Can you feel it? The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and the people are smiling! Ahh … Spring is in the air. And it has made its way into our little cottage.

a cottage window with vintage lace
Salutations! The sun has been shining a little more around here and we have been getting reacquainted with our garden! I am afraid our fair weather friend has been somewhat neglected! The red camellia has bloomed and I am anxiously awaiting for more plants to show off their Spring color.

I’m lightening things up for Spring with warm whites, red camellias from the garden, and a vintage crochet throw. The sofa is wearing all neutrals with white and taupe pillows and an ivory crochet throw, apparently she needed a little break from blue. I’ve been noticing more all white rooms on Pinterest and I want in!

I have been feeling pretty lousy the past couple of days, and I’ve ended up spending a lot of time plopped on the sofa watching these tulips grow. Did you know tulips continue to grow even after they have been picked? […]

Happy Fall!! So this is one of my new favorite decorating tips. While you’re at the market, fill your basket with some of your families favorite produce, add some flowers or herbs or whatever you have from the garden, and call it a centerpiece. I love how simple and pretty it looks. My kiddo’s fall fruits of choice are pomegranate, pears, and apples, but the possibilities are endless!
