location for substituting as a light box for such a large piece of paper). 
I shifted a few things & added some more detail. Now I just have to figure out how to add colour to the land. 
I've also settled on what I'm going to do with the back of my map: I'm going to write out a brief history of the land I'm mapping. I think it'll make everything a bit clearer & more fun! I've started drafting that already - I just have to determine how to fold my map before I write it out formally on the back.
Mostly that meant changing out the flowers & rearranging a bit... but can you spot the new addition? 
If you guessed "that milk bottle" you'd be right!
I snagged this gorgeous vintage milk bottle from my grandfather's house after the funeral (don't worry! I didn't steal it - I asked!). It isn't particularly significant & I have no memories linked to it, but my mom pointed it out in the dusty basement & I just had to have it. It'll remain a sweet reminder of my grandparents.
The label on the bottle says "Georgian Bay Creamery Limited" but I'm not sure about its rarity or value. It doesn't really matter of course, I'll be keeping this memento as part of my home decor for years to come.
It's Mosaic Monday! I hope you'll join us - it's really easy! Just make a photo mosaic - you can use whatever photo editing software you like, or a website such as the mosaic maker & photos from Flickr - & then post it on your blog. Go ahead & pick a theme if you want, but don't feel like you have to. Have fun with it!
