We’ve been having some really beautiful spring-like days this past week. Are you seeing signs of spring in your area, too? It makes me so happy to see the daylight staying with us a whole hour longer each day since the time change this past weekend. The little magnolia tree in the front yard of the Dollhouse is starting to flower, and shoots are popping up everywhere in the garden. What are you seeing in your garden? I love, love, love this time of year!
If you’ve been reading BNOTP for a while, you know I was late to trying out Stanley tumblers. It was the Love Shack Fancy collab that caught my attention. If you’re a fan of Stanley tumblers, they just released a new design, and it’s so pretty and perfect for spring!

What a beautiful design! Is this not perfect for spring‽ You’ll find additional pictures of this tumbler here: Stanley Spring Floral Tumbler. It’s also available in other Stanley style tumblers/cups here: Stanley Spring Floral Tumbler, All Sizes.

Because Stanley’s past Love Shack Fancy collabs have been such a huge hit, I noticed today that they have released a few more designs. They obviously know there are a lot of “pink” lovers out here. I think this design may be my favorite of the new Love Shack Fancy releases, although they are all so pretty. Not sure who they have coming up with the designs, but they are so pretty and feminine!

I like how this one has a white background for contrasting with the pink design. Argh—I really love both designs! You’ll find both style tumblers, including some gorgeous blue bow/ribbon designs here: Love Shack Fancy Tumblers.

Okay, how about those awesome sales that I found today! Talbots has a great sale going right now, which includes 40% off any 1 item, and 30% off everything else. Here are just a few of my faves: This green-and-white striped shirt is so striking. The cut is extra long for nice coverage. You’ll find it on sale here: Green and White Stripe Shirt.

This is one of the best deals I’ve found in this sale. There’s just one catch: it’s only available in XXS and Large. I wish I wore a Large, I would buy it right now. It’s on sale 30% off with an extra 25% off. That makes the set just $31.49. If you wear the two sizes that are left, you’ll find this beautiful pajama set here: Organic Cotton Poplin Rose Pajamas.

Pretty pink and white top! It’s on sale for a great price here: Pink and White Top.

Boden has a great sale going on right now, too. In addition to the sale, if you sign up for emails, you may get another 15% off. This blue and white cotton shirt is almost half off. You’ll find it on sale here: Blue-and-white Striped Shirt.

I am crazy about this dress! I think the style is so flattering, no matter your size. I love wrap dresses because they are normally very flattering on and just such a cute, cute style. Currently, this dress is half off its original price. You’ll find it available here: Beautiful Green Cotton Wrap Dress.

It’s also available and on sale 1/2 off in this Paris-themed design. You’ll find it here: Paris Themed Cotton Wrap Dress.

This beautiful Fair Isle sweater would make a great transition piece into spring. I love, love, love the colors! They are calling it a knitted shirt, but it looks more like a cardigan to me, and it’s being worn as a cardigan in one of the photos. If you wish to wear it as a cardigan, you may need to size up a size. The reviews look great, too. You’ll find it on sale here: Fair Isle Heritage Cardigan.

I am in love with this beautiful linen shirt! Soooo pretty! I noticed it’s on sale 15% off with the code XCRM. You’ll find it on sale here: Pink Gingham Linen Shirt.

This top is not currently on sale, or at least I don’t think it is, but I like it so much that I had to include it in this post. It’s mostly linen (97%) with 3% cotton. Love that combination!

It’s also available in this pretty green! I would love it in both colors. You’ll find it available here: Linen Long-sleeve Shirt.

Happy spring shopping!




I gave up using my Stanley mugs – even with the toppers – I’ve knocked them over so many times…..and my ice water always, always leaks out!
I gave them to daughter & purchased two Yeti travel mugs – the child size ones. I absolutely love them…no spillage once they are closed….and they are the perfect size for me!
I love Yeti tumblers, too. I use those in the car a lot and use the Stanleys mostly here at home. Charlotte, you would probably like the Rtic tumbers that I bought around Christmastime. Those somehow don’t seem to leak, even if turned over, or at least they didn’t for me. They had some wonderful designs for Christmas. I purchased several for family and they used them all winter and even took them one of their ski trips. Here’s a post I did about those in case you’re interested in seeing the cute designs: https://betweennapsontheporch.net/new-dishwasher-a-solution-to-scattered-litter-the-rtic-holiday-collection-arrived/
They recently got the red plaid in, in a 30 oz size, that was the one size I wanted but was sold out. I’m waiting for a sale to get that one.
I just like hearing the word…SUMMER… Cute stuff!! franki
I’ve been using Yetis for a while – haven’t tried Stanleys. Last week, I flew with my new Yeti Rambler tumbler and got a lesson in physics. The tumbler has a built-in straw on the cap you can close so it doesn’t leak. I boarded the plane with water in the tumbler. Once we reached altitude, I opened the straw and got a stream of water in my face! LOL! It’s so well sealed, the water pressurized during takeoff. I made sure to keep the straw open during my return flight.
