A Bit of Spring Decor

Do you revamp your whole house every season or holiday? I generally don't, though I do like to sprinkle seasonal decor throughout my home. Thanksgiving through the winter holidays is the exception, when I want to bring a festive touch to every room. My home then tends to go dormant through the winter with perhaps a single vignette to acknowledge special days.

But then spring arrives and I want to add cheery notes throughout the house! I thought I'd share this year's spring touches.

Welcoming Spring with a Fluffle of Bunnies

We're welcoming spring in the garden with daffodils and tulips, and flowering deciduous magnolias, redbuds and cherry trees. And I'm welcoming spring on the table with a fluffle of bunnies!

Lucky Enough to be Irish

The saying goes "If you're lucky enough to be Irish, you're lucky enough!"  

 

So I must be lucky enough, having a large portion of Irish DNA in me! And I love to celebrate St. Patrick's Day by singing Irish folk songs (never mind they're off-key), shouting Slainté while raising my glass, and decorating my house with green and gold and a sprinkling of Celtic patterns.

I thought you'd like to see a few of the tables I've styled to get some inspiration for your own celebrations March 17. Just click on the title of each post to see all the details! In several posts I included bonus photos that I took on vacation in Ireland.

I started with a beautiful scarf that I bought in Dublin at Trinity College as a table runner for Celtic Patterns for the Table. I love the repeating Celtic patterns in a yellowish green on an emerald background.  

The Delights of Afternoon Tea Served on a Tray

There's nothing quite like enjoying tea served on a tray. And nothing quite like the delight that comes from pampering yourself with the fragrant aroma of hot tea, sweet treats and fresh flowers. Especially on gray winter days! 

 

 
So today I'm sharing with you an afternoon tea tray I set for myself!

A Table Setting in Blue and Yellow

Inspiration for tablescapes can come from all kinds of sources! Today I was inspired by a rather unlikely one — the morning news.
