Happy spring, and welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I am thrilled to celebrate my fourth 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!

If you would like to make some new friends,  grow your blog audience, or just find some weekly inspiration, this is the place to be! *Bloggers: Please leave a comment with the number of your link up for a chance to be featured at next week’s party. The hosts are all looking forward to what you’ll share this week! (If you missed the last party and the AWESOME features, you’ll find it here.)  To get the party started, here’s what I have 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.

Now it’s time for some beautiful features from last week’s party!
