Who says it's too early for a tree?

OK, maybe for a full blown Christmas Tree, but I get antsy to change up the Holiday decor, so one way to get a jumpstart is to bring in my two smallish trees. I like to start adding the evergreens, and bring in a more "woodsy" theme for Thanksgiving.


This little tree is wrapped in a burlap coffee bag from Germany
and is setting in my black goat cart in my Living Room right off the entry.



The "Help" loves burlap you know






(in the evening)



still tweaking...


How do you make the transition between Fall and Christmas?
Only thing is, you can't go in the basement because 
I have ten open boxes of "stuff"
more of the transition coming...

And don't miss the Give Aways that are going on
 over at Fishtail Cottage.
Tracie has one of my necklaces in the Give Away.

Spring in the Cupboard


Spring has Sprung in my Holiday Cupboard.
I call it my "holiday cupboard" because it always gets
decorated with whatever season and holiday is close by.



I found it several years ago at an antique mall.
The two pieces hadn't been made to go together,
but they got married and are living "happily ever after"
in my lower level sitting area.



This is a small tool box with the best green patina around.
I still had some of my green out from St. Patty's Day,
and since Spring is all about green,
it just stayed around.






Several years ago I couldn't find a seed box with flower graphics,
so I found a suitable box and made my own
with old sheet music and Burpee Seed advertisement graphics.
Now it stays here in the cupboard and holds all sorts of odds and ends.

 

My bunny "Mr. and Mrs." are here.









Old Japan teapots, sugars and creamers are a real favorite of mine.
You see them sprinkled around the sunroom, mostly.

 

Old sugar shaker, that was my paternal grandmother's
and some other vintage green shakers.
(who says they have to match?)

 



...and most of you know how much I love my lambs!





...and painted white suitcases stacked on top.
(just painted them with interior wall paint)






Hope you're enjoying Spring Decorating.

too hot, too soon, for me!

love you all,
