Seasonal Saturday and Fresh, Clean, and Pure Friday


It's finally April, my favorite month of the year!  March certainly seemed to have flown by and that's OK with me, since I'm loving the spring rains that we've been getting and all of the beautiful flowers emerging from their winter's rest.

There were so many great posts last week, as there are every week for this weekend get-together, Fresh, Clean and Pure Friday along with Seasonal Saturday, that it's really hard to select just one blog post to feature of the five themes.  But I came up with the following posts and hope that you will give each of the authors a special visit, if you can.


Claudia, from "What's Cookin' Italian Style Cuisine" prepared this beautiful Amaretto Panna Cotta.  She topped these little desserts off so professionally, didn't she?  Claudia's blog is certainly one of my favorite foodie blogs going!


Terry, over at "Moss and Clover" took on a new decorating challenge by using an all-white color theme for her mantel.  It turned out quite nicely, I think!  I love an all-white look, so clean, crisp, and calming!


Just take a look at this awesome little greenhouse over at "Tootsie Time".  Now Glenda, is one serious gardener; while snow surrounds the base of this gardening resource, I realize that it is still a bit wintry in some places.  I guess there's always a way to fool Mother Nature a little bit!


Simone and Bella Luna, over at "Dobermans By The Sea" created this darling vintage apron that requires no sewing at all!  Gosh, just pick out your favorite vintage fabric and make an apron in no time!  Now that's SWEET!


And finally, for the last featured blog post from last week, is "Dr. Laura's" advice on how to clean up our computers to help them run faster.  I know that I need to work on this badly!

Thanks to everyone who shared last week!  Now it's time to link up again.  Yes, you can link up more than one post, that's OK!  Just remember that I gently delete any post that is not related to the theme of how we are living seasonally, or how we are freshening and cleaning up our lifestyles.  No giveaways, no coupons or trying to sell stuff, etc! 

I do enjoy all of the posts that you share and do my best to get around and thank each of you personally for joining in!  If I can't get to it, please forgive me.

Please remember to either grab the button (at the bottom of this blog) for this get-together and/or include a link back to 'la bella vita' ~ ~ it's just good blogger etiquette.  Thanks for your kindness . . .
