Planting Time for ME!

It's time to start planting and I can't wait to get my

hands dirty this weekend!

I love using containers and window boxes as they

are always a little more low maintenance!

Window boxes can give your house that instant update with

a pop of color and your neighbors will be envious in a few weeks

when it all comes together and everything starts growing.

If you have been to my house then you know I

use a hodge podge

of containers from old buckets and even washtubs.

I just think it gives more character!

Plant those seedlings now so you will have

those cut flowers in mid to late summer.

I always plant mint, zinnias and sunflowers

to enjoy throughout

my house during those hot summer months.
Happy planting & don't forget to water!

What a cute idea for a centerpiece this weekend! Take a glass container with a little water and plop in bright colored flowers! Use jelly beans and peeps to hide the glass!

Looks beautiful!

Use glass containers all year long and this one (set of 2) is on the Willow House outlet so take a look this week at http://feliciastory.willowhouse.com

Happy Wednesday!

Easter Eggs!

Blessings!

Welcome SPRING!

Spring is FINALLY HERE! The flowers are blooming, my spring cleaning is done and SPRING is finally here! My mulch is down and the yard ready and maintained for the next several months. I like to keep things simple with window boxes and planters. Although it is still a little too early to plant those annualss as my Mawmaw used to say one should not plant anything until after Mother’s Day. I don’t think I’ll be able to hold out for another month because I feel like a caged bird ready to put those pops of color in my yard to enjoy! We have some beautiful outdoor décor from Willow House that you can enjoy as the days get longer and warmer. In the meantime it is almost time for EASTER. A family tradition growing up was for Daddy to color Easter eggs with us. I think he had more fun than we did and has continued this tradition with the grandkids. He always saves some of the eggs to make his famous pickled eggs. Our family’s egg hunt over the past few years has been held at my sister’s farm. We don’t use the colored eggs in the hunt but rather use the plastic ones and fill them with prizes, candy and even money. It is so much fun to watch the kids run all around the field to find that golden egg. After the egg hunt we always gather and have lunch with mom’s famous potato salad. If you are like me I always decorate my house for the season. Once again, I like to keep things simple. I have knick knacks that I love to rotate throughout the house. This time of year I pull out the bunnies, grass, moss balls and grab a few bags of jelly beans. I can make a simple arrangement by taking any decorative bowl and filling it with jelly beans or Easter eggs and place it on a tray. Set a ceramic bunny beside it, take a candle stand and place a moss ball on top of it and there you have a very simple focal point for any table. Keep things simple for this time of year and if you ever need any decorating tips please let me know.
