April Showers... Inspirations of the month!

Ahhh April.  The snow is melting, the temperatures are slowly rising.  Today I drove with my sun roof open and then opened some windows in my house.  The windows creaked and the screens are dusty, but fresh air just feels so great this time of year (particularly after the harsh winter we had).

I thought I would pull together some Pinterest posts that have been making me excited for April and spring in general.

Rainbow Carrot Mix

How gorgeous are these carrots?  If you have a green thumb and some dirt you can buy these seeds.  Imagine them shredded in a coleslaw or steamed and buttered on an Easter table.  

Beautiful bud vases

These are so beautiful they don't even need a bud!  Imagine them lined up in a row on shelf or a single vase on a side table.

Table runner

I don't know how practical this table runner is, but it was just so cute I couldn't help but include it.  

Rhubarb (is any food more perfect?!)

Rhubarb is my absolute favourite spring harvest.  In our last house I planted and only got a few stalks before we sold (you can't pick it the first year you plant it).  It was with great luck that our current house already had rhubarb planted.  I have a couple favourite recipes I'll share here once ours starts to grow back:  Rhubarb Upside Down Cake and Rhubarb Lemon Spritzers.

Floral fabrics

Spring makes me want to buy every scrap of chintz I can find!  

Gorgeous painted iron

For years I have been keeping my eye out for the perfect iron outdoor furniture that I can paint.  In my mind my fantasy iron is painted an ultra bright hue, but there is something so romantic about the weathered paint on the bench above. 

Peas, red cabbage, Brussels sprouts. Looks like an Easter feast!

This side dish is either your worst nightmare or your dream come true.  I love cabbage and Brussels sprouts so it looks amazing and bright to me.

What are you loving this spring?
