love: country living's spring florals

im shamelessly addicted to magazines...no joke, in any given month, i will get at least five different magazines in the mail....and my husband always knows one way to cheer me up...grabbing me the latest copy of Real Simple or Glamour while hes at the grocery store....what a guy :-)

well, i just got my latest Country Living today....and i fell in love....so many pretty ideas for Spring...between last month's copy and this months, i had to share some photos with you....
flowers flowers flowers! i love the floral decoupaged vases....and of course the floral shoes, below....i think i also fell in love with this photo because of the rolled-up jeans and tire swing....

and this necklace! dont you want it? too bad its Kate Spade and runs for like $300.....but it did remind me of this DIY version posted on oneprettything today...i might have to go buy some shrinky plastic after reading that DIY tutorial.....

this photo struck me because i am constantly finding various vintage hankies at antique shops...but with no idea what to use them for....i have been thinking of table runners anyway because of this tutorial for a DIY doily runner...

and i just love this last pic...the simplicity of wildflowers and random glass bottles, all tied up with string....

I love you Country Living!
