an easter basket for rosemary

spring is on the way, dear readers. i am anticipating the season of new growth and life surrounding us; to breathe and bathe in it. do you hear the birds where you are? listening out the window near my writer’s book- maybe they are perched in our vibrant redbud trees. i hear them singing and ready to welcome little ones.

we are about a month away from easter and i have been enjoying putting together the baskets for all three of my children this spring. it’s so special to be able to gather and curate rosie’s very first one. it is one of my favorite holiday traditions and i usually try to collect as winter comes to an end. in case you are looking for inspiration, here are some ideas for a baby girl. i hope to share the boys’ baskets soon … still collecting a few things for each one of them.
