Happy spring, and welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I am thrilled to celebrate my eighth year co-hosting this fabulous weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers with Katherine of Katherine’s Corner and a fantastic group of bloggers!
Happy first weekend of December! Are you busy decorating or are you already finished? I am still in the process of decorating and I have been busy working on creating a classic, cozy Christmas cottage which includes my signature vintage-traditional Christmas style. It is a mix of all kinds of vintage Christmas from various eras, and this year’s hottest two “trends” which are the Ralph Lauren Christmas trend and Little Women Christmas. While they may be trending, both of these are timeless, and I have always incorporated elements of these styles in my holiday decorating.
January is coming to a close, but winter weather continues to affect most of us and more storms are on the way! I have decided to embrace winter decor inside, especially with such beautiful views of snow outside. Today I am sharing a little bit of our winter kitchen with my favorite French Farmhouse basket tray styled with witner and cottage garden elements. I am so happy to be joining my friend Debra of Common Ground for another post in our Vintage Cottage Weekend Series! You will find a link to Debra’s winter decor at the end of this post.
Happy winter friends! Yes, winter can be happy when you appreciate the opportunities for slowing down, reflecting on the year ahead and endulging in all things cozy and comforting! I have been nesting around the house during all the snow days we had, and I am particularly loving the winter vibes in our dining room. Today I am excited to be sharing the dining room as part of a Vintage Cottage Weekend with my friend Debra of Common Ground! This post contains affiliate links.
After the beauty and excitement of the holidays with festive colors and twinkling lights I like to continue to keep our home looking cozy and magical for winter using greenery and garlands. Today I am excited to share a preview of our nearly finished sunroom and how I am cozied it up for the winter with a beautiful pre-lit Dandan Pine Garland from Seasonal LLC. *I received this garland for review from Seasonal LLC. All opinons are my own.

Spring is here and it’s time to get gardening! If you are feeling overwhelmed with where to begin, here are three practical ways to make your garden nicer.
Wildlife habitats are being destroyed at an unbelievably fast rate. That’s especially true for pollinators and other small creatures. If you want your garden to give back to the planet a bit, then it’s worth keeping this wildlife in mind when you’re doing things up. It shouldn’t even need much effort.
Bees, butterflies, and birds are some of the more notable wildlife creatures to consider. By putting in plants and flowers these creatures will like, you’ll have a direct impact on their habitats. If you’re unsure which plants or trees are best suited for your space, a tree care company can help you make the right choices.
You’ll make your garden a nicer place for them, making it even nicer for you in return.
Annuals are flowers that bloom year-round, making them some of the better options when it comes to trying to make your garden nicer all year. They’ll give you instant gratification, and you wouldn’t need to wait a while for them to bloom into themselves. They should make your garden nicer before you know it.
They’ll need a little bit of maintenance after they’ve been planted, however. Most of the time, this just means deadheading them, and you’ll have nothing to worry about. Once you’ve put the effort into that, you wouldn’t have to worry about them seeding and taking over your garden.
Sometimes, a bit of stonework can add quite a bit to a garden. It enhances the rest of the garden while working well within it. There are even more than a few stone features you can add to your garden relatively easily. Decorative ones are especially easy.
It could even be worth putting a little extra time and effort into it. Hiring some paver installers could give your garden a completely new look. You’ll get high-quality work done that works well with the rest of your garden. There’s almost no reason not to consider it.
If you want to make your garden nicer, you might think you’d have to give it a complete overhaul. That doesn’t always have to be the case. Instead, it could just be a matter of using a few practical strategies, and you’re good to go.
Some strategies will help a lot more than others, and you’ll see a difference almost immediately. Others will take a little more time before you see the results. Despite that, it can still be worth putting a little time and effort into them.
As a homeowner, you will almost always have a long list of home improvement projects in mind. In reality, many of the cosmetic upgrades can be left until you have the time and funds available to complete them in comfort. However, some issues demand immediate attention.
If you are faced with any of the following projects, it’s imperative that you act right away.
