Mantel with a hint of spring...

Easter comes early this year!

It will be here before you know it, so I decided to go ahead and begin to make a few changes in anticipation.

Goodbye Valentine mantel and hello to some hints of spring.

I moved my little pinterest copy cat drawers from my home office down to the mantel.

I just used things I already had, but in a different way or place.

I wanted to include a reminder of the real reason for Easter in my decorating.

I love my old pink alarm clock, even if it doesn't keep time anymore!

Some ironstone holds a ceramic bird sitting in a real bird's nest, found for me by my grandson.

Dried lavender from last summer hangs above the mantel and an old ink bottle, on top the little set of drawers, also holds a few springs. 

We've had a mild winter, with many lovely sunny days.

The crocuses are already blooming and the daffodils and tulips are shooting up through the ground.

I'm sure we'll have more than our share of rain throughout the spring, 

but that just makes the sunny days even sweeter.

Still following,
