Welcome to Doors To Adore.
Today Kari and Kijsa and Darlene from Jade Creative are hosting Doors To Adore. Kari writes..."Stop by on Tuesday and show off your first impression...your front door at our "Doors to Adore" party with Darlene from Jade Creative. So shine up those windows and dust off your wreaths...Spring Door Decorating is just around the corner."
My door is decorated with this basket of white artificial flowers, which always seems to invite birds to nest. I know artificial flowers...but I live in New England and it is quite cold until May. The pot of pansies are real, but I bring them in when the weather is too brisk.
Of course our dog Samantha, who I adore, is my favorite decoration, as she often rests on the steps to our front door. She even matches the sign on our house. My daughter and I ordered that sign in London before we even got Samantha. 
Sometimes I use a box of forget-me-nots to welcome my guests.
Later in the season, the forget-me-nots are in full bloom.
Last year at Brimfield's Market, I saw this wreath on display. I have been working on a teacup wreath for later in Spring when everything is in full bloom.
Then there is always the door to the Gazebo in May, that needs a Spring Wreath.
This little cottage is nearby and every time I pass this door it seems to say welcome.
A Martha's Vineyard enchanting door.Who can resist an ivy covered cottage door?
A few weeks ago I had to brush the snow off my Spring door. 
I adore doors, especially in Spring. The song for this post is It Might As Well Be Spring...because here in New England and other places in Blogland the weather is not quite Spring. But we can dream, can't we? Our New England Robins are out...but they wear little sweaters and caps to keep warm. Now if you click HERE you will find where you can link your Doors To Adore post, or visit all the ideas for decorating your door.
Oh wow - way too many memories there. It makes me feel so, so old!!!
Fabulous vintage collection

Whow true beauty up here! I still have to put my post up, some things came in between and I thought I could benefit from the time difference and I can. Your post inspired me too. I still have some photos of some very beautiful vintage bedlinens! And now I'm running of, too busy!
omg, I love your vintage things! And i could eat those cupcakes right off the screen. LOL.
Karen, I've given you an award. Hope you come pick it up on my blog!

Beautiful photos of lovely things. I enjoyed your post today so very much. I get very nostalgic over vintage pieces. I think I will visit the slumber party! Hugs, Kathleen PS I want one of those cupcakes, too!
Oh! Everything is so delightful from the sweet little bear to the vintage reading to the fun pick up sticks! But then I found the cupcakes, oh and my mouth is watering. Yum! Thank you so much for the tour :)
A white rose, for me? Thank you! Beautiful white linens :)
I love the bear (ready to go shopping it seems to me!) with a cute little woven purse.
Thanks for playing Karen! Oh, those yummy cupcakes!
Beautiful Karen! Don't you wish we could all do this in real life? Those cupcakes are gorgeous! Maybe too beautiful to eat....Nah!:>)
Wow what a wonderful party. I would come again just to have another one of those cupcakes. I loved your idea of writing to pen pals. That is a memory of the past.

What fun Karen! I remember all the slumber parties I went to as a young girl. You brought back memories for me. Thank you so much. All of your pictures are lovely
Beautiful door, Karen! We do what we can here in New England that's for certain. I love your humor and the robin wearing his little winter gear is beyond adorable. =D
Hi Karen and what a lovely post today! Your door is so pretty all spiffed up with that wreath. Your doggy is the cutest thing and she's even smiling! We traveled to New England two times in the fall and I loved it! Wish I could come back.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Can't think of a better way to enter a home than with a stepping/small stone that says "Believe".

What a great post - love all of the doors you found - especially love yours! What a welcoming front enterance - even Samantha is ready to say hello!
WOW! What fabulous pictures. Your door is wonderful, and of course a dog always say welcome! I will take that little cottage full of flowers with that really cool "fence". Could you wrap that up and send it to Georgia please???~Misti
What a beautiful entry to your equally beautiful home! Love the dentil molding above the doorway! But what I love the very most is that precious dog!!

gorgeous ideas! I love them! Did you make the "spring door" yourself? If so, how did you make it? so great!
And I thought only *my* Robins wore those cute little chapeaux!
That's great door decor!! I enjoyed seeing all of them!
Happy Easter!
Katherine
