Happy St. Paddy’s Day!  Have I ever mentioned that I was Ms. Shamrock my senior year in high school?  What a title to hold.    Yea…..I have a little bit Irish running through these veins………it would have been my dads 73rd birthday. 

Ahh sweet Marianne from Songbird. 

We should all have a Marianne. She’s one of the best blog commenter’s.   She’s always positive….except for today…..rubbing it in that she was in Spain and the sun was shining.  Well I’ll have you know missy…….it’s been sunny and 60 degree’s here in the Portland area (Oregon).  Who cares if it’s raining right now……..

Marianne’s blog is really cool because she’s from the Netherlands. So she writes in English and the rest in Netherlandlish.    Sometimes I read that part and pretend I actually  understand it.  I feel pretty cool when I do that. 

Marianne is also really good at joining my MckLinky Party on Tuesdays.  She left this wonderful plaster lace doily she did.  Of course there is a full tutorial on it…….her photos are always great.

She had plaster left over from these little beauties……plaster roses……Calm down….yes, she shows you how. I’m loving this chicken wire Cloche.  Who cares if that tips over…….it’s not going to break.  So perfect for indoor or out.  So perfect if you have an 11 yr old boy who brings his friends over to run through out home. Numbered items rate right up there with red doors.  Can’t. Get. Enough.

And yes yes…….she has a tutorial.

Love her kitchen………so European.  Really.

Now I love paint…..but I have never thought to paint a suitcase!  LOVE!

She’s got lots of before and afters………..oh how we love those.  How about this old army trunk…….It’s so pretty now.

   If you’re tired of decorating features and you crave more paper craft features…….just hold on to your horses……she also dabbles a bit with all things paper too. 

Cute card. I adore these Alice in Wonderland tags. Or how about this autumn banner she did……..last autumn.  Usually I just say Fall, but I feel more European if I say Autumn…….I just do.     Thank you Marianne for all your great photos and projects.  Thank you for being a great follower and leaving me comments almost every day.  The rest of you……take note.
