At long last, Spring!
We've had some unusually warm weather in Illinois these last few weeks. In fact, many of my friends are referring to 2011 as the "best winter that never was". But today, Spring has "officially" arrived!
I decided to keep my spring mantel simple this year. Since mother nature is cooperating, I simply snipped some forsythia branches, a few pussy willows, and some of the daffodils from my yard. I added some of the smaller pieces from my collection of ironstone, a couple of nests, some lace, and a statue of a garden fairy that was a gift from one of my girlfriends last year.
The only purchase was the "SPRING" letters which I found in the $1 bin at Michael's earlier this season.
Speaking of spring and growing things and GARDENING, I'll be announcing a new weekly feature for this
blog tomorrow....Don't Miss It!
Have an incredible day!
