Spring Sentiments

A few weeks ago I was feeling sort of "homesick". I guess it's more of a feeling of uncertainty in not knowing when we'll be in a permanent home, and some missing my ability to play with my decor. Living in a small house without all my "stuff" at my fingertips has me a little hampered in changing things up, and I'm certainly a person who likes to keep my surroundings changed up and "fresh".




So what do I do when I'm feeling a little lacking in inspiration and creativity? Besides checking all of you out, I like to look back through my photo gallery and blog posts to see what was going on last year or the year before. You guessed it, I was decorating for Easter and dreaming of Spring out on the sunporch.


My favorite place to "change things up" was the sunporch.



First time forcing hyacinths.






Just bought this wonderful print.




Decorating the Holiday Cupboard






Freshening up the Entry










Spring Open House









And having a visit at Robin's Vintage Suitcase.

bunnies and tulips...looks like Spring!


oh, I just LOVE this wonderful old ladder.

shhhh...I found an old ladder in the basement clean up.
I see it painted white in the future.
(don't tell my hubby)




Thanks for letting me reminisce a little. I've been packing all my treasures, and it's a little hard knowing that they are going in a box and I don't know when I'll see them again. Some of the furniture has been sold, and knowing that Spring is around the corner I'm just wondering where I'll be come Summer, then Fall. I'm trying not to come off whiney. Just enjoying looking back and drinking up the sweet pics of preparing for Spring.

 Have a wonderful Sunday...
be blessed sweet friends.

Be Inspired #180

Hi Everyone and Welcome to Be Inspired!

I know everyone is excited to see some warmer weather coming in. Outdoor planting and projects still may be a little ways out, but we can have fun bringing in a Breath of Fresh Spring Air with our tables, mantels and vignettes. There were so many wonderful Spring inspired posts last week; here are a few to definitely get you out of the winter frame of mind.
