Hey, how are ya?
This unseasonably warm weather here kinda pulled me outdoors and off the blog radar for a little longer than I expected!
About a week ago Mr. D pruned our apple trees, and I grabbed several branches to bring indoors and force blooms. After a week, they are budding out beautifully, and bring the touch of spring I needed to our mantel.
I had fun pulling together the mantel decor for spring…
I didn’t buy a single item, just used what I had, and borrowed from other rooms. The picture came from our bedroom, the pitcher from over the cupboards, the books …yup, from the bookshelves, and my favorite picture of Mr. D and his dad fishing was moved from an end table to the mantel.
The books belonged to Mr. D’s mom. They were her school books … complete with her name on them!
I was a little late cutting pussy willow branches this year. By the time I cut them they were already past their prime and looking more like fuzzy caterpillars!
There were plenty of apple tree branches to go around … so I put some on the dining table too
Happy Spring everyone!
P.S. I linked up with The Lettered Cottage Spring Mantel Party!
