first day of spring...

love having this laundry room one side/flower arranging space other side ...especially in spring, when things are blooming and budding and leafing out... I keep all sizes of glass and milkglass vases and tin containers stored here and its easy and inspirational to pull arrangements together...especially in all shades of white and cream...photograph by eric piasecki for Martha Stewart Living

early morning walk in ireland

at my friends' home in county mayo, an early morning walk by the sea and through the gardens is  heaven...

a rainy weekend is perfect for catching up on laundry...I love my laundry room, so love putting on an old movie and ironing all those linen napkins that pile up! the smell of the dryer and using those perfect Laundress washes make it even better... also finding lots of things popping up in the garden, so filling glass vases with snowdrops and daffodils make it even more enjoyable...photo by eric piasecki for Martha Stewart Living
