Early Spring is the time when the earth wakes up from it's long winter's nap and all of nature starts to bud and bloom!
March has come in like a roaring lion here... and the forecast is calling for another 6-10 inches of snow tonight into tomorrow evening. Not what I want to hear...
Since Spring is not outside my window just yet, I'm forcing it to come alive in my dining room...
I am thrilled to be a part of
Over 35 blogs are participating in this Mega Spring Linky Party! What a huge spring event! Stop back at 6:00 PM and join us for The Scoop and The Mega Spring Linky Party!
Come on! Pull out any Spring inspired posts and join in!
In year's past I used to decorate every nook and crannies at StoneGable with seasonal decor. Over the years I have learned to use a lighter hand and be more selective in what I chose.
I'm starting Spring decorating with my dining room.
This year it is all about blooms and nests!
The swan on the dining room table has been replaced with a chippy white greenhouse.
Inside are branches dotted with white cherry blossoms and a brambly nest with eggs.
I call it...
SPRING UNDER GLASS
Two more large cherry blossom branches gracefully grow up from a large hand blown bottle on the buffet. I purchased these blooms from HomeGoods. They are so realistic!
Little wooden bird on clothespins perch on the cherry blossom branches...
This sweet little nest is captured under a cloche and perched on a stack of white dishes!
So simple!
Stop back here this evening at 6:00 est and join in

Light and beautiful! I am forcing some real forsythia at my house. Clipped some branches yesterday. I have never done it before, so I am not sure how long they will take to open.
ReplyDeletePenny, they will. Forsythias are so easy to force. And they are beautiful!
DeleteBeautiful! Love decorating with nests! So light and airy! Perfection once again!!~~Angela
ReplyDeleteLove your greenhouse. The blossoms are perfect and the cute birds too. I have the same flowers and will be using them on my mantle. Come on over and see how I "decorate with baskets"! XO
ReplyDeleteI did and left a comment. You baskets are perfection! They work so well with what you already have!
DeleteBeautiful! I love the branches!

ReplyDeleteCherry blossoms are dreamy . . . I love your tall white branches. They're the first thing I saw when I opened this post. Just beautiful!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Suzanne

DeleteAbsolutely beautiful!

Yvonne, really this has nothing to do with Spring although I'm so over Winter. We had another 4" last night at the Jersey shore! I really wanted to tell you that, looking at the close-up of your buffet, it's hard to believe that it was refinished. You did such a great job; it looks as though it was purchased that way...totally professional. Why am I not surprised?!?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much June!
DeleteGood morning, Yvonne! I look forward daily to your blog for my inspiration, and you never fail me. Thank you for allowing me to peruse your home in my pjs and feel uplifted! I'm excited to begin my bird nests project as I've gathered all my items, having fun strolling through the woods around our house and hunting property with my hubby. We even gathered Spanish Moss from a park out-of-town. lol I have a question, however... do you have any recommendations as to where I might purchase some really pretty robin's eggs? I've ordered some online but I don't care for the seams. I pray you've recuperated well from your knee surgeries. Many thanks for brightening my days. Be blessed! Carol in South Alabama
ReplyDeleteCarol, I'm so happy that you are making your own nest. Just one caution... don't use Spanish Moss from trees. They have little bugs called chiggers and they bite and get under your skin and make you itch! Use Spanish moss from craft stores. It has been boiled and treated.
DeleteAs far as the eggs... I put the seams to the side.
Hope this helps! Have fun!
Very pretty, Yvonne. We are ready for Spring here. It was 70 degrees yesterday and it's 24 and snowing.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, that storm system won't be coming north due to the Polar Vortex that is pushing down on it. Maybe that's why it's snow and not rain too. It's also why it's very cold here, sunny, but very cold. Your spring decor is very pretty and fresh looking. I like the white blossoms. Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Spring inspiration throughout your home. We have now moved into autumn and it is forecast to be 31 deg C today! The weather is quite peculiar.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty - so spring! Love the simplicity of it all It brings a light and airiness to the room. Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteCindy
Love, love, love it all! Especially the wooden bird on a clothespin! You are brilliant my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!
Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Love how you did your terrarium, Yvonne! I have one and am always wondering what to put in it. Your nest and branches are simple and make for a pretty Spring display. I need to see how many more nests I have around the house that I can use!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE your terrarium centerpiece!!
ReplyDeletejust beautiful, I'm in love with your conservatory!
ReplyDeleteLove your touches of spring so far!
ReplyDeleteYour spring touches give me a happy feeling in anticipation of the delights of spring. Wish it was springlike out side for you.
ReplyDeleteAll of the beauty you have created and everyone here...warms my heart and gives me that little hope I need. Hugs my friend...
ReplyDeleteYvonne,

I adore the whimisical touch of the bird within the branches!
Thank you for the subtle reminder that Winter is coming to an end.
Little~by~little. . .Spring arrives!!!
