I am so excited about the flowers coming out in the garden that I wanted to bring spring inside the house too. I created a springy little vignette on the breakfast table in the kitchen.
But I decided to move the urn with lavender to the front porch and replaced it with this orchid.
I filled a little glass dish with chopsticks rest and some painted shells that I bought from Kathy's Etsy shop. I am so sorry but I cannot remember the website address.

John bought the stained window candle holder from one of the vendors in the store for $5+.
After decorating inside, I started sprucing up the front porch and had tea there.
The finials on the tea set are blue.
I love my new tea cups and saucers. They tell my story, lol. I don't go to the gym, I garden.
The teacup says, "Life is made better by family and friends."
See where the urn with lavender went?
I bought this pillow for $6 at Walmart last year. I wish I'd bought more. I went back but they were all gone.
This part, I have not changed. It's been like this since spring of last year.
I hang some painted tiles on the wall
How do you like my grasshopper? Isn't he cute?

I hope you enjoyed my little spring makeover. Thank you so much to our hostesses and thanks to you all for stopping by!
Yeah...who can blame you!...with that garden, I wouldn't go to the gym to my spinning classes everyday, either! Love your vignette in the breakfast table. The Life... tea cups and sugar bowl are so cute and so are the ones with I Garden...the urn is beautiful, I had something like it, but I think my daughter took it to her home, she asked me about it and I, who knows what I said! Your patio looks like it's filled with sunshine. Lovely and cozy dear Christine.

ReplyDeleteHey, Christine! It's warm enough already to swim?!??!!! Lucky, lucky, lucky! I just opened the door for my husband as he arrived home from work, and the blustery winds made me shiver. We had a few warm days in the 70s, but now it's back to reality. :-( Your outdoor set up is fabulous! Everything looks absolutely beautiful, and the food...yum, yum, yummy! I love all the oversized insects!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier tonight, and I hope you will enter to win the Mikasa dishes. They would go so great with your beautiful surroundings! Have a great week, my friend! Talk to you later!
