SPRING DECORATING





There are so many flowers that represent spring and tulips are among the first.  There are also daffodils, lilacs, violets, pansies, hyacinths, crocus and many other bulbs, etc.  Like so many, I had some fun pulling out some of my spring decorations and linens for today's post.  Last year after the summer I found these two wonderful old pansy tins that I think may have been used for sewing supplies:





I have been following the weather and patterns of snow hitting the New England coast lately and going straight up to our blogging friends on Prince Edward Island.  I always imagine this big dump there at the end of the storms last stand.  I feel a little guilty saying we have had some really lovely spring weather.  Yesterday my husband and I left town and enjoyed a nice lunch and time relaxing.


As we look across town we see the mountain range and realize that we do still have plenty of snow up there on Pike's Peak. The Peak has an elevation of 14,000 feet.



There were some little daffodils blooming in my backyard so I picked a few for this little vase.

    Hi Bernideen! So nice to see spring...well, springing...in your home! Lovely Love the linens and the double ducky! Your china is perfect. We are way low on snow for the season...the dreaded El Nino "D" word...drought...has been talked about. Thanks for hosting.

    Hi Bernideen,
    What a lovely setting you have for us today! Those little daffodils are adorable and certainly add a pretty touch of springtime to your table. Love the eggs too.

    We have just had our third snowstorm in seven days. We Islanders are all quite weary of the white stuff. With the mountains of snow in our yard, I'm certain I won't see grass for at least six weeks or more and this very cold weather we are having won't cause it to melt any time soon either. I have to wonder about the phrase 'global warming.' It sure doesn't apply to us here on the east coast.
    I'm glad you are enjoying some blooms and signs of spring in your part of the world. I cannot wait to see grass! Thank you for joining me for tea and have a beautiful day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Hi Bernideen,
    Everything is once again so pretty! Your setting by the window is lovely and what a sweet vintage chick egg cup. The teacups, teapots and embroidered tablecloth are perfect for spring. I love finding daffodils blooming in my garden too. Glad you had an outing with hubby. Such special days! Happy Tea Day! Karen

    Lovely teawares, as usual!

    The snow here is almost all gone. Although the sun is shining, the temperatures are still quite chilly so I haven't put my winter coat away yet!

    A beautiful tablecloth, topper and china Bernideen. You sure know how set a tea table.
    Your flowered eggs look somewhat similar to the porcelain egg I painted.
    Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.
