A good hare day on the sunporch...

I don't want to talk about what's outside at the moment, except to say there's nothing Spring-y about it. These last few days have been gray and snowy and altogether yucky. I bought some tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths last week that I was wanting to get planted, but forget it...they will have to wait until the snow goes away. So I'm choosing to boost my Springtime thoughts with what's going on out here on the sunporch.




 Yep, it's definitely Spring on the Sunporch!







Decorating out here always starts with different seasonal quilts.
Changing them out gets me in the mood for whatever the season may be.



 Then layering on the pillows, and bringing out the fun vintage goodies...



I'm not really a "blue" person, 
but this wonderful floral quilt has me almost there.


It was from my mother-in-law's stash
 that I think was from her mom back in the 40's.



I have the tail end of the paperwhites in that little USA yellow planter
and I've been browsing through my vintage Better Homes and Garden binder.



I can always count on it looking warm and Spring-like out here,
even if the outside temps don't agree.






This is another favorite quilt of mine in the Tumbling Block pattern.



My white paper mache buns is sitting 
on the little green chair from when I was a baby.


We won't talk about how old that rickety little chair actually is...



Vintage pink rabbit planter, birdie tin, and seed packets...



Hey, an old chalkware chicken is even roosting out here.


One more chance for snow this evening,
and then I hope we're done!




Just a housekeeping note...
I've just added the Bloglovin' follow option to my sidebar. If you haven't tried it yet, let me say it's my new favorite. It's so super easy and you can import all your favorite blogs that you follow from Google Reader at one click, not individually. I've actually been using it this week, and it's better than the old method. So if you're a follower, I'd love you to click and follow me there. You can get set up in half a minute!
