Treasury Tuesday – New Growth

Tomorrow is the official first day of spring and you can already start to see changes! The trees outside my house are starting to bud and we've had a multitude of early bulb flowers appearing. 

This beautiful treasury is a tribute to that new growth and was curated by The Basic Elements. You can spot my vintage button bobby pins in the second row too! I really love the items in this group. I actually use crates like the one on the bottom row for my bathroom shelving and it is so cute!

The Sunday Snag - Don't Pinch Me!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!! Hope you all are wearing green! 

Here is my green for the holiday. This was a Christmas present from my sister and I love love love it! It is a lightweight dress from Ms. Tips and is early 1960's with an uber cute collar! Of course, the first time I wore it was out dancing and my own heel caught the hem and ripped it out. Lucky for me, the fabric itself was not torn, so I just hemmed it right back up again good as new! Whew! Talk about luck of the Irish!

Boyish Good Looks

Saturday Shop Talk – "By Any Other Name"

"By Any Other Name"

These hair pins were created using vintage buttons, two with stacked coral pink buttons and one with a fabric covered button. The rose design on the fabric button incorporates the coral and the pink, which I love as coral is one of my favorite colors to wear. What about you?? Not your favorite color in general, but what's your favorite color to wear?

Thursday Thrill – Tea Garden

1960's Spring Flower Cloche from My Drawing Number One

The days are coming where late mornings will be perfect. Perfect, that is, for tea. Tea outside. Tea in the garden of Spring. 

Handmade Leather Shoes by Daphne Board

Those days will be soft under foot, earth still springy, sponging from the sun.

Vintage Chevron Bib Dress from Salvage Life

Enough warmed light to kiss your shoulders and neck...

1940's Bow Brooch from Revolving Styles

and reflect a happy flicker from both brooch and eyes.

Bicycle Skirt Guard by Frill Ride

Ride to the garden park with gloved hands, but feet up, like the little girl who once giggled in a downhill descent.

Coffee Scrub Soap by Seventh Tree Soaps

But remember to wash up when you get to tea. We want hands as smooth and clean as the newly opened crocus who raises her hands to mother sun for her morning inspection.

Vintage Colclough Tea Set from Nancy's Tea Shop

Now we're ready. Ready for tea. Tea among flowers and birds and bees.

Mint Polk Dot Peplum Skirt by Ginny & Jude Designs

But do let us have a quick glance about while the leaves steep into deep amber...

Pale pinks, yellows, and whites sprinkle the view as the first of the dogwoods have opened their eyes. 

Market Spice Cookies by Breadline Cafe

Though wafting hints of golden spiced tea and crumbly cookies remind us to hurry back to table. Comfortably seated, nibbling goodies and sipping tea, there is no better place to quietly watch for more blooms to wake and hear the local birds sound their daily news.
