That's it. Winter and I are officially over. Never mind that I can't see the ground for the grungy snow. Never mind that it is supposed to be in the 20's all week. Never mind. I've seen the bluebird, It rained today and hit 4o degrees. Yesterday I went out to my car, in the bright morning sunshine and the birds were singing! I cleared out the hutch in the dining room today and replaced all the silver and white with flower sprigged tea cups, ivy and birds. In the northeast corner of my dining room it is now spring. I was totally inspired by Mary and this blog (what beautiful inspiration!) I got the green depression glass sunflower cake plate at a garage sale last year for $3. It really seems to glow in the light and gives a nice spring green aura to everything in the hutch. I have been bustling around after church, cleaning, reorganizing, making spring. It feels good. I had gotten so far behind. Time to go make spring in another corner. My family just smiles and shake their heads, but they know I come alive in the spring and they can't begrudge me my fantasies of springtime in February:>)

Amy
I'm working on spring here too.
ReplyDeleteKathy,I know your hutch is just beautiful,from the look of the pic here.

Beautiful photo Kathy, love that green glass and how it glows. We imagine you would be so looking forward to Spring after that looong cold winter :) Jenn and Jacqui
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Perhaps if we all just ignore winter it will go away sooner. Love the teacup and saucer :-) Rosie
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, I'm looking forward to Spring too. what a pretty vignette. I love green depression glass and your tea cup with the little eggs is precious. Linda
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photograph! This morning I walked the dogs and the birds were singing! The first time I've noticed in many months. The temp is supposed to be almost 60 so they must have got the memo and came out this morning!
ReplyDeleteThe birds were singing here yesterday, too. Yay!!! Love your creation under glass -- the teacup with eggs and ivy is just so beautiful! I'd love to see other pics of your "spring" hutch.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful week, and that all that nasty snow melts. Wel, some of it anyway -- we don't want a flood, right?
xoxo,
Mary

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice creation! Jusr keep staring and staring at it! Spring will be here eventually...these teases of 40 degrees and birds singing have got to stay!!
Oh, such a beautiful setting. You have such an artists' eye, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteI am still not ready to let winter and big, toasty fires in my wood burning stove go but I will welcome summer, too. Spring is not a very good time in my area of West Texas. We have high winds and when the wind blows here, so does the dirt. Big, bad sandstorms! Not fun, at all.
I am ready to clear out all the winter decorations and start making things look a little lighter, tho.
hugs, bj
Love it Kathey so pretty! Great job.
ReplyDeleteI love your vignette! Wonderfully pictured! and I totally agree...spring just has to be around the corner.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely with you on this one!! I have broken it off with Old Man Winter for sure. =) Blessings... Polly
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful display. I am so ready for spring. I am trying to get some garden things done now.
ReplyDeleteThanks- for visiting my blog

Kathy, what a beautiful spring display. I love that green depression glass platter.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done anything for spring yet...I have been thinking about the two lions planters on either side of my door outside, but it is still a bit cool even here in NC for spring planting...soon..
Hugs,
Penny
**Shhhh!**
