LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE...

The calendar said that spring began two days ago, 

and the view out the windows seems to agree.  

However, we can never be too sure 

and with all that is going on in the world,

 a little brightness would be very welcoming right about now.

What could be brighter 

than this familiar gathering of blooms

 keeping company with a happy reminder

 that Easter will be coming soon.

There can be nothing brighter 

than a wreath made up with the brilliant colors of summer flowers.  

Something to look forward to 

until the real ones come along.

Another sneak peek at the fact

 that the Cottage is preparing for spring

 and the arrival of that funny bunny.

One of the brightest things in life is having good friends.  

How lucky we are when we find them.  

All it took was a mention that I had ordered black and white carrots 

and then was unable to get them and one of my dear good friends, 

Kris,  from Junk Chic Cottage

sent me the prettiest wrapped package holding three of the cutest fabric carrots imaginable.  

This was nothing unusual for Kris as anyone who follows her knows.  

They are so perfect for a display on the kitchen table, and I love them. 

 Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, my friend.

The generosity of a friend 

along with a cute topiary from Ikea

 and a mossy rabbit on a black and white mat, 

brighten up the kitchen along with...

...the cutest black and white cottontail 
that Kris included, 
just because.

I hope you all 

are finding bits of brightness 

along the way to a beautiful springtime

Have a wonderful week 

and hope you are enjoying the young spring sunshine where you are.
