The last few days have been exquisite.
The kind of days that you wish would be setting an example for the rest of the year.
Soft breezes along with
the warm sun on your back.
It all adds up to perfection
and even though it's a little too early for it to last,
it is something to be held close and cherished for now.
I am enjoying seeing all of the pretty neighborhood early bloomers
but our garden is always a little slower.
The daffodils are just buds now
and a few camellia blooms are spotted.
I didn't get to the market
in honor of St. Patrick's Day.
Although a very few,
they are still some beautiful blossoms,
as promised.
A few more photos of the entry.
Last weekend we took a little ride and stopped at a couple of thrift stores.
I have lost track of how long
it has been since I did that.
I guess I have finally come to the conclusion
that I must have enough stuff because not much appealed to me.
I did find the pretty plate for $3
that matches the Belleek cup that I picked up
a few years ago at a garage sale for 50 cents.
Judy,

Thanks so much, Deb. We are having a nice day today, but more and bigger storms expected next week. Glad you are having good days too. I'm giving Easter a few more days..Happy Tuesdat, xxoJudy
DeleteHow sweet you have blossoms already. Our daffy's are just tips sticking up. Gorgeous day today, but wild weather tonight. It's always something...loving your vases and dishes with your blossoms! Hugs, Sandi
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Sandi. Today will be another good day then the rain and even snow to come. Not quite springlike weather just yet..Happy Wednesday..xxoJudy
DeleteIt felt like spring here today as well! But tonight, snow is moving in... tis that uncertain season between winter and spring, which I call Springter, lol! I loved all your beautiful photos - and I understand going to a thrift shoppe and wondering - where will I put it? Your plates are so beautiful, and I love the touches of green for an Irish spring. Many blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Marilyn. Sounds like we are having similar weather patterns. A couple of seasons ago, I was calling it Sprinter. Seems we are at that time again..xxoJudy
DeleteLove your sweet treasures found. I did ancestry DNA kit a while back and found out I am 45% Irish. Never knew that. So now I feel I can celebrate St. Patricks Day with a few decor items and join in the fun. Have a great rest of the week. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kris. Irish roots come from my dad's side of the family so I feel I can celebrate a bit..Happy Wednesday..xxoJudy
DeleteI love your greens and yellows for decorating! No spring here yet.. tons of rain and wind, and even some skiffs of snow, and almost on the Oregon coast at that! How neat that you found the little pot to match the plate with the lucky clovers.... how fun to find something to match something we've had for a long time! Where I've moved to, I have seen some camelia bushes blooming but nothing else.. it'll come soon enough! I'm looking forward to some sunshine! xoxo Marilyn
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Marilyn. It is raining here now and snow expected in a few days. Just something we have to live with nowadays. Let me know how the move is going..xxoJudy
DeleteI find that I'm much picker now, at thrift stores, than I used to be. I have so much stuff, I should be donating, not buying! I love your little plate though. Great find, just the right touch of spring!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kim. I feel lucky to have found the plate. I guess there is something to be said for the luck of the Irish..xxoJudy
DeleteLovely blarney -- and beautiful daffs, too! It looks like spring has landed in your world!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jeanie. I picked the one daff that was blooming in the garden. There are now a few more buds but heavy rains last night may have squelched them..Gray skies during the day but rain and wind at night, but still the little birds are hopping around and singing. All good news..xxoJudy
DeleteSuch pretty Springtime plates and you displayed very well! Love the flowers too. Janice
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Janice. That really is a pretty plate and I'm glad to have found it. Happy weekend..xxoJudy
DeleteJudy, your peek of spring is lovely. The plate is so lovely and a great find. Love seeing the daffodils. A pleasure to see. I am happy to feature your bit of Irish spring at Love Your Creativity. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Linda. I appreciate your recognizing my post. Happy weekend. xxoJudy
DeleteLove your look for spring. It's fun to see your St. Pat's inspiration because I'm working on a St. Pat's table.
