Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things and Happy spring! I am thrilled to be joining Katherine at Katherine’s Corner and wonderful group of bloggers for my third year as a co-hostess for this fantastic weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers too!

If you are looking to grow your blog, make new friends, and or simply to be inspired each week, this is the place to be! *Bloggers: If you would like a chance to be featured, please leave a comment with the number of your link up. We can’t wait to see what you have to share this week! (If you missed the last party you can find it here.) To get the party started, let’s take a look at what I have been up to recently:

A Wee St. Patrick’s Day Greeting: Let Erin Remember

On St. Patrick’s Day I shared a wee holiday greeting with a little outdoor vignette. I just love shamrocks (oxalis)!

Early Spring Decorating with Vintage Crocks

On Saturday I joined several blogging friends for a new vintage themed blog hop series. This month’s theme was vintage crocks. I shared how I have used my small collection of vintage crocks on my porch for early spring. Simply planting some pansies and arranging spring flowers and branches was so therapeutic! I also enjoyed seeing all of the other amazing ideas for decorating with vintage crocks and I really encourage you to check them out. You can find links to of the blog hop participant’s post at the end of my post.

The forsythia is in bloom in our neighborhood! Just a few fresh or faux branches tucked here and there adds “instant spring” to any space. Check out this post full of beautiful ideas for Simple Spring Decorating with Forsythia Branches.
