We have had more that our share of cold weather this winter. Hot, mild and cold, you name it we've had it. With so much cold weather and Covid we have been staying close to home. 

Miss Courtney was a great helper during the holidays

A great way to stash stockings 

to be hung on Christmas Eve

This large tote is wonderful for helping to carry an armful of plates

And holding pillows and wraps

Snow Days

Finally, wonderful spring like days to enjoy a drive to Trader Joe's 

Almost 80 degrees and I am so ready for spring. A trip to the garden center is in order!

Spring flowers, enjoy...

  

It was a fun afternoon with flowers but even if it's hot here it is early for planting. We will certainly have more cold weather. We have been know to have snow in March and early April. 

So what came home with me? 

Daffodils are my favorite!

Daffs to enjoy inside and will be transplanted in the garden beds later

WILLOW CELEBRATES VALENTINE'S DAY

Willow...

Meet Willow, she arrived this past Friday in a very tall box, a Valentine gift from my sister. Willow is a tall moss filled rabbit wearing a skirt of English ivy. She carries a moss basket. Today she is celebrating Valentine's Day and her basket is filled with dried pink roses she picked up along the path in the woods. 

Willow makes a lovely and romantic centerpiece for a Valentine's Day table in the study

Willow is darling with her skirt of ivy and red velvet ribbon is her favorite for Valentines's day. 

For the Tablescape

The day is cold with a soft snow falling. The moss path through the woods is covered with a light dusting of snow while Willow is covered from head to toe with snowflakes!

 Willow is enjoying being the center of attention for Valentine's Day. I think she is already looking forward to Easter and Spring. After all, her ivy skirt goes with everything!

I hope you will leave a comment, it's the only way I know you dropped by. 

Happy Valentine's Day
