Hello Spring!

 Yesterday was the first day of Spring,

 and even though I'm knee deep in projects

for the spring market in two weeks,

 I took a little break

 to put out a few spring decorations,

and look forward to this new season!

Spring Cleaning

As I was doing some Spring Cleaning and getting ready for a

family weekend, I also put up some

simple Spring decorations

I wanted to keep it simple this year,

eggs in a nest, birds and birdhouse, sprig of cotton

on the entry table;

all white mantel,

lavender and vintage Easter cards,

bunny and flowers and large birdhouse,

and an egg in the Quimper dish,

all fill the living room;

dried hydrangeas,

and white tulips are all I need for the dining room.

Spring Decorating

I seem to be in a whimsical mood this Spring
and the decor reflects this mood!


Grandma's antique cake plate holds a bird's nest basket
filled with pretty eggs,
while a pair of love birds sit below.

I added the little wooden church birdhouses to break up all the glass.


English Daisies are one of my favorite Spring flowers.
They look so special "under glass", but you have to water them every day
due to the tiny flower pots!


In the entry, I went with hydrangeas in a beautiful blue pot.


The White Rabbit makes an appearance this year,


along with a very colorful little cuckoo clock and
little English pots.

 A white birdcage sits on the shelf beside the door,

filled with colorful johnny jump-ups!

Another birdhouse sits on the tea cart
beside a pot of lavender,


 while a pair of bunnies hide underneath!

 More English Daisies and a porcelain bunny

find a home with the Amish goose!

Spring is such a magical, whimsical time of year,
with beautiful flowers and the promise of renewal and hope!

Have fun with your Spring decorating!

Spring!

I have been super busy getting ready for a show and a wedding all taking place on the same weekend!

But, I found a little time this week to get some spring looks together.

 On the dining table, I put out a bright flower quilt, birdhouse, 

a nest-basket of eggs, little white birds and a potted freesia. 

 The entrance table just got a small potted English Daisy and pretty clock.

 This clock is a favorite of the grandkids because the ladybug 

and carrot go around and the frog comes out of the top! Oh, it plays music too!

 For the mantle, I just did a quick redo of things already there,

like the window and sign,

 then added some spring touches like...

 English Daisies under glass

a ceramic bunny

 tiny English pots and pretty blue tin piece

Spring details also include a bunny pillow

and flowers in a birdcage.

 Happy Spring!

Refreshing the Entry

With the new look in the living room, the entry needed a fresh look as well.

This buffet has to stay, there is just no where else for it to go.

I also left the ledge above because I love it.

My daughter brought me this picture from London last year and I finally framed it.

It's London during the time of Shakespeare.

The posts are temporary, looking for a new home.


 I added some fresh springy things, like birdhouses and little pots.
