When I flipped my calendar last Sunday, (The Simple Life by Karen H. Good) from February to March, the saying this month said "just think of lovely things."
Above: Royal Albert "American Beauty" China
Thinking of "lovely things" most likely means different subject matter for all of us but hopefully there's at least a little overlap?
At the top of my list is beautiful china & silverware.
A sweet Persian cat ranks right up there too!
A new spring wreath, a reminder that warmer days are just around the corner, seems especially lovely today.
Along with fresh, accompanying spring porch decor (although the boxwood wreath needs some sprucing up.)
Flowers are a GIVEN as lovely things
and "must" haves....ALWAYS.
This time of year, Amaryllis are still "go-to" blooms. This one is "Half & Half."
One I've never grown before.
I have a couple more Amaryllis about to open, then I'm hoping we can transition to blooms straight out of the garden!
That is the loveliest thought of all!!!
This week the weather calls for blue skies and warm temperatures.
Another lovely thought....
I don't know about you, but all this thinking and looking at lovely things has me in a very zen place. What a "lovely" way to start the week!!!!
I'm starting to feel the same way, Kathleen, and actually looking forward to heading back to Wisconsin, believe it or not! Your signs of spring are so beautiful, as always! The china is so pretty. I have a small collection of tea cups and saucers, and I'm thinking of adding to it as time goes by. :)

What a lovely blog! That china is amazing! So happy you were able to get it and for such a good deal. Your patience paid off. I LOVE what you did with the stand - that is amazing. You will find so many great uses for that and it's perfect for the Garden sign. You really got me excited about Spring with this post!
