Welcome Spring

Hey my friends!
Spring has shown up here in Louisiana.
Although it's cooler now than last week, blooms are sprouting everywhere.
I brought some flowering branches in from our Bradford Pear trees.



I know you've seen this little corner of my kitchen many times,
but I like to change it out often with the seasons.


Adding a little pop of crystal blue in the windowsill.


I found the little bird garden apron at Hobby Lobby.


This little vase came from Laurie Anna's in Canton.
Her shoppe was unbelievable this month, pretty much breathtaking!


Fresh cut baby's breath for the vase and galvanized water boxes.



Bringing some spring time inside makes a room feel happy :)


Check out all the beautifully refreshed rooms over there :)



I'm still planning to show you my herb garden and 
a little update to our master bathroom- coming soon :)
Have a marvelous Monday!
Blessings
Becky C

  2. Your photos are beautiful Becky. I know what you mean about changing out certain spaces frequently - it makes everything seem new and fresh again. Spring hasn't quite arrived here in Ohio yet although the sun did pop out a little today. Your blog always inspires me to get busy around my house!

  11. SO springy and enticing! I love all your spring touches, and especially wish I could have some flowered branches, too. We still have snow on the ground, but it's finally melting.
    Happy spring!

  30. Our Bradford Pears are blooming all over the place too. I have never cut branches and brought them inside, do they last? I also love the apron, I bought the bag. I wanted to make it to Laurie Anns in Canton for the sale but just couldn't get away. Maybe next time!

  31. You just reminded me how much I love Bradford Pears!

    Happy Spring!

  32. Becky, always enjoy dropping by. But, the Bradford Pear Tree Blossoms are beautiful. I talked to my mother in LA (south of S'port) this morning and she said her's were really in full bloom. Hoping they will still be by Friday. I'm going home to visit. :)) Laurie Anns must be a really neat place.

  43. So very pretty! I love all your updates to the kitchen. Such a happy, fresh look you have given it. I have to say, I'm a green with envy since your spring has arrived. I still have to wait at lease a month before I'll be sure all the snow is gone! So sad!
