Yellow Flowers and Polka Dots

It's now spring, and there is more snow on the ground than the last days of winter : (  And possibly more to come.  Lately, I've been working from home and to distract myself from the white stuff out the window, I buy flowers.  This week I went for yellow with forsythias and I'm not sure what the other kind are.

 
 
I hung some sequiny eggs from the branches to get in the Easter spirit.  I also decorated a little broken creamer I had and use it as a pen holder.
 
(Wood Finish Marker ready for any emergencies!)
 
I got the idea from Modern Jane's blog post.  Instead of using a sharpie, I used yellow craft paint and a toothpick to put the polka dots on.  I think it looks really cute, I just wish the creamer wasn't broken.  O well, it does it's job.

Spring and Easter Time

It's almost springtime, though the lingering snow on the ground suggests otherwise.  So it was time to start decorating for Easter/spring. I am loving the longer days and the arrival of lots of tulips and daffodils at the grocery stores. And we’ve even had a couple 50 degree days, gotta love it. Here are some pictures of my springtime décor.
 
(balloons from my birthday in the back, will probably be around for all of birthday month)
 
 
 
I hung a sparkley egg from my chandelier and the beautiful azalea plant is from one of my best friend's bridal shower a couple weeks ago.  The small terra cotta pots on my mantle were also from there, they were the cutest favors.

I found these cute tiny little bunnies at a local gift store that closed during the winter. I couldn’t wait to bring them down from the attic and let them play! I love that they are mid-hop!  Happy Spring!
