Hi Friends, this week it's "goodbye February and Hello March"! In my head March is early Spring and bunnies and green and anything mossy, start running through my brain. Even with a bit of snow on the ground all things "early Spring" are fair game.

Farmtable Vignette with Daffodils
Hello friends, it's been since the beginning of the year that I've shared what's happening here on the farm table in the Garden Room. It's late February now so it was time for an early Spring look with some daffodils and narcissus with a few pussy willows mixed in for a natural look. It's still wintery looking outdoors, but at least I can have a little green and color indoors.

Hints of Spring at All About Home #184
Hey Everyone, Hello and welcome to All About Home #184. We're heading into the end of February and before we know it, "Spring will have Sprung". We're seeing days in the 60's with a few cold snaps thrown in, and I'm itching to grab some blooming spring plants for some garden-y decor.

Early Spring Garden Tray with Paperwhites
"Spring" starts making it's appearance the day after Valentine's Day around here. Moss and nests, and daffodils and crocuses start peeking out of the ground and I know that inevitably there will be 65 degree days and the promise of green grass.

All About The Love at All About Home #183
Hello everyone, Welcome to All About Home #183!!! Hard to believe that it's Valentine's Day! Did you all have a busy weekend? Between Valentine's Day celebrations and the Superbowl, I imagine many of us were busy with all the fun. We're not football people, but since the Chiefs are from Kansas City, Missouri we thought we'd watch a bit of the last of the game. Have to admit it was super exciting.
And as always, we thank each of you and appreciate you coming by.

Romantic Vintage Valentine Review
Today I thought I'd share a few fun pics from previous Valentine posts. This first one is from last year on the Cookbook Nook with some vintage Valentine cottage elements.

Valentines By Candlelight
Hello Friends and Welcome to the Lifestyle of Love gathering hosted by our friend Cindy, of County Road 407, where today we're sharing how we use candles and candlesticks in our vintage decor. This is an every-other month group where we share how we use topic items in our vintage decor. Since it's just a few days before Valentine's Day I thought I'd share how I use candles and a favorite pair of vintage candlesticks in a sweet vignette.

Vintage Valentine Jewelry and Art
Monday at the All About Home Link Party I featured a post with a wonderful piece of Valentine Art. It was created in the style of antique and vintage art pieces created with vintage jewelry pieces and buttons. Traditionally these were created with a black or dark velvet or velveteen background. Often times we see these for Christmas in the shape of a Christmas tree, but this was done in a heart design that I absolutely fell in love with.

Beautiful Valentine's at All About Home #182

As always, we thank each of you and appreciate you coming by.

Easy Romantic Vignette on a Tray
Sometimes we want to do a little decorating but don't want to make a huge commitment by slathering holiday decor all around the house. Valentine's Day is one of those times that I like to gather some of my fun vintage pieces but don't necessarily want to cover every surface with hearts.

Valentine's Day in the Holiday Cupboard
Welcome to February...
let's have some fun in the Holiday Cupboard!
Do you have a favorite place to "putter" with decor? I've mentioned before how much I love playing in this cupboard with dishes and knick knacks. It goes back to my old days of having vintage goods spaces where every inch was fair game to "decorate" for holidays and seasons. Besides, it's good therapy for me to design and create with dishes and ephemera. And since it's Valentine's Day I'm gathering all things floral, sweet, pink, and teensy bits of red!

Fun Spring Inspiration at All About Home Link Party #133
Hello friends and Welcome
to the All About Home Link Party!
We may thaw out a bit this week, as we're supposed to get into the upper 60's. I love all the seasons but I'm ready for Spring. I imagine most of you are feeling the same. This week it's all about some fun Spring-y inspiration.
Thank you so much for taking the time to come by and share what you're up to this week. We're always excited to seeing all the great DIYs, decor, crafts, gardening, recipes, and seasonal fun that you're all creating.
On another more serious note, most of us know this has been a long sad week with the invasion of Ukraine. We also have lost two lovely talented ladies here in blogland. Paula from Virginia Sweet Pea and Michelle of The Painted Hinge. Please join me in praying for strength and peace for their families and the Ukrainian people.

Early Spring Faux Daffodil Centerpiece
It's cold, snowy, sleet-y, and generally yucky outside but there's a little bit of Spring in the Garden Room. I really like to keep my floral arrangements and decorating "seasonal", with what is happening outside be what is happening indoors. It's about time for the Daffodils to show up; their happy little faces peeking up through the cold garden soil and even snow.

All About Home Link Party #132
Hello friends and Welcome
to the All About Home Link Party!
I'm counting down the days to March and the unofficial start of Spring. How about all of you? We are in an up/down cycle of cold weather and snow/ice then warmer weather up to the 50's and low 60's. The plants and little critters aren't sure what to be doing. I even saw my last year's baby chipmunk out running around on the back porch this last weekend. "I'm ready to ditch the hibernation folks... Is it Spring yet?" Yep, I agree!
Thank you so much for taking the time to come by and share what you're up to this week. We're always excited to seeing all the great DIYs, decor, crafts, gardening, recipes, and seasonal fun that you're all creating.

Scottish Tartan Throws for Decorating
Hello friends, how's your mid-February going? Warm... cold... a little of both? Since it's still February and currently 40 degrees today, I guess technically it's okay if I share a little something in the warm/snuggly/cuddly category. I'm talking about Tartan wool throws and blankets. I have several that are vintage, that I use for Thanksgiving and Christmastime decor. I just love anything Tartan plaid and I'm a teensy bit obsessed with all things Burberry or resembling that particular plaid.

Romantic French Couples in the Holiday Cupboard
Love is in the air in the Holiday Cupboard!
In my meager quest for a bit of organization after Christmas, I went through a few more unopened boxes in my storage room in the basement. One of them has been in plain view but haunting me for the last 3 years because I just didn't have a place for the contents. Two houses ago I had a curio cabinet in the dining room where I kept a few of my more delicate pieces of porcelain and china. During my "shabby" French-y phase I collected a few porcelain couple figurines... but they've been packed away for the last 9 years. It was time to open the box and enjoy them again.

Valentine's Day Decor at All About Home #130
Hello friends and Welcome
to the All About Home Link Party!
February really came in with a wallop for so many of us, especially here in the Midwest. We had 5 days of rain, sleet, ice and snow, and I know many of you to the east of us had it even worse. My husband is retired as of last year, so we've been able to stay put and not risk being out in this stuff. We didn't have much ice accumulate so our area escaped the power outages this time. Hope you all are starting to thaw out and not letting bad weather get you down. We can actually see the streets and our driveway today!

Vintage Botanical Valentine Entry
I wanted to put together a romantic Valentine's Day vignette in the Entry, but I wanted to do something just a little different than my usual Valentine decor. Any time I can create a setting with a "vintage garden/botanical" theme I'm excited, because vintage-garden goods are some of my favorite items.
