Hello Spring

Friday, March 20, 2015

Hello Spring...where are you?! 

 It's the first day of Spring and Mother Nature is laughing at us here in the Philly burbs with one last snow storm...



But snow won't stop me from creating bright and colorful Spring inspiration and enjoying a free Rita's water ice! 


{It looks off-white on screen but trust me, it will print with a white background!} 

How is the first day of Spring going for you?! 

Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend! 



Hello March!

Sunday, March 1, 2015

I'm pretty excited about it being March, shall I name all of the reasons why I love it so much?! 

1. It's my birthday month, along with my older sister's. 

We were born two years and one day apart! Yep, I was that kid sharing a birthday party with a sibling. Though I'm sure she disliked it more since she was the older one who had two years of celebrating alone! HAHA! I actually love sharing it with her.

Creative Ways to Decorate for Spring

Tuesday, March 25, 2014

It seems that Mother Nature is confused because we are supposed to get a few inches of snow today, but I'm pushing forward and still on the look for creative ways to decorate for Spring! I don't have many decorations for this time of year, heck I don't even have a Spring wreath! Plus, the only decor I have around the house doesn't really shout, "It's Springtime"; a few plants, my cherished teddies, owls (of course!), and a huge smiling rustic sun that I hang outside to greet our guests isn't going to cut it! I want get more creative and really brighten things up after the long winter we've experienced this year. Here are a few ideas I discovered by searching Pinterest that I'm obsessing over...

Is it too late to make my own Spring wreath? If not, then here are a few wreath ideas I'm inspired by...


1/ 2 / 3 / 4

So, I showed this garden hose wreath from Create. Craft. Love to the hubby and he wasn't seeing the same unique and quirky Spring wreath idea I was seeing! What do you think? Is it too out of the box or is it just right? 

I love the fabric flower wreath from Digital Designs Scrapbooking with the little blue wooden bird and picture frame, it's cheerful and perfect for Spring and Summer. Do you think it has too much going on, or would you leave it just as is?

I have seen these fabric ball wreaths trending during the winter holiday season, but haven't really seen too many for Spring and Summer until I stumbled upon this one from The Love Nerds. This color combination is one of my favorites, it was actually our wedding colors and they have since been my favorite colors for Spring. 

How can you not love this amazing succulent wreath from Garden Therapy, am I right? It looks like a lot of time was put into creating this beauty. I had a succulent plant my mom purchased one year at the Philadelphia Flower Show, but sadly it didn't last. Any tips on taking care of succulents?! 

From wreaths to planters, there are just so many creative ways to decorate for Spring...


1/ 2 / 3

It's really amazing what a little spray paint, a few stencils, and rope can do to change the look of a boring planter! 

This southwest painted tiered planter DIY is from last year, but arrows are still trending so you can't go wrong with going the southern route with this idea from East Coast Creative. 

I recently wrote a post for AWS about DIY rope decor ideas, still waiting for it to go live and will update you with that link! But, who knew rope could be so much fun and bring new life to a simple planter?! I love that blogger April from House by Hoff  painted her rope to give it even more character.

If you are looking for a pop of color and you are obsessed with pink or bright neon colors, then this last idea from The Proper Pinwheel is just for you! Grab your favorite can of spray paint and get creative! 

Sometimes a table runner is all you need to bring new life to a boring tablescape....

1/ 2

I had a really cute table runner for the holiday season, but currently my table only has a single plant sitting on it...not very creative! 

This first table runner was created using paint stinks....the ideas people come up with are just mind blowing! I love the herringbone pattern that was created, by Amanda over on Ruffled it gives it more of a creative design element then just gluing them side by side for the table runner. 

How adorable is this paper pinwheel table runner from Green Wedding Shoes? I'm not sure how long it would last in a household full of children, but if you are looking for a table runner for the Spring holidays that would really impress your guests, this would be a great one! 

So, there you have it a few of my favorite creative ways to decorate for Spring...now let's go execute them! 

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day! 

PS.... have you checked out my blog Facebook page yet?! I'm running a fun giveaway when I hit 100 likes, co-hosting with my friend Katie over at Busy Bee Kate, give her a sweet hello! 








Dreaming of Spring!

Friday, February 25, 2011

Now that I posted that lovely Paris photo with the wonderful garden of Tulips that's all I've been thinking of! I haven't really been much of a garden person since high school, I was actually in the horticulture program and was part of the Philadelphia Flower Show with our school. You would think I would have more plants and flowers in front of our house! I really enjoyed it in high school, it's always nice being in classes where you're doing more than just sitting in a desk listening to the teacher talk.

OK...so I just went to the Philadelphia Flower Show website to get the link for you and the theme this year..."Springtime in Paris"...REALLY!! That's amazing, so does this mean I should really make sure we go to the Flower Show this year or should I be in Paris in the Springtime! The show is March 6-13 at the Philadelphia Convention Center....be there!

Girls’ Night Out at the Philadelphia Flower Show:

Thursday, March 10th
5:30 to 8:30 pm – shopping, food and wine sampling, beauty tips and free goodie bag plus live broadcast of QVC.
$40 Sponsored by RuePhiladelphia (Rue La La), and Philadelphia Style magazine

We went a few years ago when it was a New Orleans theme, best time ever! There was a New Orleans style band there that was amazing. And oh yes the flowers were gorgeous!

A Few Photos from that year....



Inspiration...

Monday, February 21, 2011

Thank you so much for all of the love ladies. Still have a little bit of the sniffles but Im getting better. It was so nice here in the Northeast on Friday...70 degrees! My step daughters and I actually got to go for a nice walk in the park. But now they're calling for ice and snow again...can you believe it! So maybe we'll think of Spring and find inspiration for our weddings in flowers, romance, and bursts of color to get away from the winter blues! I just love this photo of the eiffel tower, it makes me dream of Paris in the Springtime...how lovely would that be!


Is there a city, beach, or town you just adore and would love to inspire your wedding details after? I really love New York City and the history in downtown Philadelphia. We were thinking of having soft pretzels at our wedding and actually picking them up on the day of...but it was just too much to bother with!

Find more city inspiration over at my wedding blog Wedding.Allwomenstalk...love the Paris and New York City inspiration board I put together from the Style Circle at StyleMePretty!



I Spy Something Yellow...

Tuesday, February 17, 2009



Inspired by my good friend ,I am sharing my yellow in hopes that Spring will soon be here! These beautiful flowers are from last year's Flower Show. I shall have this year's Flower Show pictures up next month after we go! Do you have any pictures of all things yellow? Maybe a yellow submarine perhaps?
