Almost Spring!

It's only a few more days until it's

officially Spring!

Oh how I have missed my garden bloomers

and green grass.

Just this week I'm seeing buds on my trees and shrubs and the best part is my daffodils are blooming.

I don't have a real forsythia bush anymore

( I need to replace it) but I did arrange some silks with a spring nest on my side table in the dining room to give me some much needed inspiration.

Yellow is my happy color and I love using a splash of it in each of my rooms.

The first bloomers

This winter seemed especially harsh so when the temperatures soared back in the 70's I felt like I had just came out of hibernation! I've started my spring cleaning, rearranging and decorating. If I get really ambitious I'll even have a garage sale next month!

I made a simple centerpiece for my dining room table using Easter grass and some sweet bunny egg cups I purchased at

Wal Mart for $2.98. They reminded me of the Pottery Barn egg cups I saw a

few years ago.

I purchased the galvanized tiered server for 60% at Hobby Lobby last fall. For Christmas I had the server filled with pine branches and ornaments.

I think it will be pretty to decorate with each season and I love the versatility of this piece.

I collect egg cups and these were just too cute to pass up. I layered the green grass with the my carrots, and bunny cups. I sprinkled in a few little yellow chicks too.

Nothing cuter than a baby yellow chick!

I'm so excited it's almost Spring!!

Spring has Sprung!

It's finally Spring and I've been so busy this week that I didn't get a new post finished. I wanted to post something springy to CELEBRATE the first days of spring so this is a

re-run of one of my favorite tablescapes.

One of my sweet girlfriends and her husband saw this adorable teapot in Cracker Barrel and thought I needed it for my collection! Thanks Tina and Don ..so in honor of such a lovely gift I just had to set a little tea party table to celebrate!

The teapot's colors are perfect for my favorite flower petaled cake turned teapot stand, as well as the April Cornell placemats I purchased on my trip to Texas.

I bought these knowing that my favorite dishes would match this pattern. The placemats are reversible and plaid on the alternate side..I love that I can get two looks for the price of one!

The napkins are in the plaid and I added another lime green napkin I've had for years as the color was a match. I added the sweet little bunny napkin rings from Hobby Lobby.

Layered favorites

The teacups are from Hobby Lobby (half-price) and actually have matching plates. I used my little GW found rose petaled soap dishes for a saucer and to perch the egg cups on.

I bought this little topiary at JoAnn's Fabric on sale...it's perfect for a small spring/Easter centerpiece.

I found this pitcher at GW just last week for $4.98. We used it for all the entries of my giveaway (see last post) I love the shape and the flower motiff made it a perfect addition to my spring collection of dishes. I use pitchers for flower vases, since they are heavier and the mouth is wider than most vases.

This adorable bunny was given to me years ago. I just love her..she is so pretty and the colors in her outfit are soft and sweet. I found the little candleholder/pedestal she is sitting on for $1.00 at a thrift store.

I love her shoes......

and purse!

These little chicks were tossed in the bottom of my shopping bag in Texas ...without my knowledge and when I found them their little faces seem to say:

Are you my Mother??

I guess I'm stuck with them since I took them across state lines! In the meantime I made them little nests in my egg cups until they are big enough to lay their own eggs!
