Spring decorations

                                                                             Spring 
I love Subway Art!  I googled Easter Subway Art and found this.  There were many different colors to choose from to match your decor.  It was free online.  The frame is from Walmart.  I think it was only $4 or $5.  

I love lanterns!  They are so easy to decorate seasonally.  I bought these glittered eggs at a local home store.  I'm sure they could easily be made with an egg shaped styrofoam ball.  The moss was from Michaels or AC Moore.  I didn't use much of it for this decoration.  My mother and I got these lanterns from Lowe's after the summer season (at a discount).

I also love decorating vases.  I bought this vase from Michaels for my wedding candy table.  I can't remember where I bought the eggs; I've had them for a while.  

The Live Laugh, Love is my everyday decor.  I do change the candles on top for the fall and Christmas.
The candles are from Celebrating Home.  They no longer have these candles.    
 
My father just happened to be changing out the wooden porch posts...recycling :-).  I asked if he could cut and stain them (with certain dimensions in mind).  I bought these vinyl letters from an Uppercase Living party.  I do have a Cricut that I have made vinyl lettering with.  I have thoughts of other projects similar to this one.     

This is my "green house" that I use inside.  I bought the bird and nest from Simple Elegance in Franklin, NC.  The spring flowers were bought from a Celebrating Home  party.

Signs of Spring

My Snapdragons have reappeared!  They are covering my rose flowerbed.  :-)  

This is my first Iris bloom.  It's not the color I expected it to be but it's beautiful.
