Spring From the Inside Out
Maybe this is the strategy we should try in order to make this Spring actually feel like Spring. Like most of the country, it’s feeling a lot like winter here in East Tennessee.
But maybe we can start Spring from the inside out if we all put out a little more Spring décor.
I don’t mean anything too fancy or difficult. Maybe just a little sprig of Spring here or a bird nest there…
Thrift store urns or containers are perfect for these kinds of arrangements.
Just gather a few spring florals you may have on hand or pick up a few from Hobby Lobby. I re-used some of the stems I used for my Front Door Flower Baskets from last year along with some sticks from the yard.
Stand them in the pot and wire them together…
Stuff in some paper to hold them in…
Then cover it up with a little of this nesting straw or moss…
Hang a little bird in a cage in there somewhere if you have one…
Or stick a nest on there somewhere…
Then you could make a Spring banner using some black poster board triangles, and some mini clothespins and twine.
Maybe put a nest under a cloche and display a pretty thrift store saucer as well…
And then step back and start celebrating Spring.
There may be a cold wintry mix coming down outside like it is at my house at the moment…
But it can still be Spring inside.
It will show up eventually–right? Brrrrrr!

Perfect! Love those twiggy arrangements 🙂
I can't get enough of your dining room. It's exactly what I'd like mine to look like someday!

Great arrangements Julie.
This is just what we do at this time of year. We pop into the garden and we take a small branch of something in bud or blossom to enjoy up close inside in some pretty vintage bottles we have.
