Hello everyone,
I spent some time on the weekend giving our little porch/entry a cheery spring look.The garden bench that was here is going back to the garden so the vintage wicker chair got a fresh coat of paint and moved into the corner of the porch.
tulip bouquets.

If you would like to see another look for this little porch you can check it out here.
Sit and have a cup of tea and enjoy the sunshine.
And a peek through a couple of beautiful garden magazines that I am happy to say some photos I took of our garden are featured in- Flea Market gardens and Real Gardens!!! Thank you, Diane Speros and Phyllis Goldstein!
Do you recognise our garden? I remember when we were building that terrace/gazebo one cold spring several years ago. We never dreamt it would be featured in magazines one day!
This was one of my favorite summer tablescapes so I am happy to see it published in Flea Market Style gardens.If you would like to see more of it click here and also the magazine is available in stores now. Looking forward to those garden tea parties again!
It actually feels like spring here and the snow is melting a little each day so pretty soon it will be spring through the house but also in the garden. I am so looking forward to it!!!I am joining Cozy Little House for Tweek it Tuesday and Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday.
Thank you for visiting me,
Carolyn

Dear Carolyn,
Oh how exciting you are yet again featured in magazines - you both soooo deserve the recognition for your loveliness and VERY hard work.
I am so excited for spring to come seeing your newest changes and your gorgeous tulips.
I am still in St. Pat's mode, then on to Easter/spring. Shocking how fast time is flying, isn't it?
I love your parents hall tree so much, what a great way to do seasonal looks, yet tug at your heart strings too while you think of them.
Love it.
You have such a gift Carolyn!
I so enjoyed your beautiful and charming porch.
Can't get any better!
Congrats on the magazine features too.

What a beautiful hall tree, Carolyn! So functional, too. Love your front entry/porch. It looks like a nice space for entering your home and you've decorated it beautifully for Spring.
Everything looks so lovely. What a beautiful way to welcome Spring.

The parrot tulips are so pretty. I am so ready for spring..I wish the weather knew that. I always love seeing your gardens
Hi Carolyn,
I picked up Flea Market Gardens but not Real Gardens. I didn't realize you were in that one, too. I'll have to go to the bookstore now and get me a copy of that one, too! Love those parrots and I have the same bunny (bought it new at HomeSense this season), aqua floral teacup and very similar birdhouse! Midge spotted them all! Lol I wish I could say that I have a similar garden!!! GORGEOUS GORGEOUS job, m'dear. Congrats!
Hugs,

Congrats on being featured - I can't think of any more beautiful garden than yours!
I love your little sun porch in any season but the spring decor is just so pretty. Lovely tulips and white furnishings. Your antique hall tree is a beautiful piece. Congrats on being published again! Blessings, Pamela
How nice that you were featured in the magazine...I can certainly see why. You will inspire a lot of readers. I have to pick it up!
Your porch is lovely and so ready for spring. I really like your old hall stand, the hats are such a sweet addition. The whole space makes me feel like spring is just around the corner. Let's keep our fingers crossed! :)

The wicker and flower are so inviting and springlike. Congrats on being featured. Your gardens are amazing!
Carolyn, your home looks wonderful with the touches of Spring in it. I do love tulips and the hall tree looks charming adorned with them and the hats! Congratulations on your feature too!
I haven't started my Spring decorating at all as I have been laid up since January. One of these days hopefully I will be able to get to it. Thank you for coming to tea and enjoy your week.

Congratulations on being in the magazines. Not surprised a bit as you have the loveliest of gardens. Bravo; well done.
I think your parent's hall tree is gorgeous. How fortunate you are to have it and decorate it for the seasons.

Beautiful spring porch! Love the transformation with the wicker chair. The parrot tulips just say spring with an elegant touch. This is a perfect spot for tea and a good book or magazine to read! Pam
I love seeing the changes you make in your home Carolyn, they aways look so nice.
Congrats on being featured in more magazines; I'm waiting to see you in Victoria.

What a gorgeous porch! So feminine and inviting.
I'm a month late commenting here. I've only recently started "following".
This is perfect inspiration for me, as I've purchased some wicker for my back porch at an estate sale.
Love your blog!
