Wildcard Wednesday: Signs of Spring......in Review {Part 1}

Can you believe that spring is coming to an end & summer is here?  I sure can't!  Where does the time go?

But since it is, I thought it might be fun to do a little recap of all of the "Signs of Spring" from my home.  {Next week I'll review our garden.}


In the entry {click here for full post}, a few nests & eggs, & a little greenery added a little spring......


.......while in the living room {click here for full post}, some nests & a few pops of turquoise brightened things up.

 



The kitchen got a little spring decor, too. {Click here & here for full posts.)

 


Even the bathroom & hallway got in on the action. {Click here for full post.}


And of course, you can't have spring without a few fresh blooms scattered here & there {click here for full post}.



So I brought a little of the outdoors in {click here for full post}.........

And of course, there were lots of spring tablescapes, too.

Thanks for stopping by.  Join me again next week for a review of the many signs of spring in the garden.

Wildcard Wednesday: Signs of Spring.......In My Bathroom!

Yes, you read it right.  I even have signs of spring in my bathroom! 

But in case you're getting tired of my spring decor, it is winding down......only one more week, then I'll be finished.  I guess that's good since spring is half over, huh?
Because my decor is more "springy" than "Eastery," I usually feel comfortably leaving it up through June, so at least I can enjoy it for a little while longer.

Well, here's a little look at the spring touches I added in our guest bathroom:

 This little trunk sits on the vanity, & its contents changes frequently.......sometimes it's filled with washclothes, sometimes Christmas ornaments, other times greenery, & now it holds this little feathered friend.

Some greenery & moss, along with a nest & a few eggs add to the spring feel.

 

Here's another angle.


Then there's this basket, which rests on the floor near the bathtub.
It's contents also receive a seasonal upgrade.

This old rabbit (or is it a hare?) perches among the greenery.

I love all the detailing on the rabbit, plus that fact that it's all wired so every joint is completely bendable!


And one more "bonus" sign of spring to share with you today.

We have this little niche in the corner of our hallway, which showcases a turquoise urn.
Yes, more turquoise!

Right now it's filled with fresh hydrangeas!





Happy Spring!

Wildcard Wednesday: Signs of Spring......In the Garden

WE HAVE BLOOMS!

The last few weeks I've been sharing some of the signs of spring throughout my house....little touches here & there.....mostly decorations.....but this week we have the first TRUE signs of spring........
the first blooms of the season!


If you remember, a few weeks ago, I shared about the knockout roses & my anticipation of them blooming again soon.
Well, guess what?  They're here! 
Not only did they start blooming this past week, but they took off with a vengeance.....



 There's something about the first blooms that just makes me giddy!  I love coming home after a hard day at work & pulling in the driveway to be greeted by all the colorful flowers!

We have a few other blooms in our front yard as well:







 And see that iron archway leading to our backyard?

Well, slowly we have some roses blooming on it as well......


.....and a couple more close by....


To give you a better idea, here's a few more pics of the yard:

{That's a globe blue spruce, but for some reason, in all the pics, it looks white!}

{You'll have to forgive the bags of mulch laying around....always a work in progress!}


And before I go, here's a few flowers my hubby brought home this week. 
{Okay, I admit, I'm cheating a little because they're not actually planted yet, but I just couldn't wait.  Plus, I had to show off the new turquoise pot I recently purchased at TJ Maxx!  Have I mentioned how much I love turquoise?}

Happy Spring!
