More Newness

Just like my spring garden, we've got more newness popping up here at Plumrose Lane and that's in the form of some brand new blog themes (crowd goes wild!).*smile* These new themes are bursting with beauty and  gobs of intricate details... I love the darling little blue bird with patina-ed crown in Cotton Butterfly and how about those shells, feathers, and bones in Featherly? ~ sheer bohemian delight!

To view all the goodies for these newest themes and spruce up your springtime blog, just click the images or linked titles above.

These newest themes are also packed full of color which makes them a perfect submission for Creative Everyday's monthly challenge ~ "Color"!  Participating in Leahs's monthly challenges is my little way of stepping outside my busy custom-work schedule to create something "just for fun".  You can stop by Leah's blog to check out all the wonderful submissions for this month's challenge and be sure to look over her own artwork which always leaves me thoroughly inspired.

Spring Sale

I was so surprised when I went to create the button for this post and saw how long it had been since I last held a sale. I guess that speaks volumes about what a crazy year it's been so far so certainly this is long overdue.

I can't think of a better time to hold a sale ~ Spring is certainly one of my favorite seasons.  I like all of the seasons but seeing new flowers blooming each day holds an extra bit of excitement.  I don't know about you but tend to forget where I've planted my bulbs so it's like mini surprise party each morning when I take a peak at the garden to see what's new!

Spring is always a great time for sprucing up our blogs and there are so many different ways to do it.  You can sport a new background, add a decorative divider or button, or go all out for a new banner.  Spring themes carry us far into summer's warmer temps with more flowers blooming and garden parties filled with friends and laughter.

So whether you're looking for a new festive look for your blog or a lovely new treasure to wear to a Spring fling, stop by my Etsy shop for some wonderful seasonal savings!
