a springscape...

02 March 2009

Don't you think these look too dark and dreary for March?? This is the month we welcome spring! Although, that bright orange Target clearance tag is fit for all seasons...


Nothing a few coats of white and cream spray paint can't fix...

eggs from TJMaxx, some spring branches from the backyard...

a frame from a yard sale with an old picture of my great-grandpa clipped to it...
a couple of white candles from the Dollar Tree...


ahhhh....a fresh breath of spring.

Join Melissa at the Inspired Room this week to share what you are most looking forward to for spring!
I'll be spring fluffing here this whole week~
happy monday!

  1. Love your little bit of spring! Especially the frame with the picture clipped in. We had snow for the first time this winter yesterday so it is funny to think of spring. Course it is supposed to be in the 70's by Friday so.... :)

  11. All of your bits of spring are so delightful. Love everything painted a crisp white. The lantern filled with speckled eggs and quince is wonderful too.

  12. Oh how I love those little eggs! I haven't been to TJMaxx this week but will look for those for sure. Did you get them this year? I love the candlesticks as well and the way that you hung the little picture....too cute.

  13. Melissa--My question for you--What kind of tree is that and can it only be grown in Texas? The blossoms are just stunning!! I am putting away my V-day today and then we'll see if I can't get some spring in this place like you!:)

  21. Hey, everyone! I haven't forgotten about you, I promise!

    Robin~I did just get them at TJMaxx~hopefully you can find them at yours!

    Kristine! I *think* they are called quince bushes, like Christina said above, but someone correct me if I'm wrong. They were here when we moved in and were some of the only bushes we didn't rip out. Since you know I have such a green thumb and all :)
