April Showers....

Ok, I KNOW it's not quite April YET...but we all know its right around the corner!! If you are looking for a unique and FUN door arrangement, prepare yourselves!! 

THIS inspiration picture has been on my desktop for 2+ years......

 I LOVE the umbrella, I LOVE the colors and I LOVE the unique quality.....I have been waiting to find one of these fab style umbrellas for under $10.00 and VINTAGE  - wow, that would be the JACKPOT!!

Guess what?!?! While perusing the Salvation Army last week, this lil beauty was in the mens section on top of the clothing....

YES friends! Its my favey lime green, it's VINTAGE AND.....

 That's right - $1.00!! It almost made me holla! Right there in the store!! Truth be told, it was sitting in my trunk until 2 days ago when I was UBER inspired - I was ON FIRE!!

NOW, my challenge is to recreate that beautiful inspiration picture on a budget of ZERO!! (frankly I shouldn't even have bought the umbrella that's how tight my budget strings are)....SO I dug through the garage and found a box of "odds & ends flowers" ever since reading the Nesters post years ago about fake flowers I have prohibited myself from buying them. From what I had I was able to make THIS:

Pretty Close to the inspiration photo wouldn't you say? Instead of pinks though, I went with Citrus colors. Happy Friday!
