A Touch Of Spring

I need to lighten my decor and start to bring in the spring.  I reworked the vignette on my barrister bookcase, using some bright colors to lighten up the dark corner.  Nothing like a sunshine bright group of lemons to add some brightness.  After putting this together, I was delightfully surprised at how well the yellow and red work together with some touches of green.  I love my red pottery pears...they weigh a ton and could easily be used as paper weights, they are just so darn cute.

I wanted my pineapple to sit atop my pitcher on a bed of green, so I used a tall candleholder to sit inside my pitcher.  The greenery hides the candleholder and the gap around the pitcher.   Whoops, I see the candleholder peeking out a bit between the vine....just close your right eye when you look at the photo closely.

I picked up some of my favorite magazines and enjoyed paging through them this weekend. I so LOVE flipping through a magazine filled with beautiful pictures and helpful articles. The visuals are my favorites. Seeing a beautiful home or ways to make a home beautiful, warm and inviting always brings a smile to my lips. If I was able to time travel or project myself to a differant place on demand, I would always be popping into someones home.....I would try to avoid any whoops moments and not overly affect someone privacy..but pop in and look around, I would definetly do.

I'm a big fan of the Hoffman series of Celebrate magazines.  The Spring issue is out and has some really cute ideas.  Peeps were used for some of the cutest food and decors...peeps, who would have thunk it.  I love the cake with the peeps on top...pure Genius.  Yellow Peeps saySpring!!

If you color your own Easter Eggs, there are some great tips on getting beautiful egg results.
