Happy Spring!


A little something warm
{hydrangea candles}

a little something sweet
{chocolate tulips, bunnies and M & M treats}
Photographed at Fresh Market on Sunday.

Warm weekend  breezes melted all that snowing.
Mountain streams are finally flowing,
and tiny buds are shyly showing.


Candles
Chocolate
Snow
. . . Slowly melting into joy . . . 

Have a wonderful first day of spring everyone!
~Maria

ps.  Did you see the heart in the stream?

  5. Such great photos. Love the hyacinth candles. Somehow grouping colors, even on a store shelf, creates such wonderful images.

    I host a weekly blog called Seasonal Sundays. It's about ALL things seasonal. Your post would be perfect. I hope you come and join me.

  6. The candles are so pretty. I've never seen any quite like that. Don't you love spring colors? It is so nice to see soft pinks, yellows and greens after a dark, ugly winter. We were still 70 degrees at 10:00 p.m. last night! It isn't going to last, but I'm enjoying every minute.

  10. Oh Yes my Dear,
    I too think...maybe, spring is here. What a gorgeous collection of Eastery goodness. Yummy, yummy tulips.
    Your Raspberry pie is sure to draw a crowd, I bet...and ya, it is tough when our children spread their wings and fly off to explore their world. Both of my babies are quite a ways away. It makes the time that we spend together just that much more special. Think my son might come home this weekend. I am still moving a bit slow...OK like a SNAIL...so I will start getting ready for his arrival soon. I will bake a bit and make sure that everything sparkles...fun :)
    Sending you a Spring Hug...when is your spring break?...do you have big plans?...xoxox...Rosie

  11. Oh my goodness....this is my kinda market my sweet friend. I love chocolate covered sunflower seeds...I could eat that whole container ...really I could! And such pretty colours.

    Well my first day of Spring Break was in Seattle with my sweet Sydney. We had a great day...shopping and eating!

    Sounds like you have a family on the move too my friend. I only have one...can't image having more.

    Sending you love for the rest of your week...hugs
