We have been doing a little celebrating in our home the last week or two. With the return of spring, lots of sun, and warmer than normal temperatures, there is a lot to celebrate.
I cannot remember a time when I have raked leaves and tidied up the gardens in March. Things in our yard and gardens are looking pretty good. I am not crazy enough to do any planting yet, that won’t happen until mid May, but it feels good to be a little bit ahead. I did hit the garden shop to pick up some spring colour in the form of pansies. They can handle the frost, if we get one, which I can pretty much say we will, and they give us a little bit of colour and joy when we step outside.
We have also switched up our nature table, moving from winter to spring. It was a ton of fun and Reece had a blast adding his own little touches. He loves his little robin and checks in every morning to see how she is.

And we also created a lovely fabric bunting to adorn our front porch in a whimsical kind of way. The idea came from my lovely sponsor So Fawned. She recently did a post over at Child Mode on a simple scrap fabric bunting for her daughter’s room. As soon as I saw it I knew we would be making one here.

How are you celebrating the return of spring?
Love the strips of fabric waving in the wind-so so pretty. I have yet to buy any pansies. I was thinking of dragging my husband around and maybe picking up some this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it really does look lovely waving in the wind. The pansies are bringing some much needed colour to our ourdoor area at the moment.
DeleteOMG!! I am in love with your house!! And that bunting on the front porch is so perfect! Welcome Spring!

DeleteLovely bunting, I may have to borrow that for our trees. We are celebrating this unseasonably warm weather with lots of bike riding, sandbox playing and hikes in snow wearing sandals!!

DeleteI really like the simplicity of your nature table! And of course your house is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI like simple, although right now the nature table is overflowing with love, Reece has been bringing something in at least once a day to add to it :)
DeleteYour flowers make me smile. What a lovely little burst of color.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are :)
DeleteLove your nature table! Oh how I wish I had not clicked on the link to that Etsy shop! I want one of everything in there (especially Lady Spring)! She would be the perfect addition to our nature table!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe how warm it is right now! We are loving it and basking in the glory of full days spent out of doors in March!
Thanks Shel. I know what you mean, that Etsy shop has many wonderful things, I will be ordering from her again one day.
DeleteI know, I still think I am dreaming some days, the weather has been so wonderful, we are loving it!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by Kim, so glad you like my space. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Deletethe scrap bunting looks beautiful hanging from your porch! it adds a sparkle to your home :) i made a fabric bunting for our front porch for the winter holidays, and this has inspired me to do one similiar for spring that my boys can help me with.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, we are really enjoying it. I can definitely see this becoming a seasonal thing to, creating new bunting banners for each season. Looking forward to seeing your spring bunting.
