Saturday Sparks Link Party 415

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 415!

Starting off today's party with a little anticipation!

Spring Yearning at Pieced Pastimes

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.
 
"March is a tomboy with tousled hair, a mischievous smile, mud on her shoes and a laugh on her voice."

~ Hal Borland

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! ❤️

Now, let's get this party started.

First up, the Fabulous Features from Saturday Sparks 414.


Paper Butterflies at Simple Joys




The Speaker Cabinet at The Apple Street Cottage




Homemade Sesame Seed Candy at Little Yellow Corner Store
