Dear Spring,
It’s me, a pleading Minnesotan who desperately needs some warmer weather, more daylight and sunshine.
You’re welcome to show your face around here anytime you’d like.
Sooner, rather than later, please.
I know we say this every year. And you’re probably getting tired of hearing our heartfelt pleas and bargaining requests.
But if you had any idea the sub zero temperatures winter has put us through this season, you’d understand why this year’s invitation is filled with extra eagerness.
Our snow boots, wool socks and winter jackets need a serious break. Our propane guy has seen us way too many times and we’re up to owing seven cases of beer to our neighbor for his plowing services.
So you see, we’re ready. Our pasty white skin is in need of some color. Our yard is pleading for rain and sunshine. Our cabins want to come out of hibernating and our boats are being called back to the lake.
And guess what? We know you’re ready too. You’ve been teasing us with these 30 and 40 degree days. You’ve melted a lot of the snow. You’ve even let us drive a few times with the windows cracked!
We know winter puts up a tough fight. The straight days of -40+ degrees have been proof that she’s not playing games this year.
If none of this has been enough to convince you…
We’ll leave you with this last bargaining chip: if you show up soon, we promise we won’t complain this summer 🙂
All our best,

Kelly, love the wood plank with the flowers and greenery. I feel ya – I know it’s much colder in Minnesota than Georgia, but these chilly tips are no fun!
Thank you so much, Jenn! Definitely no fun, regardless of where you are!

OMG – you are cracking us up! And in the summer in Georgia we are begging for winter LOL. We can’t even imagine what -40 even looks like. BUT your lovely table and centerpiece look amazingly beautiful! Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful tour!
Hahah! Thank you for the kind words, ladies!
I love it! So many beautiful textures! I especially love the pop of grey and pattern the napkins add!
Thank you, Amanda!
Oh, Kelly. I know exactly how you feel. I am SO ready to get some sun.
BUT, your lovely Spring tablescape is beautifully set. Everything from the chippy wood to the greenery and the chevron napkins. It is romantic and oh, so lovely.
Thanks for pulling everything together for this blog hop. it has been a lot of fun. As always.
You’re too sweet, Meegan! Thank you!
Kelly, not only is your Tablescape just lovely, but your post was so great! This has been one of the worst Winters and I am so anxious for Spring! Your centerpiece is gorgeous!
Thank you so much, Michelle! Here’s to warmer weather soon for everyone! 🙂
PS – The south is tired of this cold weather too! We’ve had one of the coldest winters in years and you would laugh at what we consider cold, but I’m so ready for spring. Your tablescape is gorgeous and I LOVE the centerpiece. Fingers crossed that warmer weather is on the way!
Thank you so much, Alli! And yes to all the fingers and toes being crossed 🙂
I love it all Kelly! Using the wood as a centerpiece is such a brilliant idea! And the napkins in the jars are super cute too!
Thank you, Denise!!!
this is a feature on my blog for next week’s Merry Monday party going live on Sunday! love this
Thank you so much for the feature, Laura!
P.S. I love the board! love it! and I just caught you are in MN! My son attends college just outside Minneapolis. Coming from CO he said we have no idea what cold feels like in January! Ha! Off to see him at tennis tournament in S. Carolina! fingers crossed it doesn’t rain! laura
Thank you, Laura! It’s my favorite piece in our kitchen 🙂 What a small world that your son is so close. If this was his first January here, it was definitely a cold one! Hopefully he stays around for the warmer weather and enjoys it a bit 🙂
I’m so grateful that we don’t have to deal with those kinds of temperatures in SoCal. But on the bright side, your table does bring in the spring 🙂 Will be featuring this in a tablescape roundup.
Thank you so much for stopping by and the for the feature, Erlene! Enjoy the sunny SoCal weather 🙂
Love your table!! isn’t it hard to watch all of these southern bloggers talk about their gardens and even doing alfresco dinning when we northerners still have snow!! But I guess it pays off when fall comes. Happy Spring!
Thank you, Ann! Yes, so challenging to hear the southerners say things about 60 being chilly 😀 I do have to agree – fall is the best!
