Share my fondness of blending Mother’s mid-century style with a modern spin.

I`m excited for spring, but I`m in no rush. Retirement is teaching me to slow down and enjoy life - not at the brave neck speed I had to be in during my younger years of juggling work, parenting, caregiving, and all the things.
This month, my mood finds me...
☘️Planting seeds after the last frost - usually around March 20
🌿 Paint my nails green for St. Patrick`s Day
🍀Re-read @annaspiro design book Absolutely Beautiful Things to inspire me
🌿 Finish putting out bunnies and other soring decor
🍀 Plan my Easter lunch menu.

Now it`s starting to rain and my work is done for today.
Do you like to garden? What`s your favorite thing about spring?
For sure, Peter Rabbit approves of my spring centerpiece. When I found these faux herbs and geraniums, I knew they`d be perfect for my dining table.
