It was well past time to take down the St. Patrick's Day
stuff and bring a little spring to my foyer table!
I just used things from around my house...love that
and it didn't cost a thing.

The rabbit is vintage Pier One.
I gave it to my niece one Easter and then bought it back
at a family garage sale years ago.
The antique metal pedestal was my grandma's.
The little nest is from my yard...from a finch, I think.
And the polished stone eggs are from an auction.
The hand blown eggs are from an auction, too!
They are actually ornaments, but I thought they looked
more like Easter than Christmas.
The cranberry glass was my great aunt's.
There is not a lot of color here in Ohio yet,
so these Pussy Willows are perfect right now.
And I love the way they compliment my little vintage postcard.
Blue sky and sun today!
And the temps are just hitting 60 this afternoon!
Won't be long now!

Oh gosh I'm first ... I love the Pussy Willow - I used to get sprigs for my mother and add them to her daffodils ... she loved the feel of buds - and then the leaves appeared ... such good value - and the whole Spring Foyer table looks amazing .. and love that you bought your rabbit back after your niece had her share of him!!! Cheers and Happy Easter preparations .. Hilary
ReplyDeleteYou can't get more spring-like than pussy willows and daffodils! I bet that bouquet was beautiful!
DeleteI always love your little table that changes with the seasons, but I do wish you would get that scale put right. No matter what you put on it the pointer never moves. If it cant be repaired at least push the pointer to zero. Oooo, it does irritate me; I want to catch the next plane over and do it for you! Ha.
ReplyDeleteIt's not broken..the needle moves just fine! If I took the vase of pussy willows off, it would go back to zero!
DeleteLook at it here...the books are heavier and moved the needle more...

Oh, sorry. I keep meaning to get some new glasses, but never get around to it!
DeleteSo welcoming and fresh with beautiful hints of Easter and spring. How nice that so many family memories are incorporated. I love it all, Betsy, but I think the glass eggs on the pedestal are my favourite. Having kind of a tough day, so this cheered me.
ReplyDeleteI like those glass eggs, too....I'd never seen anything like them!
Deletelook beautiful Betsy!! I love the nest!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it sweet? Hardly looks strong enough to hold baby birds, but it was in the tree!
DeleteHi Betsy....
ReplyDeleteI did some decorating myself today.....and washed the back windows! Hahaha!
Love your display.....simple and elegant....
I cut some of my pussy willows today, and am quite pleased width what I did with them....
Even did some raking!
Enjoy your evening!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
I should have worked outside...maybe tomorrow! Lots of work to be done out there!
DeleteGot a bunny and eggs on display
ReplyDeleteThe rabbit will be hopping your way
Don't go splittings hares
Nugget wouldn't like sure affairs
They look more easter than christmas indeed
Warming up be nice at every feed
Nugget is the year round Easter cheer
Deletealways hopping here and there.
Never leaves any jelly beans...
I think that's rather mean! ha.
It's very cute! Looks like Easter's on its way.
ReplyDeleteyes, very soon! :)
DeleteMy little corner table is still not decorated for anything, but I still like yours.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I need a foyer.
:0)
Maybe you just need a few weekend! :)
Deletei always enjoy your foyer change. I love that scale and the way you change it up. The eggs are very cool!
ReplyDeleteThe scale seems to be the constant there, doesn't it? It's my way of keeping it simple...then I don't have to find a new place for it. ha.
DeleteThat's a pretty spring/Easter display. I love the chalk/cork board.
ReplyDeleteI've had the chalk board for a long time. It used to be red! :)
DeleteYour pictures are so beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day
Thanks, Manu....did you bring me a piece of that lovely cake? :)
DeleteI love pulling out the seasonal baskets, discovering anew what's inside and making something old into something new and fresh. You've done exactly that - it all looks great!
ReplyDeleteYes...exactly....old things but they are never put together the same way twice, so it's a new look!
DeleteLovely, Betsy! I especially like the pedestal and the birds nest and eggs :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Martha...it was fun to put together!
DeleteYour photos are infused with joy. Beautiful arrangements.
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks....I enjoyed doing it!
DeleteYou are such a great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to move and decorate.
You're going to have so much fun! :)
DeleteYour entry display is always so great to see and you really make quite a show of it.
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks, Larry. It's fun to do...I don't do anything else around the house so I like making this special. :)
DeleteSuperb Easter preparations ~ really beautiful and looks so professional . . .
