Spring Inspiration with Mossy, Woodsy Things

No matter where we live, I think we all feel like the days after Valentine's Day allow us a little shift in our thinking. We may still be in the midst of winter and cold weather, but our optimistic hearts and minds tend to want to give permission to thoughts of warmer weather and "Spring". 


Forår på fad




Last year at this time I gathered some of these wonderful inspiration photos together to start thinking about all things woodsy, twiggy and mossy. It can be 25 degrees outside, but show me pics of nests and moss, and tiny green shoots, and I instantly feel mentally and emotionally uplifted. 






If you missed my post on the Mossy Mini Spring Baskets
 two years ago then you can see it here.






I'm sharing some baskets, wreaths and planters that have a "natural" feel to them. These were some of my inspiration images for the little wicker baskets I put together for that post. I thought you might enjoy them too. I've only found a direct link to a few of them. The rest were lost links that are so common with Pinterest these days. If you see one you recognize as yours let me know. Otherwise the links are in my Pinterest boards that I'll share at the end of the post.

I'm ready for some forsythia, daffodils and hyacinths... all things that might start blooming in this next month or two. Forsythia starts budding in March here in the lower Midwest; daffodils start peeking out in late February. I don't have any blooming bulb plants here, so I'm putting it on my calendar for a definite planting date this fall.

Last year I put together this "Victorian Wild Wreath" 
for early Spring.

What if I get a cheap moss basket at the $1 store and embellish it - could be centerpiece on table, stove or mantel.





So sweet, I like it

    1. Hi there, they ARE all so pretty, but I can't take credit for all of them. Bagged moss and a grapevine wreath can go a long way putting together some pretty Spring bulbs and plantings.

  8. You've always had somee great ideas for spring. I love the moss projects but they are a continuous mess in their shedding! Hard to believe the birds are already nesting, but that's got to he a sure sign of spring coming soon, regardless of the snow predicted. I have some things popping up in my yard but I really can't tell yet if they're daffodils or random, stray liriope at this point. One will be enjoyable, the other work cut out for me. Either way, I am 100%ready and waiting for spring!
