Spring Things

I just realized it is almost time to put the Spring and Easter things away, and I haven’t written about them yet. Spring started here as it usually does with the appearance of frogs. I couldn’t find any little frogs this year, so the larger ones from a few years ago got some company.

The new ones are the two larger ones on the ends. The yoga frog ended up in front of the gourd zebra in its new place. The gourd zebra had to leave its perfect place when we got living room curtains recently. This is the perfect place for the yoga frog, though, since it is right in front of the space, I have dubbed my yoga studio.

I was excited to unwrap the ornaments that we bought in an after Christmas sale at a store in Lincoln Square and add them to the signs of Spring in the kitchen.

I made some new ornaments for the Spring trees in the dining room windows. The fairy and the bunny constructed with painted egg cartons were inspired by Instagram posts and the felted peapod by an ornament I saw at World Market. Their peas had faces, but I went for a more natural look.

I also hung some garlands inspired by Instagram posts above the trees.

It was hard to find a place on the egg tree for the new eggs I bought last year after Easter at Joann Fabrics, but since they’ve gone out of business, I knew I had to try to fit that green one with the white flowers on.

And speaking of eggs, these are the ones we dyed this year. I love the football one!
