A Gentle Reminder That It's Spring

The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.

Ah, spring in Michigan yesterday...

After a cold and snowy winter, we're more than ready for spring.  My favorite spring flower happens to be tulips...

I know hydrangeas aren't spring flowers in Michigan, but just seeing these on our dining table is so refreshing...

I even brought this arrangement up from our lower level to bring spring into our living room...

But I really love what I put together for our door.  I bought the metal welcome container years ago from Kennedy's and the flowers came from Flowerland, Hobby Lobby and Michaels.  The bright coral adds a real touch of spring...

Here's a sneak peek of what Mr. Cottage and I are starting to work on...

Stay tuned for the final results.
