Cottage Style Party & What I'm Pinning Now




I've been pinning up a storm lately!

I'm feeling open to suggestions.

The season changed, the weather is warmer and I'm looking for inspiration for projects I can do, or eat, or places to go, someday.


I'm always looking for cottage ideas!






Right now I am loving clean white kitchens with rustic and bling touches!


I love the crisp white wall cabinets with the rustic island, white subway tile, crystal chandelier and warm wood floors.




And then I saw this green kitchen!
*love*


I love the soft green beadboard drawers, the white open shelving above, the window seat (so perfect to sit while perusing a cookbook!) and the hint of harlequin floors!





And then I see this farm sink and all I can think of is 'how can I live without you?'


I love those curly brackets instead of curtains and the falling stars…so cute!







All that kitchen inspirations makes me think I could tackle this:



Maybe, some day, when the stars aline and I find all those wonderful components I'll know just what to do with them!






This is probably more my speed...


A bird cage with a plant tucked inside. 
Flea market season is here, it could happen!




I drooled over these peony tulips!


They are on my list for fall planting.






I wish this was my front gate, covered in roses!


Maybe some day…






With a front yard covered in flowers, no grass.


I bet these people feel so good when they come home to this!




Then I look for easy summer dishes to use the bounty 
(fingers crossed!) from my garden.


Like this delish Cucumber Tomato and Avocado Salad.
Yum!





Or this bruschetta.


So easy and yummy!



While I love this Lemon-Ricotta Cheesecake...


I will never make it. 
But it sure looks good!






I love all these Some-ecards on Pinterest and couldn't resist pinning some.

Like this one…


LOL!




If you hate spiders as much as I do...


Been there, done that, still find humor in it!





This is how I start everyday at work...


Hahahahahahaha






What have you been pinning lately?









Hello Friends!

Welcome to this weeks

The boxes of yard sale stuff are piling up and I can't wait until it is over! It is consuming my life and I'm can't wait for this weekend.

The left-overs go to the Goodwill at noon on Saturday.
I'm an early yard sale seller and just don't have the patience to sit around all day for no sales.
My rule of thumb is most sales happen before noon, then haul it to the Goodwill so they can make some cash on the rest.


Anyone else planning a yard sale this spring?

Or been to a yard sale?







Let's see what you've been up to…






Looks like Donna found some rusted roofing tiles and made some birdhouses with them!


I love how charming and rustic these are! Stop by Donna's blog Distressed Donna Down Home to see more of her rusted tile collection…so fab!








I just love this whimsical woodland table inspired by Beatrice Potter! How cute is that birds nest and those moss balls?


Hop on over to Kathy's blog A Delightsome Life to see all the details of this table setting!










I love this spring inspired Easter mantle!
The best part is this is not a mantle and its not even spring in Australia!
Gotta love Pernilla's sense of humor!


I love her collection of brass candleholders from her native Sweden and those rustic pinecones tucked in amongst the spring colors! Drop by Pernilla's blog Swedish Corner-Down Under to see more of her "spring mantle"!
Love it girl!

Cottage Style Party & A Spring Mantle






The calendar says it is spring, but the weather is still not cooperating.

(yes, it is snowing again…)




So I thought a little spring mantle update was in order!




You could say the theme was birds!




I feed the birds all year long, but in the spring I love waking up to their happy chirps in the morning!




No spring mantle would be complete without sunny daffodils.





I picked up a two-pack of feathery friends at the Dollar Store to tuck in here and there.




More birds on this clock I picked up this weekend along with the robins egg soaps.




Another feathery friend!




Birds and blooms!




How are you welcoming spring?

So sorry for the late post!
I'm having internet problems…sigh…

All fixed for now so let's get started!










I'm not the only one with a spring mantle update.
I love how Kathy updates her burlap wreath with a tiny birds nest and flowers!


The addition of books and green plants really feels like spring! Drop in the Kathy's blog A Delightsome Life to see more of her spring mantle update!











How sweet is this little birdie roosting on a candlestick?
So cute!


This is just a tiny part of the spring update going on at Maria Elena's cottage on her blog Our Home Away From Home. Stop by for a peek and don't miss her spring dioramas…whoa!










What can I say?
This is just so lovely!


Take it in…that's right…just soak in the beauty…
To see details of this pretty tea, visit Janet's blog Rosemary & Thyme.
