Ahoy! Spring is in the air and so are the spring outfits! We love the way the store transforms into a bright and fun space when the new spring outfits start to arrive. Say goodbye to all the dark colors from winter, Hello color! Hot pink, yellow, aqua, orange, and lime green just to name a few! But who can forget the classic yet always in style year to year, navy and white! The polka dot, stripe or solid you cant go wrong with the nautical look for spring and summer. 
Here are a few nautical numbers to get you in the spirit!

Last Minute Easter Treats!

Happy Easter to everyone! I can't believe Easter is already this Sunday. Although it is later this year it has come to fast. The Crafting Chicks have provided yet another great idea to celebrate this Easter holiday! Here is a cute creative Easter idea to give away to friends or family. And super easy!
Step 1: First gather those empty egg cartons.
Step 2: Purchase a bunch of Easter candy! Choose an assortment of colors and textures.



Step3: Fill as many spaces as you like with plastic eggs. Only use half of the egg, leave the other half off.


Ooohhh looks yummy! A great creative way to display some Easter candy

Next you can grab some colorful spring fabric to wrap around your egg carton. And tie a ribbon around it or whatever you can find around the house :)


Perfectly crafty and easy Easter treats! For more information on this project you can check out The Crafting Chicks.
Enjoy this fun project with your family and have a wonderful Easter holiday!!

Happy Easter!
