HOT

I don't know about you
but I'm so much more inspired in sunshine.
These days it's been snowy and blowy here so
I thought that perhaps a post on something a little
HOT
may just bring on spring ... what do you think??
And how much HOT would it take?
Hmmmmm ....
So I interrupt our regularly scheduled programming
to bring on spring!
You with me?






































Did it work, do you think?
See you Friday!

SPRING AHEAD

If you, like myself, live in a part of the world
that participates in daylight savings time,
this last weekend we changed our clocks ahead an hour
and refer to it as "springing ahead."
I take that as my cue (doesn't take much)
 to start looking for leaf buds on the trees and
tulips to pop out of the ground.
I know, I know ... springing ahead doesn't mean it's spring.
But, in my mind when we switch to daylight savings
and the light stays around longer,
it's officially A-OK to be in a SPRING mood!

Add to that the fact that this weekend
we had beautiful sunshine and
that the temperature on Sunday rose to an
almost balmy fifty-nine degrees (Fahrenheit)
and I'm in spring heaven.
We took a Sunday drive to celebrate the occasion
(just love those, don't you?)
and took a walk in the warmth of the sun ...
it was heavenly!
Were you in a spring celebration mood too?
Did you celebrate "spring ahead" or am I alone here? lol

Let me be the first to wish you all
Happy Spring Ahead
and let's consider it the launching off
of loads of springtime fun!
It's official gang.

See you Wednesday!

DANCING SHOES

 Hi everyone!

 I'm wondering ... do you have spring fever too?

I think maybe it's the fact that I've been
decorating my living room with beach house details
and it's pushing me a bit over the edge.
It has me thinking about spring and color
and the water out back that's covered by ice now
 and how I can't wait to sit in the sun and gaze at the lily pads
with a glass of iced tea and a good book ...
you with me?

And how much do we look forward to
kicking off the socks and boots and
slipping sleek bare feet into some cute flats!
So ...  let's put on our spring dancing shoes
and click our heels and make a wish ...
maybe spring will come even sooner!

Spring always makes me happy, of course,
but do you know what else does?
Kate Spade.
I love a little Kate Spade whimsy.
I mean ... living colorfully is a really good thing, no?
So what better dancing shoes could we slip into
than these Kate Spade dancing darlings?

The chic leopard flats with the
hot pink patent toe and black patent heel is the
Terry
The pretty mint flat with the silver toe is the
Ginny Too Flat
The black and white stripe flat
with the gold glitter toe is the
Trixie

So, what do you say ...
dance away, my darlings, and let's bring on the tulips!



On a closing note ...
 if you missed Monday's post,
elegant personalized
"Whippet Blank Notes," featuring
a new illustration of a chic whippet dog
are available for purchase
for a limited time
on the Grand Entrance post!


See you Friday, lovelies!
