Hello Sun!

We finally saw some sunshine yesterday and it was so wonderful!

There is still a lot of moisture in the air so it was very humid and sticky, but it was glorious nonetheless.

Decorating with Pitchers

There are some things in this world that just don’t make a lot of sense.

My affinity for pitchers is one of them.

I should correct myself and say that to me, my love for them makes perfect sense.  They’re cute and functional.  And they’re cute.  (I know I repeated myself, but it’s worth repeating.)  Beyond that, I’m not really sure why they make my heart go pitter-pat.  They just do.

I don’t really discriminate, I like them in colors or just plain white.  I also like glass pitchers.  They can be old or new.  It really doesn’t matter.  When I see a cute one, I would like to bring it home to live with me.  And, trust me, I’ve left more pitchers at the store than I have purchased simply because there is only so much room.  And money.  

Some people think pitchers are just for holding drinks, but I think they can be so much more.  I have my small collection scattered about my house and I use them in many ways.

A Little Grace

Happy Belated Mother’s Day to all you moms! I hope you had a wonderful day.

I spent the day resting and relaxing — it was just what I needed. My sweet daughter served me breakfast and gave me a book and a poem she made just for me.

10-Minute Spring Craft {Daffodils in a Tea Cup}

If there is one thing I love about spring it is seeing all of the flowers pop up and bloom.  Of course, most of the country won’t be seeing any real flowers in their yards for several weeks but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some spring indoors!

As you know, I love quick and easy crafts and this one is about as quick and easy as they come.  It’s my 10-minute spring daffodils in a tea cup craft and it cost next to nothing.

This & That {Birthdays, Flowers, My Front Door and an App}

I’m breathing a bit of a sigh of relief today.  

Last week was so busy and crazy I hardly knew if I was coming or going.

My youngest turned 10 which meant lots of special treatment and therefore, a lot to do!

Her birthday fell on a school day so we took her to her favorite restaurant for dinner that evening.  Then, on Friday night she had a birthday party at home with 7 of her closest girlfriends. (more…)
