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!

Vintage Cottage Easter Highlights
On Saturday I shared a round up of my favorite vintage Easter post from Vintage Cottage Weekends. If you aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to all things Easter, be sure to take a look.
Despite the chilly and wet weather, I have found time to play around in my garden, planting up a few urns with pansies and other spring annuals. I definitely have all things garden on my mind right now!

Want to attract new butterflies and other beneficial pollinators to your garden? It’s easy with the right plants and a little patience!
Hello nature lovers! Today I am taking little break from a week of building a pollinator garden to share a bit about how the fruits of my labor are already starting to pay off! Over the past week the butterflies have been visiting all the new plants in droves, as well as hanging out around their favorite large butterfly bush at the entrance to our backyard cottage garden.
