Hope you had a great St. Patrick's Day, friends. Starting this week we're now on the slide down to Easter. I've been posting Easter décor for the last few weeks since Easter is in March this year and I'm a little behind on sharing what normally would be until well into April. St. Paddy's Day was cut short this year, unfortunately because I really enjoy it.

SomeBunny Loves You in the Holiday Cupboard
Back in February my husband decided he was going to combine 2 storage units into 1 larger one, so of course he found a few boxes he thought I might want to go through. Clothes, shoes, pantry items, (eeeck) but two were marked "Easter", so of course I told him to bring them home for me to look through.

Hop Into Easter in the Cookbook Cupboard
Last week I shared a new pair of moss bunnies on the sideboard. So today the sideboard's furniture buddy, the cookbook cupboard, is getting a little Easter/Spring decorating. I really never have much of a plan, but gather odds and ends together for a little seasonal display on top. The "Cookbook Cupboard" got it's name from the messy bottom shelf and cookie jars that I've had for awhile.

Moss Bunnies on the Spring Sideboard
Hi friends, Happy March; I hope you've been having a great week. It's been a little hectic this last few weeks for me. My husband decided to combine two storage units, so I've been trying to sort thru some boxes. (enough said) Good news is that I've found a few things I thought were lost, so yay for that.

Out and About at the Vintage Market
Hi Friends, today I'm taking you with me to my fave vintage market
in the area for a late spring /early summer visit.
You all know I definitely have a soft spot for wheelbarrows, carts, and wagons, etc. Anything with wheels and preferable could fit on top of a table or cabinet for display... So here's a wonderful vintage piece from my friends Sara and Abby at Sweet Magnolia's Farm here at The Vintage Peddler in Springfield. It's my go-to vintage market for a quick get-away that gives me a much needed boost of inspiration and fun seasonal ideas.

Flowers in Bloom at All About Home #195
Hi Friends, Welcome to the All About Home Link Party! We are so happy you come by to visit and share all the fun you've been up to lately. I hope everyone is having lovely spring weather with some time for flower planting and potting. I got my containers planted a bit earlier this season, because of a big sale at our neighborhood store. Unfortunately the deer found them and made a meal of them. After a move closer to the backporch, thankfully they are rebounding a bit, so I think they have a chance to recover.

Cottage Review: Garden Wheelbarrow Tablescape
Hi Friends, with Mother's Day coming up next weekend, I know many of you will be hosting a Mother's Day brunch or luncheon. I was looking through some older magazines and came upon my inspiration for this post and thought how fun this would be to create the magazine inspiration below and surprise all the moms at your table.
This original post was from about 10 years and two houses ago. It's just as much fun today and if you don't have a wheelbarrow, no problem. A basket, crate or doughbowl would be just as perfect for a garden display tablescape.

Vintage Baskets in the Entry
Last week in honor of May Day and Mother's Day, I put together two little baskets, one vintage, the other basket new but with similar elements. I was inspired by the old tradition of May Day where you would put together a small bouquet and hang it on the front porch door. Then you would hide and wait for the lady of the house to come to the door. Such a sweet gesture, but maybe not too practical in today's time and culture.

Spring Pastels at All About Home #194
Hey Friends, can you EVEN believe it's May? Before you know it it will be summer! We're in the middle of tree pollen season and this few weeks is long stringy mounds that roll like tumbleweed through the yard. I have sneezing fits just watering the plants. We had our first "babysitting gig" Saturday night with our little sweetie. I have a magic rocking chair that helps ease the sting of mommy and daddy leaving for a night out. Just a few tears and lip trembling, but she's such a good baby! Ahh, the pure joy of holding her in my arms for two hours.

Weekend Cottage Review #1
Hey there friends, I thought I'd try having a weekly post where I share some fun things from around the Internet and also share some thoughts and ideas that are more personal. I've done this before, but when things in life became crazy or I was too busy with blogging commitments I'd slack off and lose momentum. But I've realized there are so many times when I'd like to share just a small idea or image or some random thought, but I had no place to really do that. My brain fills up with bits and pieces and I'd like to have a dedicated space to share them.

All About Home Link Party #193
Amber from
Follow the Yellow Brick Home and I are so excited to be co-hosting this fun link party, that celebrates
"All Things Home". We love to see what
You are up to each week, so please join in
with your decor, seasonal fun, gardens, DIYs, recipes and more. We each pick
and share features each week, so be sure and visit both of us to check out the
weekly highlights.
Last week I shared a unique take on a mossy springtime wreath that I put
together 2 years ago. It still remains one of my favorite spring wreaths I've
put together. I've used it mostly in the Entry area on the console from early
spring to early summer.
And earlier in the week I shared my vintage display spot in the kitchen/hearth
room area with a fun garden-y vignette on the Cookbook Cupboard.
Be sure and check out Amber's
You'll love these beautiful DIY and Spring posts. Two front porches for
Spring, with a super fun paint and stenciled rug to bring a small porch area
some zip and zing. A look at above the cabinets as a great spot to display
vintage collections and a delicious red velvet brownie, yummy for any time
of year.
Fresh and gorgeous; huge colorful cabbage with spring branches.

I LOVE this vibrant pumpkiny color and the white contrast of the porch.

I spy my own vintage collection of mixing bowls that my great grandmother
used every day!

Nature's Wild Victorian Springtime Wreath
Hi Friends, today I'm sharing a wonderful wreath that's a bit of a different take on a natural look for Spring. This is the perfect time of year to look to nature and the outdoors for our decor inspiration. What we might see in a leisurely country walk; bird nests, vines, wildflowers, and moss all come together here with an antique wooden frame for a wild and beautiful Victorian look.

Cupboard Top Spring Garden Vignette
Hi Friends, it's hard for me to believe, but I haven't shared the cookbook cupboard (in real time) since last late summer. It has been seasonally decorated, but somehow didn't make it to the blog. Since I love decorating with a garden theme for spring I wanted to make sure that I share the latest on the cupboard top.

Spring Fresh at All About Home #192
Hi Everyone, thanks so much for coming by. Hope you're having good weather wherever you are. It's crazy here with days at 80, then the next day in the 50s. It's still a little soon to buy my ferns for the porches or think about flower containers, and we're all dealing with tree pollen and debris which floats around till June. I love my back porch, but it can become a trap for all the yard mess.

Spring Pastels in the Garden Room Sitting Area
Hey there friends, Since it's mid-April, and even though Easter was last week, I'm still keeping a bit of an Easter Vibe in my Garden Room sitting area. Pastels and a few leftover bunnies and rabbits are still hanging around. Soon birds and nests will take over the decor, but right now, the lighter and pastel colors of early spring are on display.

Spring Baker's Rack in the Garden Room
I have a hard time packing up all the bunnies once Easter is over. (How about you?) Because well... Spring is definitely rabbit season, and there's just a lot of fun still left in having a bunny fluffle hanging around the spring garden room.

Spring in Bloom at All About Home #191
Hi Everyone, thanks so much for coming by. We hope you had a wonderful Easter Weekend! And now it's time to move deeper into Spring and look toward all the fun of Summer. Time for all the birds, nests and outdoor porch and patio ideas to show up. I know I need some serious inspiration.

Favorite Antique Furniture: Sideboard Dressed for Spring
Do you have a piece of family furniture that you dearly love and wouldn't part with, but just doesn't fit in your décor aesthetic? A piece you can see the potential, but in it's current state ends up in storage or hidden away in some "off the beaten path" spot? Well, here's my story of a lovely piece of antique furniture that had been relegated to the basement for years.
