    I met Jill at the Country Living Fair this fall and she's just as cute as can be. You have to check out her sewing business. I see her stuff at the local shops and she sells at the Springfield Extravaganzas too!

      Pam,
      Thank you for including Botanic Bleu's Early Spring Plants in your round-up. There are so many spring-inspiring posts in the Mega Spring Linky Party that I am still visiting them.

      Pam, I usually love reading your posts, but not today. I didn't know you were such a TEASE. Here in Maine, winter is still going to be in force for a while longer and you are just waving something in my face that won't happen until, maybe May. I am not a huge fan of winter and this winter has been nasty cruel. I thought you were kind...but you are just a tease. 🙂
      The pictures are so pretty, can't wait, can totally agree with your preference to get your hands dirty outside, rather than getting them dirty inside, dusting and such. We are all hoping to get above freezing this weekend. We are all so giddy about that, you would think we won the lottery!

        Maybe this weather is headed your way? Yesterday was 57 and today was low 50's. Not exactly Florida or anything, but I'll take it!

      I need a little spring today! Beautiful inspiration photos, Kathleen's French basket is gorgeous...

        I want to figure out how to make one of those myself. Maybe a picnic basket from Goodwill and some paint and voila it's a french basket.

      Oh, spring, where are you? Your inspiration photos have me itching to get out in the yard.....after our 4 feet of snow melt, that is. An estate sale already? Luck you! I can't wait to see your cleaned up goodies!

      Love the spring inspiration that you've highlighted in this post. We had sun and 40 degrees yesterday. I even saw evidence of melting. Our mountains of snow look slightly smaller!! Can't wait to see what you found at the estate sale!
