I’ve really got an itch for Spring right now; maybe because it won’t stop snowing in my neck of the woods! At any rate, I’ve been searching for fun warm weather ideas {fantasizing really} and I love this one from Martha Stewart. I’ve had this particular lantern/butterfly page bookmarked in my Martha for quite a while and I was happy to see it on Hostess with the Mostess today. Find instructions here.

Cupcakes Apron. $35. {via Two Blonds and A Brunette}. These fabulous ladies created Two Blonds & A Brunette in 2002 after deciding there was a dearth of appropriately chic gift baskets on the market.

PBS Masterpiece theater is still running The Complete Jane Austen. Tonight is part II of Sense & Sensibility so be sure to tune in {part one was lovely}. Check your local listings here. I plan on putting the kidlets to bed & snuggling up in a warm blanket {with a cup of hot cider} to watch the conclusion of this great story. {images via PBS}.

Not only that, I know that if I use OPI my manicure will last a week {which is really saying something for a busy mom!}. The folks at OPI have outdone themselves by creating a…
