Greetings!

Wow! Spring is here! And it's one of Beauty and the Bath's favorite seasons. Every night after work, I've been doing a little spring cleaning in my garden and everything's budding... as if it magically happened overnight. There are precious irises, daffs, hyacinths, crocuses & tulips popping everywhere around my cottage. And if you look really close.. the azaleas and lilac topiaries have the tiniest buds starting & the perfect lime green of new leaves that are just beginning their journey! I-AM-INSPIRED! There's nothing like this time of year in New England, and we're at the front of the line to kick off our winter skin as we fill the store with soothing herbal remedies, fresh candles, mermaid birdfeeders, hummingbird garden hose stakes, and a great new palette of beautiful finds! Come visit and see what's new and get INSPIRED! Even the freshest little something can bring your nest blazing into this favorite season!

Thought I'd close with a message from Oliver. This was the front of the invite for last Sunday's Easter Brunch and Egg Hunt I host every year. Notice the Peanuts Easter bandana his mommy made him wear! A great time from beginning to end... complete with a visit from the Easter Bunny himself! (Who was that guy in the bunny suit?) There is never a shortage of laughter at my house and I am grateful.



See you at the store.
