Lovely Spring Things

via
My snowdrops are up but the grape hyacinths haven't popped yet. I don't think I've ever seen a blue and white platter with this spring bulb in the pattern. It looks hand painted rather than transferware. 

Today's Plan

via
I've had my morning coffee, it's raining, and I am not planning on leaving the house today. That's my plan and I hope it works.

Confused Chicken

Almost Time to Move Outside

via
All yellow things are getting ready to pop. I love the industrial doors on either side of the dining room. Do they make thermopane versions for the northeast? I would love a couple to replace my french doors.

Easter Blessings


Have a ducky day.

Remembering my dear Mother shown here on Easter Sunday, 2012. She's one of the angels now and I miss her every day but she continues to live in my heart. I found this photo when I was scrolling through some of my old Easter posts here.

Needle Felted Easter Rabbit

I think this needle felted Easter rabbit is so beautiful. Isn't his coat simply fabulous? Created by Di Summit. Wishing a Happy Easter to one and all.

Nice Entrance Hall

via
I like the black hardware against the bright white paint on the doors. The trim work is beautiful and I like the plank ceiling with the acorn pendants.

You don't need any instructions either. This Easter breakfast looks delicious and easy.
Have a very Happy Easter. xo

Great Window with A Nice View

via
I opened some of my windows today to let in some fresh air. It was so nice, though a bit chilly. I like the way these windows open without a crank. This way makes so much more sense. No crank to get stripped. The gardens and garden house look beautiful. xo

Such A Lovely Bedroom

via
This room is perfect. The architectural elements are beautiful and the room doesn't need much decoration. These choices are just wonderful. Love it all!!! Don't you love a pile of good magazines just waiting to be read? xo

Wonderful Cottage with A Green Roof

via
Oh, I love this, don't you? I've never seen a pastel green roof but I love it. It's a perfect topper for this cottage. It has everything: great windows with architectural detailing, window boxes, wisteria, a box-bay window, beautiful landscaping and more. What a great place for an Easter egg hunt. Swoon.

I Understand This All Too Well

Attic Balcony Lookout

via
This is too good to be true, isn't it? Can you imagine having your morning coffee there? I woke up to more snow this morning and that's not an April Fool joke. It is just a dusting that covered the grass but not the walkway. Today is Webster's 13th birthday and I'm going to make him some special treats later. He had brown rice on his kibble so he's happy. xo

Yes, please. This is so lovely and inviting with all the lights on. You know that's one of my favorite things. This has to be as perfect inside as it is on the outside. LOVE.

Cottage at Road's End

What a beautiful building site. Don't you love this cottage by the sea? 

Easter Bunny Getting Ready

He's powering up for Sunday.

Mansion in England with a Moat

An original photo via
Moated Tudor Mansion, Baddesley Clinton, England.
I guess there must be a draw bridge somewhere. I don't like water anywhere near my house, so I'll have to pass on this one. 

Prince Phillip Playing with Young Prince Charles and Princess Anne

via
This is animated gif is so fabulous. A young Prince Phillip is riding tricycles with Princess Anne while Prince Charles follows on a pedal tractor with a plow on the front. Great royal family fun!

Green Kitchen

via
This is a wonderful kitchen and I really like this color. The green really sets off the wonderful collection of copper cookware. The two black farm sinks and the black countertops carry out the dark theme. The only white is the ceramic knobs and the dishes, not counting the flour and sugar.

First Leap

Follow the leader! So cute. via

Beautiful Rocking Chair Porch

via
I love the brickwork on the house and the porch floor. There's nothing like a front porch without the upkeep of painted wooden boards. The sky blue ceiling is nice and would be cheerful, even on a rainy day. Enjoy your Sunday. xo

Perfect Easter Gift Wrap

Wonder what's inside? I think it's probably a book, the perfect gift for any occasion. Don't you love the rabbit paper? via
