Spring is in the air! The daffodils and hyacinths have begun to bloom at Storybook Cottage. While there is also a ton of yard debris left over from the recent storms I am choosing to focus on this beauty that lasts for just a moment. I loved reading about Arabella Lennox-Boyd’s magical garden. It has taken her 40 years, YES FORTY YEARS, to create it. This is a true Saturday Smiles A Garden Of Hope.
Saturday Smiles A Garden Of Hope
It’s good to have hope. My pantry hopes to look like this beautifully organized one when it grows up.
Do you ever play the game, “If I won the lottery?” I do, which is silly because I rarely if ever play. But if any of you do inherit a windfall this castle, Greystone Court is for sale. After you move in let’s have tea in the tearoom. More details HERE.
Earlier this week several bloggers posted sweet springtime tablescapes. I did a double take on this lovely layout because of the cloche. It is oval. An OVAL cloche! I NEED this in my life. The cloche is from Restoration Hardware. Maybe it will go on sale. #hopespringseternal
This week may you find joy and HOPE.
We are supposed to start our bathroom renovation this next week.
I am hopeful,
Laura

When Your House Has A Midlife Crisis
Best of luck with the bathroom reno. I hope to do one soon, tooo…….
That tea room is so sweet but your Romans quote is just what I needed. Thanks for sharing it. mary
We are in the midst of our bathroom renovation. Tile going in on the walls of the shower for the next couple days, then the floor, then the toilet etc. etc.
Hope all goes well with yours…
What a pretty place to have tea in that room. Who would want to leave? Your tea time guests would still be there at bedtime! lol
And BTW, I don’t think any real person’s pantry looks like that. Even Miss MS herself probably doesn’t have one like that. :/
But I bet anyone who visits your pretty home wishes theirs looks as nice as your Storybook Cottage. 🙂
Lovely photos, Laura. Hope focuses on so many things, doesn’t it? That pantry caught my eye, as did the garden in the top photo. Let’s have tea there!
