Spring Has Sprung!

Spring has arrived in my house! I couldn't wait any longer to lighten it up.


I just love adding whimsical vintage Easter decorations around the house. They are so hard to find anymore.


How cute are they?


Someone handmade those awesome eggs. I usually use doilies with an Easter/spring color theme now. Something with pastel purple and pinks like this crochet doily.


I also like to bring out the pale pottery vases to blend in with the pastel colors of the vintage decorations.


A pastel spring vignette in my living room. Even the tray has a spring theme with butterflies. I found that at a garage sale a few years ago.  Loved it too much and had to keep it!


Here's a close up of that darling vintage Easter piece.


Some nostalgia is in order. That rabbit candle was from when I was a kid. The basket holds an egg collection with some from when I was a kid to ones that I found recently. They fit in a vintage egg basket. Except I don't think anymore will!


The rabbit cabbage pottery piece always gets center attention.


I even redid the gumball machine to reflect an Easter scene. It's fun changing it around for the holidays.



In the summer, I found this really cute bunny pillow at a garage sale. It was never opened! Too cute to pass up.


 I saw this last week peaking out of my garden,


It's rainy and gray today, but at least the snow has been washed away.

I am busy preparing for the Vintage Shop Hop on March 2-3 and added spring to my space at the Carriage House.


Here's another side...



Here's a reminder of the Elgin High School Flea Market coming up on March 11. I'm in booth 180 in the gym. There are 170 vendors, new items and vintage treasures, set up throughout the school.

Happy treasure hunting!
