A Joyful Spring Kitchen Refresh: Cleaning with Intention and Herbal Charm

on
As the songbirds return and sunlight stretches g ently across the windowsill, we’re invited into a season of renewal. Spring tiptoes in with her apron of blossoms, her pockets full of lavender and lemon peel, whispering that it’s time to open the windows, roll up our sleeves, and begin again. There’s something sacred in the ritual of tending to our spaces — especially the kitchen, the heart of the home. A spring-cleaning weekend isn’t just about scrubbing and sorting. It’s about reclaiming beauty, creating room to breathe, and infusing everyday routines with intention. With a basket of natural cleaners and a printable checklist in hand, let’s refresh our kitchens not with urgency, but with joy — as though preparing the hearth for a new chapter. The Kitchen as a Place of Becoming More than a space for cooking, your kitchen is where nourishment begins. It’s where herbs hang in the window, where teacups gather on quiet mornings, where stories simmer beside soup pots. Spring-cleaning ...

Cottage Mornings – A Springtime Refresh for the Heart & Home

on

There’s something sacred about the hush of early spring mornings —

the way golden light spills across the kitchen floor, how the air carries both birdsong and the faint promise of new beginnings. It’s a time when we rise gently, barefoot and unhurried, and begin to notice the soft stirrings of life returning to the world around us.

In this sweet, in-between season, I’ve been craving a home that feels as fresh and grounded as the garden soil — and so, I gathered inspiration from sun-drenched windowsills, glass jars filled with herbs, and the ritual of spring cleaning with intention. The result is the Cottage Morning Collection — a gentle invitation to refresh your space and spirit in quiet, lovely ways. 🌿

Now available in the Mossy Hollow Farm Etsy shop, this collection is a love letter to slow mornings, herbal comforts, and the joy of seasonal homemaking.

Herbal Windowsills & Printable Seed Packets

Few things capture the charm of a cottage kitchen quite like a sunlit herb garden. The Cottage Morning Collection includes digital TV frame art that turns your screen into a cozy windowsill scene — complete with mason jars, fresh herbs, and the golden glow of spring light. It’s a soft backdrop for coffee sipping, journaling, or simply savoring a quiet moment before the day begins.

You’ll also find a set of DIY Seed Packet Printables featuring vintage-style illustrations of mint, thyme, rosemary, and lavender. These are perfect for organizing your garden stash, gifting to a fellow plant lover, or tucking into your springtime journaling pages. Each design was crafted to feel timeless and handmade — like something you might find tucked into an old drawer in a country cottage.

A Thoughtful Spring Cleaning Ritual

This collection was designed not just for the eyes, but for the rhythm of daily life. Included is a softly structured Spring Kitchen Cleaning Checklist — intentionally created to feel nourishing rather than overwhelming. Instead of scrubbing with haste, it invites you to tidy as a form of care, with breaks for tea, fresh air, and gratitude.

Alongside it, you’ll find two beautiful recipe cards for Natural Kitchen Cleansers, made from simple ingredients like lemon, rosemary, vinegar, and lavender oil. These printable cards double as functional art, meant to live on your fridge, tucked into a recipe binder, or hung near your sink as a gentle reminder of slow, mindful homemaking.

Coordinating Wall Art for a Soft Spring Glow

To round out the set, the Cottage Morning Collection includes two printable art pieces that match the mood of the season — think soft lavender fields, delicate botanical sketches, and a hint of golden light. Whether framed in your kitchen, entryway, or above your herb shelf, these pieces add a touch of rustic elegance to your spring refresh. 

Each printable in the collection was made to feel like a page from a well-loved garden journal — imperfect in all the best ways, full of heart and history, and ready to weave into the rhythms of your home.
