Let the War on Winter Commence! Let the Easter Spring Festivus Begin! { We can’t say Merry Christmas anymore.. does the same go for Easter? } I hated to take down my Boxwood Wreaths.. so I just gave them a new spring up do with pussy willow twigs from last spring, all brushed off and…

You make it all sound soooo easy! But knowing myself and the fact that I seem to have two left hands, I would never attempt it
ENjoy your Spring Festivus! (loved the name….)
Lovely photos as usual.
Yellow tulips. What could shout spring any louder than yellow tulips?! They have not yet begun to peak through the ground here, but they will. SOON! Christmas? Easter? Say it all year, Hope is never out of season.
Amen, sister!
Agree with Sallybr, you make it sounds so easy, I too have to left hands when it comes to crafts. How spring that you have pussy willows in your garden already.
Loving the decorations – very creative and crafty and simple though:) Thanks for sharing – Have a Great One!
Spring has sprung! Doubters, bah! Look here, how can it be questioned? Smidge has brought us beautiful Spring! (You’ve inspired me, friend! You’ll see how, soon.
) Beautiful beautiful, everywhere, everything! and this wreath is one i want to make … and so will my girls! What fun! Breeze through that test tomorrow, Smidge, then fill your belly with good good things! Thank you for today! xoxo
Ah spring. It always brings out the creativity in a person.
Wonderful springlike colours!
Your spring setting looks utterly beautiful
Cheers

Everything is so very pretty and it looks so cheering.
I admire how you can find the time to do all these crafty, decorating type things. I have good intentions but that’s where it tends to end. Sadly! I love how you are bringing Spring into your world. I’m sure the weather will be submitted into following you. I always say, ‘Merry Christmas’ and I’ll be saying, ‘Happy Easter’ too xx
Your post has me excited for spring to come! Time to re-decorate!
So beautiful Barbara and I love the wreath. I did a little Easter decorating yesterday but nothing like yours.
I love and adore the new wreath! You make everything look so effortless. But we know better. You are amazing!!
This is absolutely lovely in every way, Smidge. I love your table…all the silver and thoughtful touches and that burlap wreath. My mama is right! I must make one for our place. Just my style.
Sending love! Happy Spring!
Wonderful how you’re bringing Spring into your home, regardless of what is going on outside its door. All of those little touches — and especially the new wreath — surely make you home special for all who visit. All this and a fast, too? Wonder Woman!!!
I just love your decorating ideas and wish I had I/100 of the storage space you have in my apartment in H K. So beautiful but I have no space and no storage it is just way things are when your mobile. I will just enjoy your beautiful space instead. Good luck with your move Smidge and contact me if you need anything.
Your artistry never fails to impress and thrill! Spectacular, glorious. And a very welcome touch of spring to put a spring in all our steps!
Beautiful! Love love love burlap. Your blog (and photos) are amazing! I’m so glad I found you
I found you today thru the Happy Hour Linky Party at Designing Dining and Diapers where I’m #210. I hope you get a chance to stop by my blog and leave a comment, too!

Smidge – I don’t think you mentioned, how wide is the jute garland you used?
Sorry! The ribbon is 5 1/2″ or 14 cm wide.. I’ll amend the instructions:) xx
Thank you! One last question (I think) where did you find it? I’ve looked on Amazon and at local craft store and 4″ width seems to be the widest I can find…so far. Thanks love!
I would try four inch but maybe buy an extra roll so you can return it if you don’t need it? I bought mine at Michael’s. I did have to phone each store and found one in the north east that had some in stock:) I hope you find some in your area. Do you have a Michaels?

I just love the atmosphere you created! Something about that light blue candle just makes me HAPPY.
I love the spruced up boxwood wreath, too. We used to have a row of boxwoods on our front walkway when I was growing up, but they all came down with something and died. Still, whenever I see a boxwood anything, it makes me smile.
Wow! Your photos are simply beautiful Smidge, I just love them. That little store would be dangerous near me…I’m a sucker for cool antiquey things! I love the wreath, it’s fantastic and so rustic. What a wonderful idea and perfect execution.
Lovely ideas for a beautiful tablescape for spring and Easter.
Ta da indeed! Hope the routine tests are all good
Everything looks so beautiful Barbara! I love burlap…just used it as centerpiece table accents for a shower I hosted…love the rustic nature of it! Love those wreaths! Everything you did looks very elegant and perfect for spring!
[...] Did Someone say Burlap: Spring Festivus!. Note: This blog is too aesthetically pleasing not to visit at least once. [...]
I think your home must be such an interesting and beautiful place….Diane
Everything looks so beautiful! Thanks for sharing
beautiful wreath and wow I love the flowers picture! would love to have you to style my apartment, really could use some interior decoration help. ciao
I’m anxiously awaiting spring! All your photos make me smile, and that ceramic blue bird is so cute.
Just found you. You’re one of the few Canadian craft blogs that I’ve really loved! Check me out at http://www.fynesdesigns.com (I’m in NS)!
Ahh, Smidge, you’re just what I need on a grey day!
Plus, I can fall about laughing at the mess I’d make of one of those beautiful wreaths. Thank you for the smiles.
