Weekend fun

It's the first day of spring, and in Durham, North Carolina, it's sunny and 76 degrees.


Be still, my heart.

In case you missed it, I wanted to show you a little project I completed this week. I embellished a towel for my new powder room. . . with just a few minutes and no money. I love the way it turned out:



I give the extremely easy step-by-step directions in this guest post I wrote for Amanda at Imperfectly Beautiful. Click here to read the post. . . or here if you want to go to Amanda's home page. She's hosting a giveaway this weekend.

Now here's a little springtime riddle for you. Do you recognize these lyrics?


Welcome, sweet springtime, we greet thee in song;

Murmurs of gladness fall on the ear--

Voices, long hushed, now their full notes prolong,

Echoing far and near. . .


Can you name that tune?

  12. For those of you who are interested, that bud is on a deciduous magnolia tree, sometimes called a "Jane magnolia." Lovely, isn't it?
