:: longing to be outdoors

I know it may still be a little early to be wishing for spring, but we've had some warmer temps here in the past few days & I can't help but long for warmer days & verdant green grass between my toes.

It's a blustery & dreary day here, so I thought I would share a little outdoor inspiration to get us inspired for the spring to come. Perfect outdoor spaces do not have to be complicated to be amazing & renewing. I adore the simple setup in the photo above. 

Simply throw some beautiful comfy cushions on the ground under a nice shade tree, add a lovely fabric curtain or sheet slung over a rope or branch...the possibilities here are endless. Be sure to bring a basket of essentials like a comfy throw in case it's breezy, some books & magazines & if you're me some knitting. Add a lovely hanging lantern & maybe a few around on the ground and you can lounge into the evening by candle light. What a lovely way to spend a spring afternoon. 

I cannot wait to create a little space like this in the spring how about you?
