for our family, the hunting and gathering of hidden treasures, sweet finds, treats and grazing on home cooked food marks the easter holiday. and the easter bunny legend continues... enjoy your traditions and have a quietly quaint week.

we have spent the passed several weekends just focused on household projects. although it feels great to have projects completed, there is still much to be done but i am thinking this weekend should be all about play. wishing you a playful weekend.

there's something soft and pretty about a pastel palette and a bit of shine or glimmer. it's a light and airy lift to a look or a space. a pastel inspired piece shown below will someday be most likely a wall hanging available in my shop. oh so many works in progress laying everywhere in my house right now.

happy spring.

every spring i look forward to the beautiful but fleeting magnolia soulangiana blooms (saucer magnolia). this year the gorgeous blossom color has been getting lots of attention as pantone's color of the year so it is easy to find ways to include the color around the house or garden. happy weekend to you.
