Hello and welcome to the 142nd All About Home Link Party! I am super excited for the party this evening, as my mind turns from the long school year to summer ahead and concentrating on the joys of things that are “all about home” and the blog! I am especially into gardening season already and find it hard to leave home each morning. Still, there’s 19 busy days of school left with lots of exciting end of the year choir events that are fun but stressful. I am happy to take the time to slow down and catch up with all of you here at the party and to see all the new inspiration!

Debra and I love getting together each week to host this fun party, and we are looking forward to sharing inspiration with you! Before moving on to the features, here’s what we’ve been up to:

I have been working on my cottage garden and container garden area just outside our back mudroom entry. I am loving how it is coming along. It’s bittersweet as this is the last week for all the tulips that have been glorious, but I already am looking forward to the garden changes ahead. I will share more about this area in an upcoming post.

On Sunday for the Vintage Cottage Weekend series I shared a round up of some of my own Thrifty DIY Garden Inspired Craft Ideas. All of these crafts can be made with items found at thrift shops or various dollar stores.

Debra shared her gorgeous Spring Themed Prints in the Hearth Room.

Now it’s time to check out some gorgeous features from last week’s party!
