I’m joining The Decorating Voices Spring Fling party this week of April:
Welcome to the Spring Fluffing party! Are you ready to welcome Easter, with all it’s finery, flowers, and fun? My door is all adorned to welcome our guests, so come on in. The wall pocket (which I found out from a couple of my readers is from Southern Living at Home…who knew?) was put to good use on the front door and shows up perfectly on the black. The picture frame was a yardsale find from last year and I love the two together.
I simply grabbed things from my stash closet and quickly threw this together to hang on the door. I don’t mind brighter colors for spring and summer. Vibrant colors just look so happy this time of year as our flowers are starting to bloom in the garden, so I don’t have a problem using some colorful fake flowers on a door arrangement like this. A cute little feathered friend is hanging out next to a little nest.
So come on in….
Into the foyer…..
I’ve been waiting for you with some sweet raspberry tea and I even baked some banana bread for our festive party.
This year I decided on greens, yellows and whites for the colors on the foyer table. It wasn’t hard to find enough things around the house, especially with my green Bordallo bunny dishes and all the white creamware I’ve been collecting. Those all come in handy for fluffing this time of year.
The green fabric is just a left over piece from my patio project last year and is the perfect size for a runner. Don’t you love the bunnies on a stick? I had the 2 on the right already (sitting bunnies) and found out from my friend, Manuela, that Pier One had the flying bunnies this year for only $2. Get over there and get you some of these!
The very life-like forsythia (that I borrowed from my office nook), I’ve had for several years and found it at JoAnn’s on deep discount a few years ago. I love the springiness of it right now. All the faux fruit was found at yardsales over the years and I happen to have lots of green and yellow.
Grouping all this white makes a nice impact, don’t you think?
I love the bright green reindeer moss that I’ve found at my favorite garden center, Petals from the Past. It’s such a pretty color and I haven’t seen it everywhere. Glad I picked up 2 bags of it.
That’s one of the new plates I found at the yardsale recently.
And the new white tureen holds some fake limes and a little birdsnest.
Another tiny bird sits in a white creamer.
I love this one large yellow and green pear sitting at the base of the forsythia. Sort of like an Easter egg waiting to be found.
I just adore Bunny on a stick! And there you have it…spring at our house this year. I hope you and yours enjoy your Easter and have a blessed year.
So, what are you waiting for? Add your link to Mr. Linky below and let’s get the party rolling!

You are so creative!! This is my first time linking so I hope it worked!! I love your blog!! So many great ideas!!
OK ~ now you’ve gone and done it! Everything in my home looks dull, drab and wintry. Time to fluff a bit. Thanks so much!
Love the inspiration you stir up. One question: where do you store all your pretties from season to season….might be a good post idea for you 🙂

You just threw this together…just threw it!??? Rhoda, oh…my..word! Girlfriend, it’s simply lovely! I’m on my way over for some of that homemade bread!!!
The only bunnies I have here are dust bunnies! I’ve been so busy trying to finish projects, the housework was left behind!

Just beautiful! I was sooo not prepared for the party — I’ll post more this week!
I was just thinking…hey, I recognize that wall bucket (I sell SLAH and have several of those and LOVE THEM!) but then I actually read your post (after I scrolled through the pics five times.) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the bunny plates – I look for those and the ones with holly (for Christmas) everywhere I go and have yet to find them!
I love your ideas…they are beautiful.
LOVE it! You are so talented with a great eye for finding treasures!
I love the flying bunny! I’m crossing my fingers that Pier one still has them! Beautiful entrance you have in your home!

(I had “PLANNED” to start yesterday~~~ operative word being “planned”~~~ alas, got “detoured”!!!). See you later! Thanks n’ hugs, Linda
All of your decorations are so pretty! I especially love your dishes. This was fun. Thank you for hosting ♥
I love all of the decor, especially the door pocket. Michael’s has some right now and I was thinking about picking one up with my 40% off coupon. Very pretty.
