Sunny San Antonio Part 3

It’s a bit chilly here in Annapolis today and I’m thinking of the beautiful weather we had in San Antonio. Now I have had many people tell me spring is beautiful there but the summers can be crazy hot. I guess there is always a trade off.

We had the best experiences today. Our morning was dedicated to Disney. We had tickets for the Disney Animation Immersive Experience and it was worth every penny. We enjoyed the lobby exhibitions as much as the rest of the show. It was not overcrowded and there was not a bad seat to be had. I wish we had more time because I would like to see it again.

Photo opportunities in the lobby
Catching Frozen bubbles
Pocahontas all around us.

We ended our afternoon at the Historic Market Square in San Antonio. It was a lovely day to shop both inside and outside. The margaritas were very tasty!

So much color!

Where Flowers Bloom…

I love this quote from Lady Bird Johnson…”Where flowers bloom, so does hope…”. It seems even more appropriate this spring as we are slowly regaining our footing after such a topsy-turvy year. The flowers seem brighter, the air smells sweeter and the laughter of my Princess so precious. There is hope. I like that. I also like bringing a bit of that springtime hope into my house. Some blooms are nature made, some are man made, all are beautiful.

Simple Cherry blossoms in an ironstone pitcher.
Flowers in an old farm tool on the mantel…I still don’t know what it is.
Flowers greet you in the foyer
Pretty purple in the Dining room
The Princess contemplates beauty!

Springing into the Past

There are probably a hundred or so boxes between me and my spring stash. Let’s go back in time…pre-renovations !

The weather was gorgeous yesterday.  Blue skies, warm temperatures, slight wind…feels like Spring to me!  Time to lighten up the house, put away the winter cozy and enjoy this breathtaking season. Anyone else finally feel Spring this weekend? May I present Spring as interpreted by…well, me!


A spring fireplace with some simple but lovely touches. It seems fresh to me after the heavier elements of winter.


Some silk peonies in an antique French oyster basket, framed cross-stitch and rabbits and eggs (of course) reflect the colors of Spring.


I love my  vintage German candy molds paired with some brightly colored eggs and adorable putz lambs. Sweet but not cutesy.


One of my few Pottery Barn purchases. I fell in love with these bunnies at first sight…and they were on clearance! The darling chicks on old doorknobs was an eBay purchase. I think the purple and clear milk bottles add an interesting color element.


Oh the Princess and her kite! Can you think of a more beautiful representation of Spring?
