Spring Vignette

It was so gorgeous here today, that I couldn't bear the thought of staring at our pine cone centerpiece any longer.  Spring will be sprung, I declared, fist high to the sky.  Okay, not really.  But I really did want to springify everything.

I started today with the buffet top.





This frame holds a very special memory for me:  the dried flowers are from my wedding bouquet and the background material is from my wedding dress.  Makes me smile when I look at it.


Should I paint the birdhouses?  What colour would you choose?





These tea-dyed eggs were left over from last Easter so I found a new home for them, nestled in the spanish moss.


 Well, it's a start.  Have you started decorating for spring yet?

This is where I'm partying:

Had a day off yesterday and spent it making the house look like Spring had sprung! Even put out a few Easter decorations! It's been so (strangely) warm here that people are wearing flip-flops!

I'd paint the bird house yellow! Love the way your buffet looks!

BTW, what's your wall colour? Looks exactly like mine!

So pretty! I agree with Carol-Anne, I think yellow would be the perfect pop of color!

It's warm and sunny here, too. All is right with the world again!

How beautiful and tasteful!

Tina said...

Very pretty. I agree something yellow would work.

Ooooh la la! Love your tea dyed eggs. So pretty~

I agree with everyone else the birdhouses would be so cute in yellow. I have been on a huge spring kick lately. I even splashed out and bought some fresh cut flowers for the house yesterday.:)

I have never advocated painting anything yellow, but it will go with the frame (which is a beautiful memento, by the way). I think you could pull it off.

Ohhh, now I need to springify too. :) It looks great, Terry!

Macey said...

No, but that's so pretty!

The birdhouse would be pretty in peach, yellow, or aqua. The whole thing is pretty as is, though.

Lindsay @ Delighted Momma said...

Everything looks perfect! I have done ZERO spring decorating--how sad haha

Too bad you're so far away, Little Crafter would looove to get his hands on the birdhouses and paint them for you. He'd pick blue, but I guess that doesn't really go with your decor...lol.

Love those eggs! Maybe an antique blue or Wedgwood green gor the bird houses to add some more color?
