Share Your Style #5

Hi Everyone and welcome to our new weekly party 

Share Your Style!

We're so glad you're here to join in.

In case you missed coming by,

 here are a few pics from my last week's posts

here on Common Ground:

Styling a DIY Seed box, a New Pillow for Spring, 

and an Irish Blessing with Vintage Postcards.

An Irish Blessing...

I've always been partial to St. Patrick's Day. The heartfelt sentiments of an Irish Blessing, the beckoning of ancient castles, and lush green hills. The celebrations of friendships and family loyalties, the good wishes and prayers for a blessed year. There may have been a little Irish from my mother's side, so today I'll celebrate the Irish, and send a blessing to all of you.

Styling a DIY Seedbox for St. Patty's Day

All it takes is a few sunny days where the temps are 50 and above and you'll find me puttering around with seed boxes, seed packets, and some old gardening tools. This week will be the "official" start of Spring so I'm having fun bringing a little green for St. Patrick's Day onto the Baker's Rack in the kitchen sitting area.

A little Birdie told me...

That it will be Spring in just one week!

I had to share this adorable little pillow from Judy.

It makes me want to chirp...

The kitchen sitting area is getting Spring-ified,

and some St. Patty's Green is coming out.

What are you up to this weekend?

Hope it has some green in it!

Hi All, 

it's Wednesday, and that means its time for

 Share Your Style.

Early Spring Entry and New Lighting

Since we've moved here to the new place I've been thinking about new lighting on the hall console. I'd had my previous gold tone buffet lamp for over 13 years, and once we moved here, it started to look a little "out of place". The gray shutters, white washed mirror, and silver tray were all telling me something "antique gold", was just one too many colors and textures for the space.

Baskets for Spring Door Decor

I've slowly been putting "Winter" away, and bringing "Spring" into the house this last week. After Christmas I keep some of my winter faux greenery out as a backdrop and base for winter flower arrangements, and in baskets. Since snow covered trees and evergreens have been about the only landscape in sight, I've enjoyed my transition time from Christmas to Spring. But now that the sun is shining and the thermometer is going to be in the 50's and 60's we have a good chance that the worst of winter is behind us.
