~~~Adding Baskets to the Breakfast Room Wall~~~

Gradually I am pulling things out and adding some decor to walls and surfaces. We have been here over a year but with taking care of the other house I have not been really "on my game" so to speak. But I see the light at the end of the tunnel so I am having fun doing this and that around here. I love bskets and have been collecting them for YEARS!!! I wish I still had all of them but some got purged, sadly. I am finding places to use them here. So, this is the blank wall that I have been staring at.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc77tY-BVqqfktcAnzLcgeSD1yOddH09dIrRwBbCcK_QXrJbWL2EpHsQDBoKHKKBZNKV88eFgwvofu7iU4tifaQbx9DC3tqvTs-zMKBDw9hO3IMGIdLrgQraoiegjxFxfneQA1DNFjfsw/s1600/IMG_1888.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc77tY-BVqqfktcAnzLcgeSD1yOddH09dIrRwBbCcK_QXrJbWL2EpHsQDBoKHKKBZNKV88eFgwvofu7iU4tifaQbx9DC3tqvTs-zMKBDw9hO3IMGIdLrgQraoiegjxFxfneQA1DNFjfsw/s1600/IMG_1888.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> So, I pulled out some baskets and hung them around the window.

~~~A HINT That Spring is Coming!!!~~~

This morning I went outside, it looked so beautiful. I grabbed my camera when I saw the pond. There is just a TINY bit of snow still on it and the water is running, so I know Spring is coming! We have had wonderful, warmer temps the past few days so I have been enjoying every minute. Spring cleaning is even starting here!!! Just thought I would share a few shots out back. Do you remember when the Asian guy was up to his waist in snow? <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaOnFxREVnxGCsNYvywt6sEw4X1_DX2419xN1b2TddADjCrP5expRrH4kBfHmvRQqx2eBLiBlYv6wOsurPukPQjB24z2fDRRkaEE9mRrpvdGVE2dyV6V_erM6pGDAJotuacAgfC2ddAZ8/s1600/IMG_0143.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaOnFxREVnxGCsNYvywt6sEw4X1_DX2419xN1b2TddADjCrP5expRrH4kBfHmvRQqx2eBLiBlYv6wOsurPukPQjB24z2fDRRkaEE9mRrpvdGVE2dyV6V_erM6pGDAJotuacAgfC2ddAZ8/s1600/IMG_0143.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Can't wait to be able to stock the pond with fish and plants!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjfr7IRFueBbZ2mWHI1nGPm75r5ZvmM2fNPhIM6kfcqTkBVJAeZbTLLr27T34xlq4jxm0OQP_GerWQFzxGe3W8wMoRFbDCpJd5suILd3RCQASXU2sbongAmZCTCq8JuAndsIEZIm2cPto/s1600/IMG_0145.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjfr7IRFueBbZ2mWHI1nGPm75r5ZvmM2fNPhIM6kfcqTkBVJAeZbTLLr27T34xlq4jxm0OQP_GerWQFzxGe3W8wMoRFbDCpJd5suILd3RCQASXU2sbongAmZCTCq8JuAndsIEZIm2cPto/s1600/IMG_0145.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The snow IS melting some.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7wEW3Q3RIye8VR2jDWZHHx2QWbf8DPifp7C6HJAZMw6jwk9ywePzHvQ1-pX3XmwM9q0WiIV5bYRdBWbdCvuxBYBKJTwnT7Xgw3ES07zkRjPd0GPUOsU3fdAYh_NrsUic3rTXFz1l0AkI/s1600/IMG_0147.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7wEW3Q3RIye8VR2jDWZHHx2QWbf8DPifp7C6HJAZMw6jwk9ywePzHvQ1-pX3XmwM9q0WiIV5bYRdBWbdCvuxBYBKJTwnT7Xgw3ES07zkRjPd0GPUOsU3fdAYh_NrsUic3rTXFz1l0AkI/s1600/IMG_0147.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJJleUfyubR8JdlEK6ef9vmGB9T9JfwkoNCdFOMAiyrOOgeUGVS5OBxvS_vECcazirfByVyPnjsMzaKAXPmnnvNLIcC5QZfjCjWTTVye7Xs7G4PRQiRZAIwrPQy2zLXTQbh9Rtwk5F1Cs/s1600/IMG_0148.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJJleUfyubR8JdlEK6ef9vmGB9T9JfwkoNCdFOMAiyrOOgeUGVS5OBxvS_vECcazirfByVyPnjsMzaKAXPmnnvNLIcC5QZfjCjWTTVye7Xs7G4PRQiRZAIwrPQy2zLXTQbh9Rtwk5F1Cs/s1600/IMG_0148.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> But there are still BIG piles left.

Lightening the Table with Spring Touches

Even though there is still snow on the ground (we got another 2 inches overnight) I am LONGING for Spring so decided to lighten up the table with some Springtime touches. Birds and nests say Spring to me and also fresh herbs. In this case my herbs are depicted on my plates! So, I combined all those elements for a new table setting.I didn't do a huge stack of dishes. I started with a very plain tan tablecloth, then a rattan placemat that is trimmed in green. I am sticking with "Spring Green" as my color base for now.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6tNCRwxT9vQNMUIPiaKVHvFSqrhVunUSHVCVOSSGiSErNma-kFglTw2wDNrs0jvI64y4q-BLd_sQyRP3GworPRzapp0Jgcm-mp4ENdUkY6rDNFbRhT0r8i828fMKhqh21knKCIMFV7dI/s1600/IMG_0059.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6tNCRwxT9vQNMUIPiaKVHvFSqrhVunUSHVCVOSSGiSErNma-kFglTw2wDNrs0jvI64y4q-BLd_sQyRP3GworPRzapp0Jgcm-mp4ENdUkY6rDNFbRhT0r8i828fMKhqh21knKCIMFV7dI/s1600/IMG_0059.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I used a square white plate with a brownish edge, then a square green plate, one of my herb plates and a footed bowl.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgAEdEt_yef_BoEzRl3fX-KiVhhNsmdsF8djaSu0GRo7y69akUj01JZJGRVKxuvDHsbxab1PIylZDPd10s-Vlim6RQFJM2dcjkMMhJXlcrs2-eGFslVihOanS36MhbOtkt4v9PkLmdtjM/s1600/IMG_0061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgAEdEt_yef_BoEzRl3fX-KiVhhNsmdsF8djaSu0GRo7y69akUj01JZJGRVKxuvDHsbxab1PIylZDPd10s-Vlim6RQFJM2dcjkMMhJXlcrs2-eGFslVihOanS36MhbOtkt4v9PkLmdtjM/s1600/IMG_0061.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> All topped with a simple napkin in a white ceramic ring.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVH7oTfdrhqygb7MGyWckdmyQBv4OJH86puIcZhmhqryFVFKxrMOGFtOMgdQShMLb-iuukszkDernWe1FQ0VzlGK3fGemICe56MSnRuvV0DBw2puSBz6hb7UYmNB6zc5U1u8-S8oLocxg/s1600/IMG_0062.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVH7oTfdrhqygb7MGyWckdmyQBv4OJH86puIcZhmhqryFVFKxrMOGFtOMgdQShMLb-iuukszkDernWe1FQ0VzlGK3fGemICe56MSnRuvV0DBw2puSBz6hb7UYmNB6zc5U1u8-S8oLocxg/s1600/IMG_0062.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGL3AA8SO6mdjgvKc-E7VcW9_tLtGK-dQSV8uTpa4To-UKtkuPWHrYmX5IMYai3TvaOhcFu96sj2xs4wogYHacuxLk5PiadMG9vHg9DnPg_If9l7FwKz-yd2TbHH_B3kmPliqPIexzkYs/s1600/IMG_0063.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGL3AA8SO6mdjgvKc-E7VcW9_tLtGK-dQSV8uTpa4To-UKtkuPWHrYmX5IMYai3TvaOhcFu96sj2xs4wogYHacuxLk5PiadMG9vHg9DnPg_If9l7FwKz-yd2TbHH_B3kmPliqPIexzkYs/s1600/IMG_0063.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I also decided to mix and match my flatware, "just because" as Pat would say:)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy9-rI3a92zrqmQNi0qWzWDfa5vKGw5McUst51l_KdgfiwiSa2lOXFRUnjC3xN1wZ9GLiUNskbSCT-XH01R23QlgREEQ58u-UpDX5TxekE0qdUEiLbKJMU5YGw0DzIAwnbcTgyfl3ovfQ/s1600/IMG_0066.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy9-rI3a92zrqmQNi0qWzWDfa5vKGw5McUst51l_KdgfiwiSa2lOXFRUnjC3xN1wZ9GLiUNskbSCT-XH01R23QlgREEQ58u-UpDX5TxekE0qdUEiLbKJMU5YGw0DzIAwnbcTgyfl3ovfQ/s1600/IMG_0066.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I just received these adorable bird S and P as a gift.
