I'm Ready for Spring

I am so ready for Spring. I shouldn't complain, but I'm going to anyway. So far this year we haven't had any major snow storms like all my friends in New England. Sheesh you all must be really tired of snow. Anyway, every year about this time I get sick of being cold and having to stay inside. I long for the warmer days, hearing the birds chirp, and let's not forget the sun coming up earlier and staying up later.(sigh) I know I know I'm just torturing myself thinking about it. Because I am so ready I decided to decorate my living room for Spring. I just skipped on over winter decorating. It's too late to do that because I'd just take it down in a month anyway. So I thought all of you would like a little pick me up today.

Enjoy... just a little preview

















Last but not least is my new shelf Steve built. I'm not done decorating it yet, but I thought I'd show you anyway.




Have a great weekend everyone.

    Mary, everything looks so fresh and springy. I love it all. Your samplers are "springing" up all over and they look wonderful. Steve did another great job for you, wow, that guy sure has talent. I love my corner candle keep and the color is just what I've been looking for. Thank you so much again. Enjoy your weekend and stay warm.
    hugs ~

    I love your spring decorating, especially your new shelf. I can't wait either this year. I went by hobby lobby yesterday and picked up some flowering branches. At least spring will be inside. Vicky

    Love your displays!! I'm getting spring fever and we are supposed to be getting an ICE storm the next couple of day!!

    I thought that gourd garland was eggs-- which gave me the idea to get some of those plastic eggs (not the ones that you put candy in) at the craft store and make a spring garland.....hmmmmmmmm
