Sharing Shadymont, My Mountain Cottage

I have slowly worked on adding more Spring decor to our home.  I've had a difficult time deciding what I want on the mantel this year.  I think I may have finally settled on this. It's hard to see, but the gate holds a bird, and a real bird's nest with five robin eggs. I've used two of the three pots shown below to add some color to the mantel. The greenery came from DT a year or so ago. I changed out the items in this little tote from Michael's. It sits on the coffee table in the family room. I added this ceramic rose to the pedestal I showed you recently. I'm enjoying this painted turquoise. I reworked an old wreath for the front door.  I wired on these three stems with nest and egg to the wreath, added DT flowers, and old bow I had in my stash. I tweaked this vignette in the sunroom.  I added DT flowers to the small mason jar, and added these sweet rabbits, also from DT. Aren't...

I've been bringing more Spring items into our rooms even though I'm not sure Spring is here quite yet.   It was around 64 degrees this morning when I left for work, and now at 9:00 PM, it's down to 45 and supposed to be 34 in the morning.  Kinda wonky weather in North Georgia.  I did notice the weeping cherry trees are starting to bud, though, so maybe it won't be much longer . How do you like my little Mommy and Baby rabbits?  I found this a couple of years ago at a consignment shop. It's Springtime on top of the jelly cupboard.  The window swag is made from a twin size sheet. I found the bird cage at an antique shop, I believe.  There's no way to open it to place anything in it, but I may be able to insert some greenery through the bars.   In the family room, I have a cloche within a cloche!   (Playing with Picasa) And, what would Spring be without tulips? Gotta figure out where I want to put this picture.  Maybe on...
