Hello friends! Are you ready for some spring inspiration? I sure am! It’s been a very stressful 10 days here due to a massive snow and ice storm which resulted in loss of electricity for over a week, so I am thrilled that things have gotten back to normal just in time for another fun Pinterest Challenge hosted by my awesome friend Cindy of County Road 407!

Hello and welcome to the 80th All About Home Link Party! I am going to be brief with my party introduction because we have only had power for a little over 24 hours, and different areas in our region have still been losing power off and on due to falling branches so it could happen here too! I will get caught up with sharing all about the ice storm with you sometime next week. Now let’s be inspired by calmer, safer and happier things that are all about home!

Vintage natured inspired vignette with vintage bird pictures, vintage books, evergreens, pinecones, and moss hearts in a vintage wire heart basket

Well the groundhog may have seen his shadow resulting in the ever-dreaded prediction of six more weeks of winter, but robins and various other birds in our neighborhood are singing sweet songs of spring! All weekend long I have sat in my recliner taking it easy (chronic illness is for the birds, no pun intended…) but the hundreds of birds flying back and forth from our home to the forest across the street put a bit of “spring” in my step this afternoon!

Welcome to my blog! I love making every day beautiful in "My Old Kentucky Home," a 1921 yellow brick charmer in the (re)making. I truly enjoy sharing my creative ideas with others and I hope you will be inspired here. I am a music teacher and licensed KY Realtor with a passion for old homes, decorating, collecting antiques, gardening, and creating lovely things! I have a natural flair for designing cozy spaces with vintage style on a budget, and I love junkin' for unique objects to use in my cottage-style decor and garden. Look for my "Style Tips" in posts on decorating, home improvement, DIY and craft tutorials, gardening, holidays and entertaining. You can also find Christian encouragement, healthy recipes, and ideas for cleaning and organizing. There is always something going on around here!
