Cheerful Spring

March is a tricky month if you’re a New Englander. She’ll flirt with you one day bringing crocuses and sunny skies, and the next, bring a snowstorm. However, we finally seem to be tracking in a good direction with spring weather and it most certainly lifts the spirits. This past weekend my husband and I popped into Cottage & Garden and it was the perfect cheerful welcome as the weather around us morphs into happiness. The Newport shop is one of my favorites. Owners Michael and Jill do a tremendous job curating the store with antique and special garden wares, and the topiary selection is always the best, bar none. Enjoy this slice of spring!
