. . . allergies! I looked out this morning to a breezy day. Snow? Nope, just pollen and small blooms. (These blooms were completely full yesterday.)
Ahchew. I had purchased these essential oils on sale ($1.99 vs. $16.00!) months ago. I whipped the sniffle one this morning and sprinkled some on little pieces of flannel for the kid and I. Poor guy, he has really been hit hard this year. He's even had to use eye drops. Hopefully, this will help a bit.
Look what else I saw this morning. Like I have said, I haven't been home long enough to look around and seems like the caterpillars have taken over my tree, once more. I normally get rid of them before they get big like these by tearing the cocoons down before they hatch.
Ew. Since I can't stand to kill anything and definitely don't use pesticides, I guess these guys will have a field day on my leaves this year. My own fault.
The skies were beautiful today. We were due thunder storms but they never materialized. We have some of the prettiest skies here. I could just sit and watch the clouds for hours. This was taken by the coffee shop looking towards the west side of our valley.
This is what I did today. I finally drug the
ol' supplies out and made a couple of "London boxes." I lovingly call them "London boxes" because that is where I first saw this process--at
Pollock's Toy Shop. They are so much fun to make. Of course, spring is the theme this day.
Ok, now I am totally pining for London.

love your london boxes. hope the pollen soon dies down so you and the kidster can enjoy the outdoors.
oh the dreaded allergies of the season - I hope the essential oil helps.
Love your London boxes, I could seriously spend HOURS in that shop. I want to go back to the UK SO bad!!
I so adore how you've set out all your Easter and Spring things around your home. Everything you do is always such splendor to see.
oh and yes, I saw the plate at Riverside, I thought I commented. It made me feel so happy!
XOXO
Love your London boxes!! :)
Beautiful box! You're making me jealous with all of the blooming going on outside the window. Not jealous of the allergies however. If you can be sneaky (I know you can) look in my old backyard and see if the wisteria is still there. I'd cry if they cut it down.
Tell the kid I send my love and hope his allergies calm down.
I was just looking at the box you made for me today!! I'm keeping my cards that I get from my internet friends in it!
This one is very cute...my fingers are itching again
*big grin*!!
I like you "london box"!!!
Our blossoms here are being over taken by leaves but we still have oak pollen to deal with. It is not easy being allergic!
My dear you are just so talented. I love this creation you call a London Box. Such detail and vibrant colors used can't help but catch everyone's eye.
Hugs,
Connie
This box is magnificent! Wow!
Spring has definitely arrived at your house in the most delightful ways. Tulips and bunnies and this wonderful wallpaper is perfect for you! I've really enjoyed seeing it all. Lilacs are definitely right up there with wisteria. I'm counting the days 'til mine bloom.
Have you tried Claritin for allergies. I have always suffered and it works for me. Plus I use a cortison nose spray during the really bad part of the season.
Love the box-it is really beautiful.
Love the box!! Its so charming. I found a cigar box at Big Lots. I need to run back and get it. Thanks for the inspiration! Ahhh chooo. See? I get those sneezies too.
My son Corey suffers from seasonal allergies and he sneezes up a storm when this time of year arrives. I sympathize with anyone who suffers with this!! Ugh, caterpillars...we have a problem with them every year but not this early, usually in June. Oh how I love your "London boxes"...beautiful!! Love the little eggs you put in the corner:-) I also enjoyed seeing all your wonderful Easter decorations in your previous post!!! xox
