Happy May and welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I am so happy to be joining Katherine at Katherine’s Corner and a wonderful group of blogging friends as a co-hostess for this fantastic weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers too! If you are looking to grow your blog, make new friends, and be inspired each week, this is the place to be. *Bloggers: If you would like a chance to be featured, please leave me a comment with the number of your link up. We can’t wait to see what you have to share this week! (If you missed last week’s party you can find it here.???? To get the party started, let’s take a look at what I have been up to recently:

 

 

Cute gift ideas for Mother's Day door basket ideas May Day baskets May Day Cones

Yesterday I shared all about the tradition of May Day baskets and ideas for making Charming Door Gifts for May Day and Mother’s Day. All of the lovely little baskets, paper cones, jars, bags, and peat pots filled with flowers and treasures are so pretty and creative. Now I can’t wait to make a surprise door gift for my mom for Mother’s Day!

Now that May is here and summer is upon us, it is time to start preparing for outdoor entertaining and relaxing. Check out my recent post of Deck Inspiration including design, maintenance, and upgrade ideas.

      Good morning, Amber! What lovely features to wake up to today – it’s this sort of fresh inspiration that gets the gears moving and my creativity flowing. It’s dreary and rainy out, but those conditions are just right for dreaming. Today I’m sharing my bedroom which entailed a lot of work to renovate and transform into what it is today – at #62. Thanks for the opportunity and for hosting such an inspiring gathering. Peace to you.

    Amber,
    Thank you for featuring my Spring Potting Bench. All of this week’s features are perfect for Spring inspiration. Thank you for hosting each week where we can come for inspiration every week. Linky parties always remind me of magazines with each person’s post an article in this week’s issue.
