Spring Is Here!



In my dreams, at least... Here is a small arrangement of flowers and robin's eggs, that helps me forget the wintry blasts outside. The smaller bowl with roses is a piece of thrifted Rosenthal. The cut crystal bowl was one of my mother's favorite pieces.


Spring is coming; I know it's coming.




Forgive me while I dream on...

  1. Hey honey - I'm in dreamland with you! I can't take much more of the winter blahs. And while today is supposed to be unseasonably warm - a high of 60 degrees - it's going to rain all day with passing thunderstorms. And on Thursday it's supposed to snow again! There go my allergies. COME ON SPRING!!

    Love,
    Julie

  8. Hi Mary. I love the way you try to make some spring inside your home. Spring is on it's way. Hope it gets there soon. When I couldn't stand winter anymore i bought hyacinths and primulas from the grocery store . Both the colors and scent cheered me up. Rhondi xo

  9. Dreams do come true Mary and you will see Spring soon! Such a pretty arrangement - and as always your precious dishes.

    I see buds on my daffodils, amazing as we're still having a very serious drought problem - only water left for 108 days!
    Yesterday the robins were out in force as the temps. reached 70 - many descended on the bird baths, drinking and bathing, so of course I was out there filling them up - don't tell the city, please!!!

    At last I can leave the windows open - great as I'm painting up a storm and my head starts to spin without fresh air.

    So dream on - and enjoy.

  13. There's no need to forgive you Mary. With all the stress and post-flood nonsense going on in my house I am extremely happy to visit with you, look at your lovely photos and dream along.

    But for now, I'm back to dealing with the plumber and the sump pump problem!

  16. Hi Mary, what a beautiful flower arrangement, guaranteed to cheer you up! I love your wallpapered home - I'm rather partial to wallpaper myself, I think it makes a house so cosy. Sadly Mr. Bloom doesn't agree to I have to confine my wallpapering to inside cupboards and wardrobes. One of these days I might just surprise him though, hee, hee ;-)
