Journey Jots #21

Hello, guys! Hope you are well!

Table of Contents

These weeks just seem to fly by. I feel like I just wrote last week’s jots but here we are again!

How are your Easter preparations coming along? Over here, the Easter bunny has prepared a special present for my niece Molly…I’m so excited for her to open it 🙂

And, I found a really yummy recipe for a lemon poppyseed bundt cake that I’m going to make for Easter brunch. Have you ever made a bundt cake? Did it turn out? I’ve never actually baked anything in a bundt pan before so I hope it comes out nicely!

Life Lately

Honestly, nothing too exciting happened over the past week. Except, somehow, our 1/4 cup measuring cup literally just disappeared!

We can’t find it anywhere…it’s so weird! Since we use that measurement quite often, I had to order a new set until the other one shows up. Has that ever happened to you?!

My niece Molly is now eating solid foods, that are obviously very mushy, but she is obsessed with it all!

Also, my parent’s watch Molly a few days a week and my mom has been working with her on core strength.

Molly loves to workout on the big exercise ball!

Lastly, we’ve still been having nice Spring weather! Tilly loves to be able to walk without being freezing cold.

This is one of our favorite walking spots near the Minnesota River!

On the Blog-Journey Jots #21

Last week, I shared three posts!

On Tuesday, I shared a post all about collecting and decorating with vintage enamelware.

This is one of my favorite collections that is so charming and timeless.

Then, on Thursday, I shared a brand new Easter DIY on how to make an Easter Egg Topiary Tree!

With the pastel colors and the green moss, this decor piece is sure to wow all of your guests.

I also shared tips and tricks for styling vintage handkerchiefs.

These old linens are such pretty decor pieces and can be used anywhere!

Coming Up on The Antiqued Journey

This coming week I’ll be sharing how I’ve decorated my home for Spring with a Spring Home Refresh! Then, in a few weeks, come back for the latest installment of the ‘Thrifted Goodies’ series. I’ve found some incredible thrifted finds that you won’t want to miss!

Lots of super fun content coming your way! Be sure you are subscribed to my e-mail so you are the first to know about new posts and merchandise updates!

The Antiqued Journey Soy Candles

I also have an important announcement regarding candles. Last year, I poured a certain amount of candles and when they were gone, they were gone.

But, I’m trying something new this year!

So, in the shop, you will find a listing for ‘Candles Made to Order’. Right now, I have floral and Spring scents available for order. You can choose to order any scent from the dropdown menu.

They are made the exact same way and hand-poured, by me, out of my kitchen. I’m so excited to share them with you! If you order now, they should be to you in time for your Easter celebration!

Inspiring Content from Around the Web
