Spring in the Kitchen


I tried to join Kari & Kijsa's Spring Blessings party yesterday, but Blogger just wasn't cooperating. So I just thought I'd show you a little corner of my kitchen today where we are anticipating spring. I'd love to have some real flowers here, but these silk are the next best thing. I love the basket of eggs, and the green tin painted with pansies. They just make me smile. The crocks and the small milk glass Easter plate belonged to my mom.





Lately this little fellow has been joining the fun. I can't believe it's almost Easter.





How do you decorate for spring?

  7. I love your kitchen pictures, always! And I am in awe of your flower arrangements. I was inspired last week and spent 45 minutes trying to construct a spring flower arrangement in a pink willow teacup before I gave up. If you're ever looking for blog ideas I'd love to see more photos so I can shamelessly copy them here. (You went to finishing school, right?) :)

  8. Hi Mary..I love your touches of Spring! I have just a bit sprinkled here and there..although it's not exactly Spring like here just yet.

  9. Oh definitely. I have a large collection of rabbits and spring is their time to shine! I also love to decorate with silk hydrangeas, since I don't seem to be able to grow them!

  12. Hi Mary ~
    I loved the old crocks. I've collected quite a few over the years. Your flowers soften their starkness.
    Hope you're having a good day!

  17. Oh, this was just lovely, Mary. I love the pictures you take. They look like they could be in a magazine!
    I haven't 'decorated for spring' since the boys were small. You have inspired me to do so this year. Maybe I'll even take a picture!

  22. Very pretty arrangement, Mary!

    I'm still in St Patrick's Day "green" mode as I'm having a little party to celebrate on Sunday.

    Next week I'll open the bin I store all the Easter/Spring items in.....a few ceramic and wood bunnies, some collectible eggs,etc, and I'll probably buy some tulips or hyacinths.
    Hugs, Pat

  23. I love your Springy items - bunnies are always cute and after enjoying them for Easter it's hard to pack them away!

    Spring has arrived here - I walked today with camera and took shots of blousy blossoms and chirpy birds!

  25. I knew you would create the perfect Spring vignettes and yes. You surely did!

    I have my St. Paddy's things out now but the bunnies will be entering the picture after next Monday! Easter is SO early!! They will stay up awhile so we can enjoy them...rabbits are always welcome around here!

    Love,

  27. I have missed visiting with you Mary. Things have been so busy here that I am just now able to sit for a minute and catch up on my favorite blogs.

    Love everything (as usual)....especially the pansy painted tin.

    Have a lovely Easter. Cammy
