Well, the day I placed my new spring wreath on my front door, the temperature dropped 30 degrees, there was crazy wind, and oh so cold, but the calendar tells me it’s spring.
Today a short and simple post sharing a $1 thrift store find and a $2.49 hyacinth.
I was attracted to this odd shaped container right away, not only the shape, but the fact it was white.
Scrubbed the container and gave it a fresh coat of paint.
White, of course!
One of my local stores had a display of spring bulbs outside as you entered the store, some were already starting to bloom.
I chose a pink hyacinth for my new pot.
Oh how lovely my little spring project turned out.
Adding a bit of moss to the top finished it up.
For $3.49 I have a sweet spring and Easter piece for my home.
It brings spring inside with a lovely fragrance.
Simple as I said, in fact, there were two of these odd pots but I only brought one home, I’m now thinking I need the other one!
My local store had shelves of flowering spring bulbs on display as you entered the front door, daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths, in a variety of colors.
Needless to say, I brought home a couple of each.
Once I was home, I gathered different size clay pots from my potting area, and some potting soil, to transfer the plants from the plastic containers they came in.
I planted some together, others alone in smaller pots.
Gave the bulbs a good watering, and cleaned off the pots before I placed some of them on a basket tray.
Added a white bunny, and some of my decoupaged eggs, for a beautiful spring centerpiece.
The tray is in my living room now, but I plan on using the pots on my Easter Sunday dinner table.
I decided to top each pot with some moss for a more finished look.
The bulbs will continue to flower, and by Easter, they should provide lots of color to my table.
This is the first time I have done this, but I think it will be something I do every spring.
It is just so easy.
Together, it all feels like spring, and looks like Easter.
Once the bulbs have finished blooming, they can be planted outside for next year’s blooms.
I am sure your local store has a similar display out front.
Pick up a couple pots to bring some spring to your home.
The pots are easy to care for, watering every 3 days, and give them lots of sunshine.
So that’s it, an easy and simple way to create a beautiful spring centerpiece.
Hope you all were inspired, and are enjoying the beginning of spring.
My niece Carrie, had a beautiful baby boy on Easter Sunday, weighing over 9 lbs.
Such a blessing during all the suffering and deaths in our country from the Covid-19 virus.
Heartbreaking.
Me and my sister planned a beautiful baby shower for Carrie.
We planned every detail for months, wanting it to be something really special for her.
After all was in place we unfortunately, only a week before the event, had to postpone the shower due to the social distancing and for the safety of everyone.
We were all disappointed, but when this is all over we will have the shower for Carrie and baby Josh, and it will be just as special.
I needed a tray to serve coffee with cake to our guests, so I decided to make a tray from a thrift store frame.
Took the frame apart and of course, I painted it white.
Printed out old childhood photos of me, my sister, and brother, and a few of my son.
Made a collage on the frame backing with all the photos.
Secured the photos with a bit of glue and added some gold handles to the tray.
Assembled the back of the tray to finish.
Perfect for serving coffee.
My tray is all about family.
I’m sentimental, and mushy, and loving, so when I can use old photos, you know I do!
Love this project so much.
Costing very little to make, but so valuable to me.
