The sun is shining! It is still only 45 degrees with a high of 50 predicted, but I'll take it as long as the sun is shining...and it is supposed to all day. If I seem abnormally excited, well I am, after days and days of cold, wet, gloomy days.

My parents arrived home from Florida late last night. I worked last night, so I haven't seen them yet (as of this morning). Can't wait to get over there later today! Say a prayer for them would you? While on their way home, their van was broken into at a motel. The back windows were smashed in and the crooks took their time taking lots of valuable things. They are both okay (it happened while they were safe sleeping in their room), but now they have to deal with insurance claims and police reports.

If you missed it, I posted about my drop cloth flowers I've been making. I love wearing one on my jean jacket.

Thank you all for your lovely linkups last week! I sincerely appreciate each and every one of you. You make this party special.

This weeks features start with this gorgeous vanity, painted by Mary at Orphans With Makeup. I love every little detail about this piece!

Kristi, from Making it in the Mountains, created this gallery wall to help disguise an awkward bump out. Now it looks like it was made for this purpose!

We've all seen these old boxy style chairs, but who would have guessed they could turn into something so shabby chic? Biljana Shabby did and what a beautiful job she did!

The tradition of surprising neighbors with May Day baskets is something my family never did. In fact I've not heard of many around here that do this. But what a delightful tradition. Wouldn't you love to recieve a basket of flowers this beautiful on your door? Patti, from Old Things New shares her basket and story.

Want to give a sweet, inexpensive, but impressive hostess gift? Eliza Ellis shares how she turned a whoops moment, into these delightful wrapped gifts.

I will be the first to admit that the art of cake decorating completely escapes me. But I think, maybe, just maybe I could do this. Kat, from Homemade Interest shows how easy it is to create these petals with balls of frosting. The cake sounds absolutely delicious too!

Now it's your turn. Show us what you've accomplished. Can't wait to see what you've been up to!
