Dirt Road Adventures: Hearts & Flowers

Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures.

Hey Friends, I hope you had a heartfelt Valentine’s Week. It was a week filled with hearts and flowers.

Did you do anything special? We had several gatherings with friends this past week, and it was the best.

We shared a Valentine’s Dinner with our daughter and SIL the previous Saturday. Then, on Sunday, we attended a Super Bowl gathering. I only heard snippets of the game as there was a lot of catching up with girlfriends.

We don’t spend a lot of money on Valentine’s Day except for dining at restaurants. In addition to our Saturday and Sunday gatherings, I think we had three other meals out with friends during the week.

Do you have traditions? Are you a flowers and candy kind of person?

What was your favorite thing about your Valentine’s week?

Now that Valentine’s Day is over, I’m all in for Easter and Spring decorating.

It’s a little cool outside, but the daffodils and forsythia are telling me Spring is just around the corner.

Are you gearing up for Spring? Let’s take a look at all things on the blog from last week.

Adventures I’ve had this past week

Why Didn’t I Think of That?

There are so many wonderful blog posts each week, and I’m sharing some of my favorites with you today.

There are so many creative ideas, and I’m always asking myself, “Why didn’t I think of that”? LOL

I’m so excited for Spring, and if you are a flower lover, you are in luck.

What’s in my Cart

I’ve had several deliveries this week, and I’ll be sharing more with you on the blog as I utilize all my new goodies.

The pillows arrived and exceeded my expectations. They are all three stunning. They coordinate so well together and with my new rug. I’m so excited and can’t wait for you to see what’s coming for Spring.

It’s pretty obvious the colors I’m planning for my Spring decorating? I just received these great blue and white planters.

And this Preserved Boxwood Planter.

I’m still crafting with these new Blue and White Napkins.

These decorative Rattan Boxes arrived, and I love them. They are the perfect size.
