Happy March!





Can you believe it's March already?  As March heralds the start of Autumn here in Australia I was inspired by the colour orange and falling leaves to create this month's calendar vignette.  I made a necklace out of paper letters I bought at Kate's Paperie and wrapped lots of gingham ribbons and pleated trim around the neck of our vintage French Mannequin.  This month we are opening our back displays at Black & Spiro again.  This is the third time we have redecorated the 2 back rooms since our re-opening last year.  We are using lots of orange and lavender.  I can't wait to unveil them in the coming weeks.  Happy March Everyone!

    I must say I'm really loving your calendar vignettes.
    January's really captured the essence of summer here in Australia and February was perfect for you being in NY.

    March! yeah! :-) .. and tomorrow is my BELOVED sister's b-day. :-) I just love her so much!

    March means that we're getting closer to Spring here in North America (I'm in Canada btw), but it will not feel like spring to me until late April, mid May. Yep.. It will take a while still... but it's better than nothing, right?

    How's Fall in Australia? Does it get chilly? I hope you have a beautiful and colorful Autumn... as these pictures, Anne.

    Have a Blessed day!
