Well, that did not last long . . .
I knew Peter and his friends would be a bit antsy staying in one place and they have moved on
to another area in which you will see soon. In the meantime, since the table looked a bit
empty after their departure, I created another Spring vignette.
Spring enhancements to the room are happening every day.
I gathered items that I already had on hand and proceeded to create my touch of spring
on the table.
I have had the preserved boxwood topiary for a couple of years now and it has been in the
original container and I thought it was time for a change and I placed it in a
vintage McCoy flower pot.
The lantern is part of a set of two . . . the larger one is in one of the guest bathrooms and
I felt the smaller one would be a great addition to the table.
The ribbon, branches of fern and bird tag was added to the lantern . . . an idea that I got
from the lovely Ann from On Sutton Place.
The bird nest was inside the lantern previously, so I kept it the way it was.
I added a third bird nest and placed some vintage seed packets that I bought in San Antonio
many years ago, Huth Seeds.
Can’t have enough bird nests!
As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, what better than to have a pot of shamrocks!
The flower pot is also vintage McCoy, the same as the one that the boxwood topiary is planted in.
It was great to have found a smaller version of the large McCoy flower pot. My favorites.
I just love changing out my table vignettes for a fresh new look.
Are you ready for Spring?
Have a beautiful day!

Beautiful Shirley! So many pretty details.
We seemed to have skipped Winter and Spring and went right into SUMMER. So I am a little confused how to decorate.
Your vignette looks wonderful and I like how you incorporated all the lanterns and birds nest together.
Have fun antiquing with your friend.
