Spring Cuteness Overload! Adorable Smiles To Welcome Spring๐Ÿฅš๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿฐ

Disclaimer: I'm not being paid to promote any products or shops honeys, just wanted to share some adorable, tiny gifts from Hubby that just made my day and thought maybe they'd make you smile too๐Ÿ’–

Hello Honeys, 
Happy new year๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’– Yes, yes, I know dear ones, we're at the end of March really (as I'm writing this, it's 31st March but it might be April 1st by the time I press publish)  I've been stuck.  Trapped.  For quite a long time.  I still am, sort of, but I'm working on an escape plan...   

"Escape from what or where Rosie?" I hear you say.  Well, from a place that isn't on a map honeys.  For me, it can be far too easy to find my way there and far more difficult to find the way out again.๐Ÿ˜ž  

I've been working on a post for almost two weeks now, trying to explain what's been happening and I can't get it to say what I want to say. Maybe now isn't the time to talk about it, dear ones.  

Now is the time for positive things, happiness, anything that brings smiles with it because smiles are sorely needed right now it feels like...๐Ÿฅš๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿฐ

Spring Cuteness Overload! Adorable Smiles To Welcome Spring

Every year I dread the arrival of winter, to be honest I'm not even all that keen on autumn actually, but winter... yuk!  Even when I still had my job, winter brought with it a giant, heavy blanket of ick and the beginning of months of cold, grey nothingness that's only filled by me counting down to the arrival of spring.  If you've ever experienced a Scottish winter, you'll know what I mean dear ones....

Spring though, while it hasn't exactly sprung yet, according to the weatherman it's officially arrived and that's good enough for me.๐Ÿฅš๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ˜Š

Spring Cuteness Overload...


To celebrate (slightly) brighter days outside, baby birds in the garden at the feeders and just an all round need for smiles๐Ÿ˜Š I thought I'd share the latest, smiley additions to our home.  Almost all of them have been gifts from Hubby (thank you sweetheart x) and each of them made me smile๐Ÿ˜Š 

Spring arrives in the kitchen...


New cookie cutters!๐Ÿ˜ Hubby appeared with these a couple of weekends ago and I was so chuffed!  How adorable are they honeys?  I already have a bunny and an egg cookie cutter in my baking collection already though so I think I'll add the existing ones to my crafting things and these new wee cutters can join my baking collection.  I just love them!๐Ÿ˜ 

What could be better than new cookie cutters?  Only a carrot shaped whisk๐Ÿฅ•

This has to be the best, coolest, carrotiest whisk I've ever seen and I just adore it.๐Ÿ˜ A couple of years ago I spotted something similar in a shopping haul video on Youtube.  It was in an American shop called Target I think, but I couldn't find one anywhere (back in the days when I went outside) and I really didn't think we'd ever see them over here.  It's definitely a smiley addition to our kitchen. 

Next is the cutest little salt and pepper set in the shape of a little bunny and, you guessed it, a carrot.๐Ÿฅ•  There is definitely a carrot based theme emerging here but it's adorable, it's making me smile so I'm fine with it.๐Ÿ˜Š

It's so adorable!  Perfect for filling with spring and Easter themed cookies or cupcakes and since I haven't baked in a while it's a great excuse to get back into the kitchen again.๐Ÿ’– 

Last of my spring themed gifts from Hubby was this pack of tiny crafting carrots๐Ÿฅ• I didn't even know there was any such thing as crafting carrots but here they are, in all their cuteness.๐Ÿ˜  Now I just have to break out my other crafting supplies and see if I can figure out a project in need of tiny, adorable carrots...

In case anyone is curious and wants to add any of these wee smiles to their own kitchens, I asked Hubby where he'd found them and he said Home Bargains and Poundland, hope that helps honeys.๐Ÿค—

Garden Smiles ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ


Last item is something I spotted on Amazon honeys.  Do you remember last year I had asked Hubby to add some rails to our back door so that I could grow some herbs there?  If you missed it, you can see the post here.๐Ÿค—

Well, this year, in an effort to make myself go outside, even if it's only as far as the garden, I ordered this pack of assorted seeds...

There are ten different things to grow, with their seeds all sorted into tiny individual sachets.  There are seeds to grow cabbage, parsnips, aubergines, red onions, leeks, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes and.... carrots.๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿ˜„

I've no idea if I'll be able to grow anything, other than my herbs, but Hubby says he'll help and I've been told by a sweet friend that tomatoes are quite easy to grow on the kitchen window ledge.  

I really do want to get back out into my garden, my poor roses have been totally neglected for the past two years.  I need to make an effort.  

What are you planning for the spring and summer honeys?  Are you off on holiday anywhere?  What are you doing over the Easter weekend?  Till next time dear ones, thank you for keeping me company, hugs always x

Hugs Always, Rosie xx
