Welcome to Saturday Sparks 415!
Starting off today's party with a little anticipation!
We are currently in the midst of 'mud season' aka 'pothole season' here in New Hampshire.
Our fields are a mix of winter weary grass and unyielding snow.
Far from pretty, but it sits well with my soul just the same.
The landscape is on the verge of waking and with it, all the possibilities of new beginnings.
On another note, thank-you for all the emails and comments of concern for my recent absence. I never intended to be away for so long, but life had other plans for me. It warmed my heart to read your thoughtful words and it was much appreciated! ❤️
First up, the Fabulous Features from Saturday Sparks 414.
Paper Butterflies at Simple Joys
Easy Easter Tissue Paper Tassel Garland at Satsuma Designs
7 Ways to Set a Table with Natural Fiber Placemats at Calypso in the Country
Homemade Sesame Seed Candy at Little Yellow Corner Store

ReplyDeleteAll is well here, just busy MJ! The quote is one of my favorites. It really sums up this time of year perfectly. Smiles, Suzanne.
DeleteGlad to see you back, Suzanne! Thrilled to have our kitchen makeover among your features, thank you so much. Love the Hal Borland quote, sums it up perfectly. Our temperatures took a nosedive this week and apparently we have a lot of snow coming tomorrow.😢
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marie! Your kitchen turned out so nice. I'm sure your enjoying every detail. The good news about snow this late in the year is that it doesn't stick around too long. Sending you warm thoughts, Suzanne.
