Another moment for this set (4) of frames. So far I’ve used them for Christmas, Valentines, Easter, and now summer.

I simply use vintage book pages and slip them in front of the last ones. Very easy and affordable holiday decor that can stay out year-round.

In early spring, a few branches can transform an entire room.

These were cut just before blooming and arranged in a simple vase to open naturally over the next few days. It’s one of the easiest ways to create spring floral arrangements that feel full and seasonal without needing anything elaborate.

Comment BLOOM and I’ll send you the full article with step-by-step instructions on how to cut, force, and arrange flowering branches indoors.

Would you try this in your home this season? 🌸

One of the simplest ways to create beautiful spring floral arrangements is to start outside.

These branches were cut from a cherry tree just before they bloomed and brought indoors to open. With a simple vase and a little time, they turned into one of my favorite spring flower arrangements this season.

Spring arrangements don’t have to be complicated or expensive. A few branches from the garden, placed in a well-chosen vase, can transform a room in a way fresh flowers often can’t.

I’ve linked the pieces I reach for most often when styling arrangements like this; classic, versatile, and easy to use throughout the season.

Bringing a few branches indoors is one of the simplest ways to create beautiful spring floral arrangements.

In this arrangement, I used eastern redbud branches from my yard, but forsythia, cherry, and dogwood all work just as well. With just a few stems and a simple vase, you can create spring flower arrangements that feel natural and timeless.

There’s something about setting the table at this time of year that feels exciting.

Not like a dramatic change like winter to spring in other areas, but something more subtle.

This Easter table came together with pieces I’ve collected over time, layered in a way that feels warm and welcoming for guests.

If you’d like to see exactly how I pulled it together, I shared the full article on my website.

Comment TABLE and I’ll send you the link.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to set a beautiful Easter table, this is a much simpler approach.

Start with a tablecloth you love, layer in texture, repeat a color, and add one seasonal detail. That’s it.

This table was created with a mix of thrifted, collected, and new pieces, and it all came together naturally.

I put together a full step-by-step guide with all the details.

Last week I casually mentioned that I was making pickled carrots… and a surprising number of you wanted the recipe.

They’re crisp, zesty, garlicky, and have just enough jalapeño to keep things interesting.

Zesty Pickled Carrots are one of the easiest refrigerator pickles to make at home. Fresh carrots are packed into jars with garlic, jalapeño, and peppercorns, then covered with a simple vinegar brine that turns them crisp, tangy, and full of flavor.

I’ve linked the kitchen tools and ingredients I used here, including the mason jars, measuring spoons, and pantry staples that make this quick pickled carrot recipe come together in minutes.

You can find the full Zesty Pickled Carrots recipe with measurements on BelleAntiquarian.com.

These bright, zesty pickled carrots are delicious straight from the jar, alongside sandwiches, or added to a charcuterie board.

Once the Christmas bins are packed away, I always appreciate a little visual breathing room in my home. And if I’m honest, that’s usually when I start seeing Valentine’s Day decor everywhere… and feeling zero rush to do the same.

This year, I kept it simple.

Nothing themed. Nothing overdone. Just small changes that make the house feel cared for, not cluttered.

I shared the four things I actually do to decorate simply for Valentine’s Day in today’s article, along with why I think giving your home a break between seasons matters more than we talk about.

If you’d like to read it, comment LOVE and I’ll send the article straight to your DMs. ❤️

The other day I walked into Hobby Lobby for some craft supplies, and I was overwhelmed with the floor to ceiling shelves stuffed with holiday decor.

What are we doing, y’all? It’s all imported junk that will make its way to the landfill. Sad, honestly.

This year I am determined to use what I already have to decorate. When I buy something new, I want to make sure that I can use it in multiple ways.

For example,I used vintage book pages in my set of gold frames, and I’ll switch them out for Easter with some more vintage images.

This year I’m making an effort to decorate using items I already own and love. When I buy new things, I want to be able to use them in multiple ways, like this set of gold frames. For Easter, I’ll switch the pictures out for images from vintage children’s Easter books.

The other items I gathered from my home in shades of red and white. I grouped them and tied some with bits of velvet ribbon.

Five books I’m loving lately:
1. The Bible is for You, a devotional to help you read the Bible completely through. It’s filled with an easy to read devotional, followed by the verses that go with that day.

2. Entertaining 101, I checked it out from the library and loved it so much that I bought a copy. It’s full of entertaining advice, fabulous recipes, menus and advice for pulling the menus together.

3. Every day with Babs, let’s be honest - the hardest part of dinner is coming up with what to cook. This solves the problem!

4. The Southern Living Party Cookbook, my favorite on the list. Parties and occasions organized and menus planned for each.

5. Ralph Lauren: A Way of Living, it’s pricey but worth it. Pages full of inspiration.

Many of these are currently half off.

A little tour of our dining room this Christmas.

The busyness of Christmas when our kids were small was, frankly, overwhelming. Ken worked nights, weekends, and holidays, so the magic of Christmas fell on my shoulders. Now that our kids are grown, I am so happy to continue to creating magic for them. Our home is too quiet when they’re not around. I also came to realize that while Ken was busy working holidays, he missed out on experiences with them. He absolutely loves Christmas, so any opportunity I get to decorate our home for Christmas is worth it.

A peek into our breakfast room at Christmas! 🎅🏼 Santa mugs and jadeite green really make this space feel jolly and festive. This is where we eat most of our meals, play board games, and work on our annual Christmas puzzle together.

Our family loves the jadeite Santa cookie jar, but a close second is the Santa pitcher (Jamar Mallory) that I added this year.

It’s almost Christmas!🎄
