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:

Vintage  Cottage Weekend: Garden Updates and Elegant New Urn

It’s  down the last two weeks of school and I have been extremely busy with choir concerts and end of the year activities. To destress, every free second I have had has been spent in my garden! This weekend I shared an update of what is happening around my garden and the elegant urn I received for Mother’s Day.

Now here are some beautiful features from last week’s party!
