Happy May, and welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I am so excited to be co-hosting this fabulous party with Katherine of Katherine’s Corner and a fantastic group of bloggers for this inspiring weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers!

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 recently:

Easy and Stylish Spring-t0-Summer Decor Refresh with Birch Lane

This past weekend I shared how I have refreshed our living room and dining room from Spring-to-Summer with Birch Lane. I am just loving all the colorful changes around here!

I only have two more days of school left until summer break, but I am still as busy as a bee preparing my senior choir members for singing at graduation and the baccalaureate ceremony (the did a beautiful job!) I did manage to stop and take the time this week to smell (and snip) some herbs and to enjoy watching my beautiful snapdragons start to bloom! I will share more about these lovely flowers next week.

I will share more about these lovely flowers next week. My tiger lilies are about to bloom too!
