Dining with Birds and Bunnies!!!!

I have "Springified my kitchen, breakfast room, mantle and coffee table so far! I set this new table and wanted to share it with you. I hope you like it and will come back to see the rest of my Spring!!!! I made a new centerpiece. You may remember this box with the chalkboard on the front. I found this wonderful bunny platter at Home Goods and knew just what I would do with it. I love that it is green and cream, I am getting away from all the pastels right now and am LOVING using greens and whites.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9b0akEEUbLlu1N0Rhryk_EVS8STklH5sXryF4row78c1ZIlRnE56gnYnU3myPOxVS55XpK0woyD1yvexX8SPfWWmozmDI4tytVXirVxjFq47gyDeZtpdDXpcI8Py81wgD7QSZfC6mVDk/s1600/IMG_0346.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9b0akEEUbLlu1N0Rhryk_EVS8STklH5sXryF4row78c1ZIlRnE56gnYnU3myPOxVS55XpK0woyD1yvexX8SPfWWmozmDI4tytVXirVxjFq47gyDeZtpdDXpcI8Py81wgD7QSZfC6mVDk/s1600/IMG_0346.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> With the platter I added a nest, a gardening shovel, a votive candle in a green cup and a bird house.

~~~My Spring Mantle~~~

The winds are HOWLING outside and the temps are dropping like a stone but we had 2 beautiful days in the 60's so I decided to put away ALL the winter decor and get the house ready for Spring. I just hope it gets here one of these days!!! I started with my mantle so will share that first. Forsythia just says Spring to me so I used Forsythia, yellow with green tulips, a tiny white flower, some long creamy branches and some sticks for the arrangements in the vases.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
