Cottage Style Party #38

The daff report:

Still not blooming in this winter that just keeps going.

Yesterday it snowed.

I thought the weather report was an April Fool's joke until it really did snow.

Grrr...

A tiny bit of spring is showing in the far backyard:

Sadly, these are memorial daffs for my kitty who died a year ago.

I always plant flower bulbs where I bury my pets.

Sad, yes, but the bright yellow flowers make me smile 

and remember my kitty.

Oh a happier note...

I found the below at the Goodwill this weekend:

A SWING!

And the best part was the price...

$20

Yep, that's right, $20.

It was half price day and I snagged it from the parking lot before the store opened.

Woohoo!

My mind is reeling with possibilities!

Definitely cushions and potted plants around the sides.

I already have a table for drinks and books.

Should I paint it?

The green is okay but I'm not crazy about it.

I like the canopy but not the color.

A new canopy in not affordable nor within my range of sewing skills.

Maybe if I painted it the canopy would look better?

What do you think?

Woot!

I'm so excited!

I'm posting a little early today as it is my parents 

58th wedding anniversary 

and we (my whole family) are going out to dinner with them!

58 years!

Woot...again!

Welcome to this weeks 

Cottage Style Party!

It looks like everyone had a wonderful Easter 

with lovely displays and table settings!

How cute is this woodland Easter basket? 

I love the mossy bunny, the ferns tucked in here and there, 

the burlap bow and pops of color!

Hop on over to Shannon's blog A Cozy Place Called Home to see the details on this basket.

I could see eating Easter dinner at this table!

I love the eggs under the cloche, the pretty floral dishes, 

the pink glassware and that rose covered teapot is to die for!

Stop by Just A Little Southern Hospitality to see up close the detail on that sweet teapot!

This is the prettiest buffet I have ever seen!

I love its fresh coat of pale pink chalk paint and the trim is amazing!

Drop in to Bernideen's Tea Time Blog to see the details 

of this buffet and the lovely display on top!
