Spring is Sprung!


Spring is sprung! Well, it’s started to!
After the winter that wasn’t, Mother nature has decided to start spring a little earlier this year, and not a week too soon!
            Snowdrops are in bloom, daffodil, hyacinth and tulip foliage is bursting through the unfrozen soil, and bluebirds have been spotted! And the spring catalogues have arrived, chock full of fresh, new bed linens in leafy greens and sky blue, breezy cotton curtains  and all the springtime accessories you can swing a golf club at! What’s a girl to do faced with all these bright new things arriving in her mailbox daily?
            Well, although the temptation is to repaint the walls, buy new rugs, bedding, furniture and fill the house with daffodils, I will stick to switching my faux fur toss pillows and throw ( thank you for a cozy winter, Restoration Hardware!) and bring out the cool linen covers and sage green throws. The winter table centerpiece has morphed into a springtime feast of white flowers and green moss with a few decorative eggs thrown in as homage to the season, and yes, daffodils are adorning the coffee table!
            It doesn’t take a lot to freshen up a room, or the whole house, and it sure does give you a feeling of immense satisfaction, so go on, it’s time for a change!
