Bunnies in the Garden — A Springtime Table

Spring is the season for experiencing warming temps and lengthening days, and for an explosion of new growth in our gardens and in nature all around us. To bring the season indoors we brighten our interiors and replace winter's deep colors with all the shades of new blossoms and the verdant colors of new grass.

 

I'm welcoming the season with a springtime table starring a beautiful jacquard table runner and napkins in a shade that can only be described as spring green! It's patterned with varieties of blooming flowers including tulips, daffodils and lily of the valley. The linens are a deeper colorway than those I used in my first springtime table of the season which was a study in pastels.

   

Spring Flowers are Everywhere — in the House and in the Garden

Have you noticed that spring flowers are suddenly everywhere?! Longer days, warmer temps and recurring rainfalls have together created magic in my garden. And that inspired me to add flowers throughout my house!

Come with me to see where I’ve transformed areas of my home with the magic of spring flowers.

  

Celebrate Spring's Arrival with a Pastel Tablesetting

Spring officially begins tonight at 11:06 pm, but no one has told my garden which had slowly begun to awaken in mid-February with the yellows, whites, and purples of crocuses and daffodils. So I'm more than ready to celebrate Spring's arrival today!

   

Pretty Table Settings for Savoring Tea

Rain-soaked days are perfect for taking some time for myself and relaxing with a cup — or two! — of tea. Rather than just pour some into a mug and flop on a couch, I like to set a delightful tea on a pretty table. Alone with my thoughts, perhaps some soft music . . .

Celtic Heritage Table Style

Early spring is arriving with clumps of daffodils blooming in my garden! March is just around the corner, bringing with it one of my favorite reasons to set a table  — St. Patrick's Day.

     

The Year of the Dragon

In the midst of the dark days of winter comes the first new moon. This year it will occur on February 10, which begins the next lunar year. Millions of people around the world follow the lunar calendar, In many cultures, each year is also associated with an animal from the zodiac. This year it will be the dragon — believed to be an auspicious and extraordinary creature, symbolizing power, nobility, honor, luck and success. To channel a bit of all that I set a table to enjoy a celebration of our own!

  

A Valentine's Table with Flowers, Ribbons and Hearts

What could be more romantic than flowers? Perhaps setting a lovely table to showcase their blooms and enjoy their fragrances on a winter's day. Especially if done for Valentine's Day!

Chocolate and Snowmen

Brrrrr!! Winter has arrived with a vengeance! Here in North Georgia it's 15℉ with the wind chill bringing it down to 4℉. And forecast to be colder tomorrow. (I know a lot of you are experiencing much colder temps and many inches of snow, but we don't usually get truly wintry weather in the northern metro 'burbs.)

 

Our two black labs can't get enough of the outdoors!

 

So . . . what to do? Set up a hot cocoa station of course!
