Hopping into Spring: The Spring Fluffing Party

I’m joining The Decorating Voices Spring Fling party this week of April:

Decorating Spring Fling

IMG_4465

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…..

IMG_4485

I’ve been waiting for you with some sweet raspberry tea and I even baked some banana bread for our festive party.

IMG_4473

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.

IMG_4476

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!

IMG_4459

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.

IMG_4487

Grouping all this white makes a nice impact, don’t you think?

IMG_4477

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.

IMG_4449

That’s one of the new plates I found at the yardsale recently.

IMG_4480

And the new white tureen holds some fake limes and a little birdsnest.

IMG_4481

Another tiny bird sits in a white creamer.

IMG_4484

IMG_4478

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.

IMG_4482

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!

    Wow! I’m not usually a green and yellow person, but you’ve converted me! So pretty! Love those adorable little bunnies on sticks! You’re way ahead of me on Spring decorating, but I have a few things out so I joined the party.

    Hey Rhoda! Your posts always inspire and motivate me…truly they do. I have started a collection of white ironstone as well. The look is so fresh and pretty, isn’t it? I love it with the reindeer moss. I use that a lot in my arrangements.

    Did the bunny topiaries come from Pier 1??

    Of course I was checking out your door container. It’s very pretty. You are good! 🙂

    I love the front decoration! I’m kicking myself for getting rid of a similar container that I used to have. I should have spray painted it white or some color other than light green. Thanks for the reminder about Pier One’s Easter decorations. I’ve been waiting for them to go on sale.

    I don’t remember how I ended up at your blog, but I’m looking forward to poking around!
