Easter to Spring Hearth Room Mantel

Last Christmas I found a wonderful framed grainsack with a French sheep motif, and I fell in love. I knew it would be a piece I could use throughout the year, especially Christmas and Easter. As it goes, I've left it up on the mantel throughout the winter and just transitioned my mantel with changeups using topiaries, lanterns and evergreen branches.

Hello Spring at All About Home #188

Hey Everyone! Wow, it's been reaaaaaallllly cold this last week! I mean in the mid-teens overnight and feels more like January than March. Hopefully this coming week is going to be warmer, so we can ditch these horrible night time temps. My massive Tulip tree that covers most of the drive has been decimated this season right as all the amazing pink/lavender blooms were opening. My robins are back in town and they are shivering in their little booties. At this point I'm ready for April and Easter to show up. 

An Easter Brunch Buffet and Cloche Inspiration

Hi there friends, today I'm sharing a chunk of Easter inspiration, because Easter will be here in just a few short weeks. I've been blogging for about 14 years and have a few Spring and Easter posts in the archive that I hope are still current and relevant. I was concentrating on ideas for Easter cloches, so I thought I'd share this one specifically, because it contains 3 versions of an Easter cloche.

Green and Pink and Cottage All Over

Hey Everyone, Green is my favorite color this time of year. Not only outside, but inside. We're having a small "green-up" around here with grass and a few blooming trees, but my tulip tree's blooms were frozen this last few days which is really disheartening. It's still too early for much other green outdoors, but inside I can gather some of my green items and make myself feel like Spring is just around the corner... with no overnight freezes.
