Margaret Bourke-White was already seen as a major talent in photojournalism when she was hired as one of the first four staff photographers at LIFE magazine. She quickly demonstrated her abilities when she shot the first cover story in the magazine’s history, on the building of Fort Peck Dam.

The magazine was in its second year when Bourke-White undertook a major photo essay on the manufacturing of newsprint. She followed the process from the beginning, with lumberjacks moving felled trees downriver to the paper mill, where the wood was pulverized and treated and turned into the stuff that newspapers were printed on. The photo essay ran in LIFE with the headline “Portfolio on Paper: Driving Logs from Forest to Factory“

Why was LIFE interested in this process? Well, in 1937 the demand for newsprint was skyrocketing because of the newspaper industry was in its heyday. The U.S. had 2,084 daily newspapers that year, compared to 938 in 2025.

Bourke-White captured all the mechanical details involved in the making of newsprint. But with her artistic eye Bourke-White also made photos that went beyond the documentation of an industrial process. Some of the images fascinate because of the scale, as humans seem dwarfed first by the log piles and then the industrial machinery that turned the logs into newsprint. Bourke-White also captures details such as the spikes in a lumberback’s boots that help him maintain his balance atop waterborne logs, or the patterns created by freshly made newsprint hanging to dry.

If you enjoy this story and want to further appreciate—or possibly own—more of Bourke-White’s work, see some of her most famous images in the LIFE photo store.

This collection of 30 Easter cheesecakes is very close to my heart. Cheesecake has always been one of those desserts I come back to, no matter the season. For Easter I love making it feel extra special, lighter, brighter, and full of fresh flavors.

Inside this collection, you’ll discover some of the cheesecake recipes I’ve created and shared over time. Some are classic and creamy, just the way a good cheesecake should be. Others bring in seasonal touches like citrus, berries, chocolate, or delicate vanilla flavors. I also included a few more playful ideas, perfect if you want something a bit more festive for the holiday table.

What I love most about these cheesecakes is that they’re made to be enjoyed at home, with family. They’re not complicated, but they always feel like a treat. If you’re baking for a big Easter gathering or just for a quiet weekend dessert, there’s something here for every mood.

Friends of a feather. #grickledoodle #spring #sunny #green #kermit #muppets #yoda #hulk #cartoon #art #drawing #funny #humor

Hello again friends. It’s been snowing and Spring does not seem to be anywhere near, but I’m taking matters into my own hands.
I made this pretty living spring wreath using pansies and some moss. 
The day I made it, the sun was shining and I actually sat outside to make this wreath. But alas, it was just a little tease from Mother Nature.

I started by taking the pansies out of their pot…
Soaked some moss in water ….

And wrapped the pansies with the moss…
I used black thread to hold it together….
I then just used the same string to wrap the pansy ‘moss balls’ to the wreath…
So easy and I love how beautiful it looks. To water it, I spray it everyday and because pansies are so hardy, it’s going to last a long time. 

I love it. 
I took a lot of photos because it was so nice outside and I was enjoying the little break of winter weather. Sadly, it’s been snowing
and cold so I brought the wreath inside. I can’t wait to display it outside and for Spring to finally show up.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

much love,

Lucy

It’s that time of year: Easter is just around the corner, and with it comes all the joy of spring’s most delicious offerings. Carrot cake is back, asparagus and arugula are making their seasonal return, and al fresco dining is officially in full swing. And while planning an Easter menu can feel a little overwhelming, these vegan Easter recipes make it easy to put together a spread that feels festive, fresh, and full of flavor.

Whether you’re fully plant-based or simply looking to add more vegetables to your holiday table, these vegan Easter recipes are true standouts. They bring just as much beauty and joy to the celebration as Easter itself, proving that a meal centered around produce can still feel special, abundant, and completely satisfying.

20 Vegan Easter Recipes to Brighten Up Your Table

Traditions vary, but my family typically gathers for Easter in the mid-afternoon. It gives the morning a slower, more relaxed pace and leaves just enough time between lunch and dinner to “rest your eyes,” as my dad would say. There’s no rush to pull together a full brunch situation, and you can graze your way through the afternoon and into the evening. It really is the best of both worlds! That said, more power to the brunch people—there’s nothing like a beautiful spring table in the early afternoon to brighten the day and spark a little extra joy.

And here’s the best part: every recipe on this list works beautifully no matter how you celebrate. From vegan Easter brunch ideas and seasonal side dishes to crowd-pleasing mains, cocktails, and desserts, these vegan Easter recipes make it easy to build a menu everyone will love. Whether you’re hosting a fully plant-based gathering or simply adding a few fresh spring dishes to the table, these recipes are festive, flavorful, and perfect for celebrating the season.

Roasted Carrot and Red Pepper Hummus Flatbread

For a heartier plant-based offering, this vegan flatbread is delish (and simple to whip up!). If you blitz the hummus ahead of time, all that’s left to do is warm your pita, smear on copious amounts of hummus, and top with your favorite veggies.

Classic Easy Bruschetta

As a recent tomato fan (used to hate them, sorry), I’m all about bruschetta as an appetizer. This classic bruschetta is, well, classic. All it takes is fresh tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar to bring those bruschetta dreams to life. Oh, and toasty sourdough to house these gorgeous toppings. It’s a crowd-pleasing appetizer that you definitely can’t go wrong with!

Get the Recipe

Vegan Pesto

I like to call this one “anytime pesto” because it takes about ten minutes to go from blender to bowl and enhances just about anything you pair it with. You could use this to top bruschetta, pair with crudités, or as a “sauce” option with your Easter spread. Whichever way you choose to take it, be sure to top this pesto with lots of toasted pine nuts and fresh basil.

Rainbow Beet Salad

5-Ingredient Citrus Salad

I’ll never stop raving about this easier-than-pie citrus salad. All you have to do is peel and slice up a mix of citrus fruits, top with shaved red onion and marcona almonds, and finish with olive oil, salt, and pepper. That’s it! It’s a whole that’s so much greater than the sum of its parts, and it makes a stunning centerpiece to any table.

Pea Salad with Mint and Microgreens

Einkorn Salad With Charred Squash

In this salad, einkorn berries straight from the husk are tapped as a textural topping that complements each beautiful element in play. You’ll cook the entire kabocha squash until it’s tender throughout, then layer with radishes, mustard seeds, pine nuts, herbs, and—of course—the einkorn. Consider this your new favorite spring salad, unlocked.

The Best Simple Green Salad

This simple green salad with walnuts and fresh herbs is the ideal sidekick to any other vegan Easter recipes you’ve got on your table.

Vegan Butternut Squash Soup

If your Easter table could use something a little cozy, this is the recipe to make. It brings rich flavor and velvety texture, but still feels light enough for a spring gathering. Topped with pumpkin seeds, cilantro, and a drizzle of coconut milk, it’s as pretty as it is satisfying. 

Get the Recipe

Roasted Mushrooms with Thyme and Smoked Salt

In case you missed it, mushrooms are the new superfood. And in this recipe, they’re superstars as well. You’ll take the little gems to the skillet with olive oil, garlic, and thyme and sauté until they’re caramelized and browned. Then, add in a touch of ghee, apple cider vinegar, and dijon mustard. You can serve these alongside a vegan main or eat them as-is—either way is stunning.

Salt & Vinegar Crispy Potatoes

It’s not an exaggeration to say that these are the best potatoes I’ve ever had. As a devout fan of sea salt and vinegar chips, I was immediately inclined to try this OG potato version. And they did not disappoint. Not only are they easy to make, but the recipe only calls for four ingredients that I almost always have on hand. Run, don’t walk to make these—you won’t regret it.

Get the Recipe

Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes

Yes, vegan mashed potatoes are possible and delicious! Here, you’re getting all the buttery, potato-y goodness of traditional mashed potatoes without the actual butter.

You get a healthier spin without sacrificing taste. Total win-win.

Get the Recipe

Salty Dog Cocktail

Grapefruit, vodka, and agave come together to create a vibrant cocktail that’s perfect for spring. It’s easy to mix up and refreshing thanks to the tart grapefruit. The best part? You can batch it with everything but the sparkling water, which you can add to each glass just before serving.

Elderberry Spring Cocktail

Vodka, St. Germain, meyer lemon juice, and sparkling water are all you need to make this showstopping spring sipper.

Banana-Cashew Baked Oatmeal

This oatmeal combines banana, peanut butter, cashews, and cinnamon plus oats and ground flaxseed to bulk up the health benefits. You can prep this entirely beforehand, then either bake it immediately and reheat the next day, or refrigerate and wait to enjoy it straight out of the oven. You can’t go wrong with either.

Hello friends. I hope all is well. It’s been a loooong winter and I’m in need of a little warmth and of course some color.
Today I’m sharing this adorable candlestick holder flower arrangement that is so easy to make but looks so pretty on its own or in a grouping.

You could use floral foam but I didn’t have any on hand so I cut a piece of pool noodle and used that as the foam base.

I simply cut a piece and inserted it over the candlestick holder. You can place it on the top, bottom or middle of the holder. 
I just poked several faux flowers throughout until I was happy. 
To cover the rest of the foam, I glued on some moss. 

I think it looks so pretty and I can’t wait to make this pretty craft again.

The post Flipping Smalls Spring Style appeared first on Artsy Chicks Rule®.

Hello friends. I hope you’ve been well. We had a few days of warmer weather but we’re back to very cold days. During the warmer days I was inspired to create a few Spring crafts. Starting with this sweet ‘ceramic’ butterfly specimen display.  You won’t believe how easy it was to make. Let me show you.

You’re going to need a 3D butterfly; used for scrapping booking. I found several sizes at the Dollar Store.
Paper napkin with a nice pattern. I love THIS one because it has various patterns and it looks like Chinoiserie.

-I spray painted the butterfly with white spray paint. You can also use acrylic paint.
You will allow it to dry completely.
-Take some Modpodge or Glue and spread it over the entire butterfly.
-Take the napkin and remove the bottom layer and discard. Place the napkin on top the glue and gently rub napkin until it
adheres onto the butterfly. Allow to dry.

Once it’s completely dry, spread layer of UV resin. I used THIS ONE. I’ve used it in another project you can see it HERE. 
Once dry, I used some gold paint to paint the edges and the body of the butterfly.

I then used a little bit of double sided tape and placed it onto the frame. You can of course place it inside the frame but I needed to place it over the glass for better photos. 
I love how this turned out and I can’t wait to make more specimens. 
The resin make the butterflies look like ceramic and I just love them. 

Look how pretty they look displayed on this arrangement.
What do you think? Would you try this?

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

much love,

Lucy
