~ this weekend, i brought in some fresh yellow flowers from the garden~
forsythia
early daffodils
icefollies daffodils, my faves
and bradford pear branches
~i had fun dressing the fireplace mantel with a spring-time look.
~i hung an old lantern from one of the beams and arranged pretty flowers in the three white vases on the left
~pretty pleased with the results, the arrangement became even better when my daughter arrived from memphis bearing the super cool vase on the right!
such a wonderful and really perfect birthday present!!

~super cute, isn't it?
~thank y'all (that's fancy southern drawl talk, for you all)

~"y'all" in my real life

Beautiful as always. You have such a skill. The only thing blooming here tonight is new snow.
ReplyDeleteLove daffodils and forsythia - 2 of the first signs of Spring. Thanks for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Birthday celebration.
Don't you just love gifts that are so carefully chosen? Your faux bois vase is beautiful. What a treasure. Not only do I love your Spring flowers, but I LOVE the hook you hung your pretty lantern from. Such a unique way to hang it. Love, love love!

Happy Birthmonth... it keeps going and going and...
ReplyDeleteWowwwww it is all so so so beautiful !! nice decorated!! amazing vase !!!....lovely day...may it bring lots of sunshine and love....xxx...
ReplyDeleteOh dearest I MISSED YOUR BIRTHDAY???? I hope it was a great one, and again, you have captured a color that I really have never been big on, but I think that you have the capacity to mix any color with WHITE and it makes it stand out even more. WE STILL HAVE TONS OF SNOW and we are getting a major storm TODAY! The days are getting longer for us, but it doesn't seem right since we are still in the winter mode. It has to be coming, IT JUST HAS TO COME, SPRING!!!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU FOR VISITING; we had a great celebration for our anniversary! LOve, Anita
Happy Birthday my friend...such beauty here today...you have the magic touch for styling!!! I love the yellows......wish our spring flowers were blooming! So for now I will enjoy yours! Hugs for a great Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteErin...as usual you put up the most inpirational post! I love the spring yellow and the white painted pots and everything that you have put with it. Thankyou for this lovely image.

Greetings from Finland
Your mantel is beautiful my friend! All the flowers are so wonderful and the yellow is just soothing to my senses! What a beautiful gift as well from your daughter, it is perfect! I can't wait for things to start blooming here.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day.
Here in East Tenn, we have a lot of bloom going on. Our lovely yellow narcissus are everywhere, the blue squill is in bloom, the hyacinths are beginning to peek at me and I expect to see the little muscari at any time!
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures they are so full of color. They make me feel, like when you put your face up to the sun with your eyes closed but you can feel the light.
ReplyDeleteWanted to look at Spring, so I came back to visit once more.... so soothing here with the mellow yellow and mellow tunes...
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful tomorrow dear
