Friday Favorites Springtime

Hello sweet friends, I hope you had a wonderful week. We have gotten absolutely drenched here at Storybook Cottage. I took a turn about the gardens earlier this week and was delighted to discover that a peony bush that I thought had been lost has returned. Isn’t it wonderful how nature always suprises us? Heres to Friday Favorites Springtime.

Friday Favorites Springtime

Within a span of a week I have heard the term Chaos Gardening several times on various sites. It is defintely the perfect term for what is going on in my own garden. While I do stick to a color palette of white, pinks and purples, there is definitelly an aspect of chaos going on. I simply just plop down new plants into a space that needs to be filled. I hope for the best and am always delighted each spring to see what returns. 

A Cotswold Cottage

This 17th century cottage, located in Tetbury, England, is chock full of charm. 

Pretty Painted Candles

Spring cleaning has commenced here at the cottage. I have an entire small cupboard of candles. Some old specimens had become discolored with age and for a moment I thought about tossing them. But I hate to be wasteful. Instead, I think I am going to transform them into pretty painted candles with a bit of acrylic paint. 

Rosemary Lemon Tart

This semi-homemade rosemary lemon tart looks so scrumptious and goes together in minutes!

Spring Centerpiece Ideas

I love the idea of a floral centerpiece that lives on. This post has three gorgeous ideas. 

I hope you have a lovely weekend. I’ll be back on Tuesday with a fun project.
