My Favorite Things for Spring

Is anyone else as excited as me that tomorrow will be MARCH?! I don't want to complain, but let's face it. The winters here in Minnesota get down right long. I know, I know, we choose to live here. The snow and freezing temps come with it. And for the most part I love it and wouldn't trade it. But when I see that March is on the horizon I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. And that light is SPRING. The weatherman always does a great job of trying to rain (or should I say snow?) on my spring parade and remind us that March is usually the snowiest month of the year. And let's not forgot how it snowed in April last year. But NO. I will not get discouraged. I see the light. Yes I do.


To help brighten that light I've picked out some of my favorite things for spring.


As noted in a previous post I am addicted to vintage crates and baskets for organization. This one from oldcrowfarm would be perfect for your spring cleaning. Love the shade of green! $16.00. Very springy, don't you think?


Tulips are my favorite flower. They are so happy. So simple. So classic. These super cute vintage embroidered tulip appliques are only $3.50 by twoangelsinparis. Spring up a pair of jeans, a bag, or even a pillow case.


You must have a new purse for spring. Swap out that winter one for this great leather boho handbag from scarletvintage with flower detail on the front, $56.00.


Put a little "spring" in your step with these fabulous vintage green heels by soravintage, $37.00. Your toes will still be covered (just in case we get that snow in April) but you will be stylin'. Love the green. I'm a big fan of green, if you couldn't tell. It's just so springy!


And finally, I love love love this adorable sundress by nobletownvintage, $36.00. The only way it would be more perfect is if I could fit into it! Pair with a cute cardigan and boots for those spring days. Should I say, spring-tastic!

We are ready for you spring. Please come soon!

Thanks for reading and have a Happy Day!
