Spring Greens and Easter Neutrals

We are finally settling into spring, and with it I'm peeling off the layers that I couldn't get enough of during the winter. 

The house feels lighter and doesn't need much more than a little greenery here and there.

Decorating for Easter

The Easter decorations have finally made their appearance.  I have resisted decorating for spring because it is just so darn cold around here, and the snow never stops.  As I took these photos today we are experiencing yet another snowstorm.  We have well over a foot of the heavy, wet stuff which proved too much for our snow blower for the second time this year.  The wood stove is working overtime and the dogs are in husky heaven.

Bowl Full of Spring for Easter

I found a large wooden bowl at Goodwill for $3,

and right away I knew I would fill it with flowers.

And fill it I did.

Spring Wreaths

Today is the first day of March, and I am so ready for spring.  

Easter is in March this year,

Very early, but I'm ready.

I really wanted some Easter/spring themes wreaths for my doors,

but they are so expensive.

Even the cheapest ones are $20.

We are tightening our budget (even more than we already were)

so $40 for door decor was out of the question.
