Tuesday Display Chain ~ Spring

Misi at http://1890gablehousemusings.blogspot.com/ is kind enough to invite us all to join in on her weekly display chain and I vowed NOT to miss this week! I’m so sad I missed last weeks bowls because I had some great bowls to post. So this week I am early. It’s Monday night and I’m composing my post so I don’t miss out!


This weeks theme is " Thought of Spring time, accenting with Floral's , picks and vines" and lucky me… I spent all of Saturday decorating for spring! And even luckier for me… it went right along with the theme. :)


Without further ado… my weekend decorating escapades… for Spring!


First… the pie safe area in the kitchen…

I bought this WONDERFUL scale back in January and I have been DYING to decorate with it. I added some Spanish moss (my floral) to that great bowl and a prim little spring bunny holding a nest and bird (more florals) . Then some carrots for color! Fun! I ♥ it! I also got that sifter back in January. You have seen it before and now here it is. :) And there's that little buttocks basket I got for 50 cents too!

I have had this grain bin forever and could never find spot for it. I grabbed some floral foam I bought at the goodwill for 50 cents and made this lilac spray (floral’s) for inside. Also got the lilacs bunches for 50 cents at GW! Deal! Now I love it! So springy! Come on lilacs!

Next I did the shelf to the left…

A wonderful little birds nest (floral), concrete bird, and a framed pic that says “It’s the small things after all.” That is a real birds nest that I picked up after it fell out of a tree. I ♥ it. So sweet.

Next we move onto the stove board where I put an adorable little bunny my mom bought me (Thanks Mom, I love him!) in a wooden bowl with some dried grass (floral) and some prim eggs.  I also added two little Sandicast bunnies. Sandicast animals are so adorable!

An lastly I took a large cranberry scoop and the rest of the foam I had left over from the lilac gathering in the grain bin and put this light box gathering together. I bought all the florals at the GW for $1.50. $1.00 for the picks and 50 cents for the crocuses. The cranberry scoop came from the GW for $3.00 years ago as well as the little lamp. 

I really love this piece! It simply makes me smile every time I see it! Sun shiny!

That’s it for my spring displays so far! I’m sure there will be more soon. Especially since I won a wonderful spring gathering from Misi! Can’t wait for it to arrive!


And a big thanks to Misi for hosting the display chains! Always inspiring! Can’t wait to see everyone else's displays!


I’ll share more pics tomorrow from the decorating. You know it spread farther than just those spots… it always does! :)


Until next time…

Tonya said...

Hi Carmen,

Your off to a great start with your spring decorating! Where did you find the crocus? They look so real.

I made some faux yellow ware eggs and used your Old English trick instead of stain. It worked like a charm, thank you!

Love your displays! My favorite is the one in the old scale and the crocus are to die for! :)
