Look what came prancing into my house a few weeks ago, bringing with them a breath of fresh air. A chorus line of chicks, each one cuter than the last. Today we are calling for snow but I don't care. I have a bit of spring right here! 
I joined my first swap hosted by Lori and really enjoyed myself. I was partnered with Stephie from Made by Stephie and just had a ball. We emailed each other and found out what each other liked and of course, we kept it 'springy'!
When I visited Stephie's blog I found that she was one of those bloggers that loves to re purpose old furniture and thrift finds, things we all love to do. And she had some great posts on how she changed an ornate mirror into a jewelry tray and how she took and old dresser and fixed it up as her own. Lots of great tips and directions. I urge you to pay a visit to her blog. This girl has talent!
Aren't these chicks darling?
Stephie kept the theme going with a cute cake stand, egg cups and a chick oven mitt. Oh, spring is in the air!
And she made a precious brooch or hair accessory from fabric that she brought back with her from Paris. Given that I live in pony tails, this will get a lot of use!
I had just as much fun shopping for Stephie and kept the spring theme as well and tried to remember that she loved vintage. You can go to her blog to see what she received from Blondie.I told Lori she has to have a Summer Fling. This was too much fun. Pay Lori a visit, she has a great blog and hosts Get Your Craft On Thursday, which is neat.
Don't forget Wednesday is Kathleen's Blog Crawl for St. Paddy's Day! Don't you just love a party?

Oh my gosh what delightful springtime treats! I love those darling chicks!!! =)
I love the chicks, especially since they can be squeezed and loved by little hands! My sweet little granddaughters are on their way here for a spring break visit -- I've put all the heavy eggs up high so they won't drop them on their toes.
I love those little chicks. Going to check out her blog!
Those are just beautiful goodies. I 'm glad you had fun! :) Those chickies are beyond cute!

Hi Jane, oooh those little chicks are just precious! Everything she sent you is perfect for Spring... I will check her post and see what you sent to her... I love ponytails still too... please post a photo of you in your pony tail! xoxo Julie Marie
The chicks, egg cups plates and more just too adorable!

xxoo
ok, how cute are those...TOO Cute!!! what a fun swap!
Love the marching chicks! Luckily they are inside and the forecast snow won't bother them. I guess I shouldn't tell you we had 82 degrees today. ;-) It was so beautiful We've had some not-so-great weather lately. Okay, okay, I know, 65 or so is not bad, even when it rains along with the cooler temps. It's all relative. In any case, spring is on its way, here, there and everywhere!
Hugs,
Tamerie

Those chicks are soooooo cute!! And the egg cups! I am SO ready for Spring! I live in the South girlfriend and we have frozen our arses off this winter!!
Ri-flippin-diculous I say! Cameron had a ballgame Saturday and I was sitting there in my coat, wrapped up in a blanket with my heater on and the wind just blowing like the dickens and Cameron is standing out there on the field wearing a baseball uniform! I said, Man...he looks COLD!!!
Stay warm!!
Lou Cinda :)
Those chicks are so adorably cute...my goodness.
What sweet little chicks. It sounds like a fun swap, and you received some wonderful items.
Have a great week.
Blessings,
Marcia
Oh, those are just the cutest decorations!
Those little chicks are adorable and bring a smile to the face. I could never be sad as long as those little chicks were around. Fun!
Janie, The chick theme was precious and all of your goodies were so cute. Who couldn't use another cake plate, I ask. Love the little egg cups- I think it is so frou-frou to use them and I can't find any. boo hoo
Glad you had fun with this, Off to check this "chick" out! xo sue
Wonderful gift and I LOVE the little chicks:) They are just precious! Have a blessed day my friend!
How cute! I would love to be apart of something like this.
What is the blog crawl? Sounds fun!
Oh my....I NEED THOSE EGG CUPS!! The little chicks are sooo adorable, how on earth are they made?? Too, too cute!
Good Morning Jane Sweetie...
What a wonderful Spring exchange you had. I adore all the chickie things. You can now decorate for Easter in a chickie theme. I love the cake plate. With a cloche over that, won't it look grand? You could then put your chickies in there. Love it.
I will go by Stephanie's and check out what you sent. I am doing an Easter swap. That will be fun. Can't wait.
We are expecting 82 degrees today here in the great AZ desert. I love Spring. The best time for temps. I will be thinking of you.
Have a beautiful day sweetie. Thanks again for sharing today. Country hugs and much love, Sherry
Jane-I just knew you were going to tell me she repruposed those adorable chicks and made them herself--I couldn't have stood it :) You got some darling things and a much needed touch of spring! I have busy painting at my daughter's house and have not visited as much lately (plus had the computer bug). Headed over to see what you sent. Happy St. Patty's Day!
What wonderful treats! I missed that. Sounds so fun!
Those chicks are SO cute! Adorable!
The spring fling was so so much fun! I love the chick theme you got from Stephie. Great idea! Your blog is awesome. I'll come back again! Have a wonderful day!
What wonderful things, Jane! I absolutely love the chicks!
So many great things she sent you! I am so loving those sweet little chickies!!!
Blessings!

How cute are those chicks--and their colors are wonderful. What a great swap Jane. Enjoy your goodies. I hope that Spring is poking up outside your windows as well. It does my heart good to see the earth coming back to life after this extra-long winter!
