Welcome my lovely friends to No Place Like Home!
Spring is on its way! I heard our first song sparrow outside my window yesterday. What a welcome sound! Our goldfinches are shedding their olive feathers and beginning to turn yellow again. The clocks have turned ahead one hour and our days are getting longer. St Patrick's Day is this week and next Sunday is the first day of Spring. Then comes Easter. Lots to celebrate this month!
Over the weekend I shared my review on Downton Abbey. How I will miss that show!

I also shared a little tea to go along with it. If you missed that post you may click here to visit it.
First of all I would like to congratulate Mrs. T @ Across My Kitchen Table for having the most clicks on her post. She shared some very lovely embroidered dish towels.
Crafts
Penny @ Penny's Vintage Home shared her Spring wreath with streamers tutorial. A pretty welcome!
Trisha @ American Honey Home shared a wonderful trough box and her tutorial on how to make her cotton branches.
Thrifting
Gina @ Victorian Wanna Be shared her lovely finds while out thrifting. Wonderful Limoges plates and a gorgeous teacup were just some of the treasures she shared with us.
DIY
Fabby @ Fabby's Living shared her wonderful wall plate rack that her hubby had made for her. Fabulous!
Deanna @ Creekside Cottage shared the makeover that she gave her great grandmother's china hutch. I love it!
Teatime and Tablescapes
JoAnn @ Scene Through My Eyes shared her very cute collection of themed teapots and bunnies as well as other little treasures which she decorates her home with this time of year.
Thelma @ Thelma's Days shared an Irish Tea complete with some lovely green teacups and some home made scones and Irish soda bread.
Recipes
Julie @ Julie's Lifestyle shared a different twist on Mac and Cheese with her muffin recipe. Don't they look good?
Kitty @ Kitty's Kozy Kitchen shared her recipe for a delicious Cottage Pie. I will be making this next time we have roast beef.
Bernideen @ Bernideen's Tea Time, Cottage and Garden shared a recipe for these wonderful Irish Currant Scones. Yum!

Thank you for hosting your lovely party and enjoy the song of the birdies as they return.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting No Place Like Home, Sandi. I always enjoy your beautiful tablescapes, and seeing how other's decorate their lovely homes too.

ReplyDeleteThank you for featuring my great grandmother's hutch I painted. I love the difference it made and I love having it in my home.
What an honor to be featured along with these great choices for this week - many of your choices were among my favorites too. This meme is so special and I find so many inspiring and beautiful ideas here. - Thanks ever so much.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi,
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful features! Love that white china cabinet. I have one like it but hubby doesn't want me to paint it. Your Lavender Rose teapot and gorgeous Serena and Lady Carlyle teacups make me swoon! The yellow tulips make me so eager for spring. Such a gorgeous table you always set! Egg sandwiches are always my favourites for shower and tea parties Happy St. Patrick's Day and Thank you for hosting No Place Like Home! Karen

ReplyDeleteHi Sandi, What a lovely post and all the pretty features are so inspiring. Yes, I will miss Downton Abbey on Sunday nights too. Maybe they will begin a new story and that will fill the void!!
ReplyDeleteLove your quotes. Enjoy those singing birdies and a very blessed springtime and Happy Easter too. Love to you dear one!! xo
I think we need to start a support group to help each other get through our Downton Abbey withdrawal. Apparently, a film version is already being discussed! Thank you for hosting and Happy St. Patricki's Day!

I almost missed the party ! I have been away for so long I thought the tea party was on Tuesdays. I so happy to be joining you for tea this week.
ReplyDeleteThe birds scrounging up nesting material and squabbling over nest sites reminds me it will not be long before I hear baby birds chirping in the trees and mama Robin will be searching the lawn with her half grown young for earthworms. Spring is almost here, glorious spring ! Time to sip tea on the porch and watch the feathered entertainment.
Everything is so pretty this time of year
ReplyDeleteHello Sandi...I have been enjoying all the post so very much lately. Blogging is such a fun adventure in my life. I love seeing what everyone is doing and sharing. Happy St Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteBoth me and my husband enjoyed Downton Abbey. I hope Julian Fellows will came up with similar program and soon. I miss the characters of the show.
ReplyDeleteDear Sandi...
ReplyDeleteIt is always such fun to link up each week with you lovely ladies. Thank you once again for sharing beautiful quotes, décor, and tea time! Have a lovely day.
