Happy March! There is finally a light at the end of the tunnel, right?! Although March is still a cold month here in the Chicago area, at least I know the worst of it is over...and I am anxiously awaiting Spring!
Just a few Spring inspired images for you today...
I gathered up the last of my quince branches that had leafed out and some hyacinth that I bought, and grouped them together in the lovely lavender bottles that I bought from Dreamy Whites...and then added a few of my vintage maps and an ironstone platter...
And I am waiting for my forsythia branches to open up...I think they are pretty even as little buds :)
Have a great weekend!

What beautiful pictures. So love how captured the buds!
The stirrings of spring has to be one of my favourite times of year, still a refreshing nip in the air but things are budding and the sun gains a little strength :-) I ove your old map!

Even when I can't find spring outside my window...I know I'll find it here!! Love every single photo, Tracey; each one is bursting with beauty:)
P.S. Hope to see you at the Na-DA Farm in May:)
Snow is just about out of sight again except for a few patches... Heavy rain for this weekend concerns me some for those who are already in dismay with flooding... Your lovely touches of spring look very inviting... You are right we may get snow but it goes away in a couple days... Stay warm and safe... Glad you are better.....
Hi Tracey.
What beutiful post about spring you bring. I suspect we have the same climate. March is a bit of cold moth here as well. But we call it the first spring month. Snow is diseapering and buds fattens up on the trees. Bulbs start to carefully peep up from the soil. Wonderful time.
I used to have a Forsythia, but since we moved I have not planted a new one. A bit silly. They brings such joy and message of spring.
Have a wonderful day. :)

WONDERFUL!!!!
Being a Chicago transplant, I know what you are saying, March is the month you "really" are hoping for Spring weather.
I also snipped some fresh garden lavender and rosemary and made a small bouquet for my kitchen island.
I planted my first ever hydrangeas this fall and we have buds this week! They made it through the winter. Yay!!!
Beautiful pictures Tracey, I always love them and your photography is superb. Have a lovely weekend!! Leahxx

Beautiful. Glad you are finally well. I came down with this flu thats going around this week...but I am recovering faster than my busy family members did because I am able to stay home and rest.
I have missed ordering the Jeanne D Arc living mags from you, but my hubby has been laid off his job for over 6 mos. now so until we get back on our feet these lil luxuries have to wait. ox
Flowers and maps - what an unexpected yet lovely combo. Your photos are as always beautiful! Thanks for sharing your lovely petals with us.
Thanks Tracey,
We are heading towards colder months over here...it's lovely to enjoy your pictures! Have a wonderful weekend. Emma.
You're so lucky to experience spring down there before we do up here, Tracey. :) BUT there's a light at the end of the tunnel! The bluebirds and robins have returned here! Yay! Love your photos, as usual, sweetie. Sooooo pretty!
xoxo laurie
So so pretty!I love the picture angles. I gotta get me some of them purdy things.... I need some serious spring here...
I always feel such inspiration after viewing your wonderful posts! Those lavender bottles - LOVE THEM & the map background, too! You have such a amazing photography style with bokeh! Your hyacinths are so pretty. I just picked up the purple ones.. Jewel has them buy 1, get 1 free this week! :)
Lara
So beautiful. Although I guess I will always feel that hyacinths are more christmas than summer, but I guess that's just because of tradition.
I love those branches, and I hope that I will soon be able to snap some from my own garden that is covered in snow.
This is beautiful blog, I think I will stay :)
Gorgeous as always Tracey! You have a wonderful weekend too!
Here in the Netherlands,the sun was shining this afternoon. I can't wait till it's getting warmer and and we can live outdoor. Sadly here March is also still cold. Last night it has frozen about 5 degrees c. So 'for now we're enjoying the sun in our lovely warm home. Have a nice weekend!
Wilma
Tracey I am loving the Jeanne D' Arc this month- so much to be inspired by and how
beautiful it is here, I love your spring pics.

Bonjour Tracey! Loving your images of spring. So waiting for it to come. I keep buying pots of white tulips...
