tea in a floral china cup on a lace tablecloth

Happy first day of Spring everyone! We had such a lovely warm day here, it really did feel like Spring. My sister and I went for a walk, one of my mom’s geese laid her first egg (maybe we’ll get goslings this year), and we had a little spring tea party today.

I made lemon squares, chose out three of my favourite tea cups and then my mom and my sister and I enjoyed a nice cup of tea and a visit. It was so lovely that I think we are going to make a habit of it. Sometimes life can get so busy that you can forget to stop and take a moment to enjoy the nice things in life. Afternoon Tea is one of those habits for me that has fallen by the wayside, as I usually just grab a cup of tea to sip while I’m working on something else (I’m drinking a cup while I type this), but there is something nice about taking a purposeful break, isn’t there?

So, what else did I do this week? I listed a few more clothes, from my closet clear out, in my Poshmark shop, and also spent a few days sewing. I altered a circle skirt that I didn’t love the fit of into a wrap skirt- just in time for warmer weather!

I also did a bit of crafting for Easter, since that is only two weeks away! And finally my mom’s Christmas cactus is blooming again…maybe it thinks it’s an Easter cactus?

Did you do anything fun this week, dear Reader? And how was your first day of Spring?
