We are just days away from the official start of Spring!
As much as I was praying for cold, rainy weather a short while ago…
I am now looking forward to the longer sunny days ahead!
With Spring on my mind…
I chose the following links & images to share with you
for this weekend’s lovelies!
Hope they make you feel all warm, cheerful & sunny inside!

>>> Lil Crabe Breakdancing // yourBuddi <<<
It’s been a while since I’ve shared a YouTube video with you. This one has been on my list for a while! Husby & I both LOVE music… it’s always on in our house. Well… breakdancing also has a fun place in our hearts! It just makes you happy, right?!! Super talented… this young man!
>>> Strawberries with Mascarpone Cream Pops // The Design Files <<<
The creators of this sophisticated popsicle say it’s a twist on the traditional strawberries & cream version. This recipe combines strawberries roasted in a balsalmic glaze paired with rich mascarpone cheese! Yum-o!!
>>> Spring 2013 Nail Polish Colors // Butter London <<<
Pantone’s color of the year is emerald green, however, it’s too harsh for Spring nails. Instead you will be seeing most polish lines using a form of mint. The bright tangerine’s of last year will be replaced by pale colors, including light coffee hues, whites, ivories, light pinks, purples, and blues! Pretty…

With Spring comes more dinner parties & hosting opportunities! How about trying this fancy cocktail? This looks like a drink Nicole would make for her guests… don’t you think? She is quite the hostess, if I do say so myself!
>>> Spring Fashion Must Have’s // JCrew <<<
JCrew’s Spring line of clothing includes colors they describe as “sunset shades, sea-glass green, fresh whites, laid-back blues, soft pinks, & nautical navy”… a bold mix of flattering colors! These deck shoes are on my list! I {heart} anything gold + nautical!
