Painting the nest.

Well I finally cleaned up, scraped & got heat stroke removing the Pink Glitter Eiffel Tower & birdies I painted on my windows a while back. You know how it is.... you wake up one day & decide it's time for a change! Maybe it's the old age creeping in but I am into less clutter & a cleaner space around me. Using my new Verbena nested treasure logo I had it enlarged taped it on the inside of my window & with my craft paint went to work. I am in the process of making new pique assitte flower pots with a cool stain & will retake pictures when the front is complete. So for now to keep you posted here it is... it's not perfect but the price is right & my arms got a little work out.
Gone but not forgotten....Yes this is a Pink Eiffel Tower you are seeing...My ideas are endless & one day I though why not paint a pink Glitter Eiffel Tower on my left window.. a little wonky but it stopped a lot of traffic... and let me tell you there is NO traffic in Ocala.
second window I painted a birdie with pearl swags & birdie peace sign also added my version of whimsy sacred hearts... what got into me that day! Life of a hopless Retailer.
So this little birdies of happiness remain on the main doors of The Marion Block Building to greet you....see you soon we have many changes ahead & exciting news to come!!! xooxox Verbena Girl

Oh Laura,

WHAT A LOVELY AND PERFECT BLOG!!!!! Thank you for coming to visit me! HOW DID YOU FIND ME? And at this hour of the morning!!!! As I read your profile, I am inspired and moved. We all have our desires and dreams, and one of the simple pleasures that give many of us so much joy is CREATING a humble, grand, comfortable, relaxing or personalized living space. French décor and nesting themes are right up my alley, and your lovely shop reminds me of a few of my favorite stops here in my hometown of Minneapolis. A person just wants it all....the glitter, the little birds, the turquoise blue, everything!!

Please come by again soon....you are so kind! Anita
