One year when I was growing up, my mom made May Baskets for some of her girlfriends. My sister and I had the pleasure of ding-dong ditching and leaving the springy surprises on the doorsteps of mom’s unsuspecting friends. What a lovely, old fashioned custom to welcome spring in! That sure would make a perfect pop-by gift for some of our favorite clients and friends…
Here it is May 1st and our home’s curb appeal may not be as appealing as we would want. Depending on where you live, it’s a bit too early for real gardening, the leaves are not out and the landscape a bit barren. Without the greenery, flowers and textures of summer, every imperfection in the condition of our home is magnified. So, while we are waiting for the lush foliage that is sure to come soon, a front door face lift can really help. Paint your door, replace your house numbers, update your mailbox, modernize your light fixture, buy a new door mat, pot some pansies…all these things say WELCOME to my well-cared for house.
