Spring with pink!

This morning when i awoke this is what i saw from my sleeping porch... A lovely burst of pink blossoms!! It's warming up too. Spring is here and time to lighten up the bedding. It also means putting away the heavy robe and bringing out my cotton ruffled one... My grandmother's pillow cases come out from the cedar chest to be switched with the heavy winter pillows... Away goes the heavy comforter for the light pink and white quilt...

The dresser gets a fresher look with my old embroidered

linen. On another note I wanted to share with you my old chest I have had for many

years. I almost parted with it when i moved. I am so happy i didn't. Birds seem

to be the latest craze in home decor... It fits right in.


Happy Spring Everyone!!

    Holy doodles Pamela! What other bedding do you have hidden away? It is so yummy. I have never in my lame old life changed bedding according to the season. Maybe I should start. Although I am not shedding my cozey robe or my wool blankets yet.

    Your bed looks so warm and cozy, yet perfect for the warmer weather. I love it...I have been thinking of changing up to something lighter within the next few weeks, too.

    Your pink and white bedding is beautiful. I'm from Australia and on the weekend I just swapped our summer quilt for the winter one as the nights are just starting to get cooler!

    Hi Pamela,
    You are so lucky to be seeing blossoms already, are those lilac blossoms? Oh, I love the smell of those.
    Your bedroom looks so pretty with all of the pink and I especially love your robe. I think I should make one like that, I love ruffles, as you have probably figured out from reading my blog.
    Your old chest by your bed is lovely, I'm sure you are glad that you kept it.
    Hugs, Cindy

    Hey Pamela...don't you just love old linens? I have some that were my grandmother's and also some I have picked up here and there. Love your pink and I'm so glad you didn't get rid of your chest. I think we all need a "think about" room so we can stash stuff and think about whether or not we want to keep it. Sometimes just a little time is all you need to realize something has value and is worth keeping. Have a great day...~Ann

    Ok seriously you have blooms already, enjoy them for me my friend. I do have buds starting on the trees but we will not have blooms until late April. I might have to bring in some apple tree branches early to force spring into action. Enjoy your good weather.

    Pamela- I LOVE your dresser! It is a beautiful (old?) piece...and you are right- I see them now all over but yours looks like an original.

    I need to get rid of the little girl's flannel sheets when I get home and their heavy winter comforters and bring on Spring! xxoo Diana ps..your summer quilt is gorgeous!

    Lucky you with the pretty pink blossoms. We just can't seem to get those temperatures up and so the snow lingers. I love your chest - you are so right about birds being everywhere these days.
