fluffing my nest for spring

In my post from March 19th, I showed a picture of a green, glass bottle

that I picked up at TJ Maxx. I had it on a stack of books on the buffet

in my living room and was saying that maybe it would look better

with some pussy willows sticking out of it. A reader commented that

 forsythia would also look nice. Yes, indeed!

Lo and behold, I was in a little shop in town this weekend and found

some nice sprigs of pussy willows for $3. Bingo!

I moved the green bottle to the console table and put it
in-between the two red lamps.
What do you think?

At this same shop, I also found a spring candle wreath.

I had this wire candle holder and green candle in a storage box

here at home, so no need to buy those items.

And then I couldn't resist this cute, mini chick pillow.

It's on a small shelf in my kitchen for now.

I "play" with decor quite often, so it might end up somewhere else. ;-)

Found this sweet Lefton figurine at the local antique mall a couple of months ago.

I think the bunny looks a bit evil, lol.

Like objects look better in groups instead of scattered around,

so I lined these bunnies up on the ledge of the china cabinet...

I bought these miniature wooden Easter eggs from World Market

a few years ago, and I know they're made for hanging since

they have strings, but I think they also look pretty 

stuffed under a cloche.

These are just a few of the spring touches I've created in my home.
Flannel sheets and down comforters are packed away; wooly throws
draped over couches and chairs have been replaced with lighter blankets
for chilly mornings and evenings.
Even hubby has been in a spring cleaning mood, with working on
cleaning out the garage and basement.
We still have a lot more work to do, but it's a start.
