Hi Mimi,
Thanks so much for linking to our party and your sweet comments about my pillboxes. I try not to pay more than 50.00 dollars. But they are usually between 10.00 to 20.00. You can find them in lots of variety.
It was a pleasure meeting you. Please visit often, we love new friends!
Hugs,
Patti

I'm with you Doni. I'm ready for spring. It's going to feel a lot like spring here in New York City today. The high will be 72 degrees. I hope there won't be a frost. The buds on one of the neighborhood cherry blossom trees is starting to bloom.

Thanks for sharing this. You are right, carnations can look really nice - just depends on how you arrange them! Thanks for sharing this at last week's Drab to Fab! I'd love to see more of what you've got, come on back over to this week's party!
