Hi Everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful spring. The buds here sure are looking pretty. I snapped a couple of pictures today of one of my favorite spring trees (pictured above). I love the color! The temps are finally staying up warm enough in the day to suit me and the cool nights make for good sleeping.
I am a devoted Tasha Tudor fan. I thought I would share one of her books with you. Even though this book has "spring" in the title it really isn't about the season spring. However, I love the illustrations and the book seems festive to me for this time of the year. You can click on the pictures and they will enlarge.
We had one leather recliner in our family room. Talk about comfortable!! Mmmm, what a delight! Hubby and I would take turns sitting in it and finally a couple of weeks ago I went to the furniture store and ordered another one. It came last week and here it is! These two recliners are huge and really too big to have two side by side but these face the TV and we love them so that is what it is all about right? We do feel like our grandparents now; nestling in the recliners at the end of the day. Our grandparents were smart huh?
And finally you can see a little bit of what I have been up to also. Ugh. Spring cleaning time!!! I do love getting everything clean top to bottom inside and out. This year I have someone helping me and she is a godsend. I am so tickled that we will have everything spic and span this week.
Baby son is on his way back from Europe as I type. The week has gone very fast! I am so glad that he will be coming home but so happy that he has had this wonderful experience.
I hope you all are enjoying Spring as much as I am.
The trees are gorgeous and the book is such a delight with all the pretty flowers and birds. I am with you, I have been on a spring cleaning spree and it does feel so good to have everything really clean. Glad your son had a great trip. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI love redbud trees as well -- they are a harbinger of spring. I, too, love Tasha Tudor (one of the reasons we have a corgi) -- she was a special lady. Glad you're getting your spring cleaning done -- it always feel so good!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful trees! I am so glad spring is here. Love the recliner. We also have 2 in front of the TV and they are so comfy that we often fall asleep in them...Christine
ReplyDeleteI got a chuckle out of the side by side recliners, but you absolutely have the right idea. They are comfy and at the end of a hard day, it's our reward; we've earned it!
ReplyDeleteSpring is sloooowly making it's way here. We got up into the 50's one day YAY!
My, your home is beautiful. I love the chairs.
ReplyDeleteThat little book is so cute! Love the illustrations!
ReplyDeleteSadly, Deb's shop is now closed. I went over there Saturday but the magnolia paintings you liked were gone. Seems the owner of them took them back home! Hope you are able to find something else you love for your dining room...
What a beautiful book! You're right the illustrations are gorgeous. I am enjoying Spring so much; we are spending a lot of time outside. I guess I'm crazy, but I like the Spring cleaning too!
ReplyDeleteThe book is beautiful and if we didn't have 3 children living with us, I would trade in our huge sectional for recliners like my grandparents did!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic blog you have going here and what a beautiful yard and home you have!!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you don't mind if I follow?
If you have a moment or two of your life that you don't mind wasting, please visit me at my blog and say hello.
Take good care and........

Hi, do you mind if I ask where you got your recliners, or what the brand is? We are needing some new chairs and would like recliners that don't look like recliners. I love these.
ReplyDeletewow! this is so whimsical! I feel like I'm in a fairy tale.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Nothing like a good Spring cleaning Vanessa.
ReplyDeleteYour new recliner is pretty!
They do look very comfy.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteIs everything OK? It is hard coming to your blog and seeing no new activity. Don't want to be pushy but would love to hear from you.
I hope all is well with you. You never know what happens out in blogland. I hope you are doing fine.
ReplyDeleteYou are missed! I hope to see you here again soon.
ReplyDeleteJust hopped on over from Katy's blog....you haven't been around it seems. Well, I am sure you are busy but I am telling you...those recliners on your last post are calling my name!
