3 Ways to Celebrate Spring in Southern Oklahoma

Spring is in the air. As I’m typing this blog post, I’m itching to get outdoors and soak up a few rays of sunshine. Since I can’t get outdoors right away, I’m compiling a short, to-do list to celebrate the season that are all within driving distance of southern Oklahoma. 

Pick Your Own Flowers

Like the majority of women, I’m a huge fan of flowers. I love giving flowers, receiving flowers and even growing them at the cottage. There is something nostalgic about flowers, particularly tulips for me. I remember planting tulips in late September as a kid and watching them bloom in early spring. 

My favorite thing about spring is seeing flowers bloom, especially tulips.

I still plant these colorful flowers each year, but there are a few “pick-your-own” tulip farms that have a large variety of tulips. I hate to say that I’ve never actually been, but I’m making a point to change that this year.

Get Inspired at Vintage Market Days

Vintage Market Days usually pops up around twice a year around fall and spring in either Denton, Texas or Oklahoma City. Vintage Market Days is a nice blend between flea market and home décor shop. 

Rows and rows of booths are filled with one-of-a-kind vintage pieces and homemade items. I always leave feeling inspired and a car-load full of goodies to transition my home from winter to spring.

Vintage Market Days is the perfect place to get inspired for the upcoming season.

Shop Local at the Farmer’s Market

It’s impossible to talk about spring without mentioning farmer’s markets. Ardmore has a small farmer’s market downtown on Saturdays, selling everything from baked goods to fresh produce. I am anxiously awaiting the announcement that it’s open again. 

The Farmer’s Market is a wonderful place to get fresh produce and support local farmers.

There are so many spring activities to choose from this season. What are you looking forward to this spring? Let me know.
