Hop Into Easter

Hello Everyone! I have to tell you that this is a special day for me being able to join in on this fun Spring Blog Hop. This last year has been a difficult time due to health issues and a major move. So being able to participate makes me feel like life may be getting back to normal. I'm so glad you're here to help me celebrate! Amber from Follow the Yellow Brick Home is our talented hostess for this Easter Hop. Thankyou Amber for inviting me along.



If you follow my blog you'll know we've been renovating a home built in the 60's since last September. It's been a long drawn out situation and we're still finishing up at our previous house, readying it to go on the market. I've had decor and seasonal boxes at both places and some of it's still packed in boxes at our storage unit. As we were moving in February I tried to think ahead and locate some of my Spring and Easter things, but much of it was packed away last August.




So, I'm a little light on Spring dishes and decor, but I managed to put together a few fun things in the Garden Room. I was so excited when buds and blooms started appearing in the new yard and discovered a row of four Forsythia bushes along our back property line. They had been severely pruned back so I had no idea last Fall what they were. When I saw the little yellow blooms opening up I was thrilled.



I had quite a few boxes in our storage room at the old house that hadn't been opened from our last move 5 years ago. I'd forgotten about an Ironstone Bowl and Pitcher securely hidden away. I found them a few weeks ago and thought the pitcher would be the perfect vessel for the Forsythia branches.







I've enjoyed this vintage Better Homes and Gardens colorful spiral Garden Book with still useful info of most types of plants, shrubs, trees and flowers found in the U.S. It was first published in 1951 and this edition is from 1954. It's the same wonderful format of their original cookbook that I received when I was newly married. I still have the cookbook and use it for many "staple" recipes.







My "Bloomin' 'Brella made it through the chaos of the move,
and is here hanging on the old cupboard.



This old drawer had been in my previous office corralling supplies,
but I borrowed it for a bunny hutch this Easter.







My handsome Mr. Bunns likes his little French wagon with some old garden pots.



The Baker's Rack is at home out here, with a few Easter goodies...




and a pair of vintage ducklings in the Seed Box.






An old family quilted coverlet from 40's
 brings in some Spring like floral shades of blues, pinks and yellow.



I love the "Tumbling Blocks" quilt in pastels on the wicker settee 
and use it every year for Spring.



This is my office window looking out to the Garden Room. This space is at the back of the house and was an addition from just a few years ago. The old table had been in the basement at our last 2 houses, so now it's getting an opportunity to show off a little. It opens up for a bigger spot that could sit a few extra people during the holidays.






Right now, I have things still scattered around waiting until I know more about where I want them. Might as well stack some boxes with a sheep on top while I'm figuring out where everything should be displayed.







Thanks so much for coming by. I hope you'll continue the "Hop" and see Marty's beautiful and elegant home dressed for Spring and Easter. Just follow the links below for some wonderful Spring Inspiration.

  10. It is hard to believe from your lovely displays that you don't think you have a lot of spring and Easter decor! All of it is fantastic! I love the bunny with the terra cotta pots and moss in the wagon, and your blooming umbrella is just delightful! Thank you so much for sharing a peek into your home!

  11. This couldn't make me any happier, Debra - you've got your mojo back! It looks so cozy, so vintage, so YOU. I love it all. I am pining for more restful days of playing house. Glad you have the forsythia bushes - they are the very first welcoming signs of spring here in our region (along with early morning chirping birds). You've certainly made your house your home.
