    Easter and St. Patricks Day Mantle Decor

    Published: Mar 2, 2015 · Modified: Feb 15, 2020 by momcrieff · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

    Signs of spring? It seems to be the never-ending winter, doesn't it? I am writing this in the first few days of March. And, we are expecting snow tomorrow. And freezing rain. And the snow we still have doesn't look like it'll melt anytime soon.  It's the ugly, dirty snow now.  Spring, where are you??  I did take some Christmas lights off the shrubs today!

    It's March and I need signs of spring!  These signs will have to be in my house because they sure aren't outside!

    I saw these pretty oxalis in the gardening center. So I bought three.  Kind of spring, St. Patrick's Day looking.

    Perfect, to put in my pretty white milk glass vases! I had originally thought I would buy some fake forsythia to put in the vases. But, my cart kept taking me to the oxalis.

    Signs of spring.Did you notice the tin foil at the top of the vase, that I used to wrap the flower pot.  I thought it wouldn't bother me, but it did.

    So I cut some of the top of the pot off.  So it wouldn't show out the vase.  But, I left about ½ on, so that I would have something to grab, when I had to pull these guys out to water them.

    Ahhhhh, better!

    Of course, I had to add some bunnies on my mantle!  Perfect for the upcoming Easter.

    I added my spring outdoor wreath.

    But, you know what makes your front door area look way more than spring?  Take away the rest of the winter/Christmas decor!

    Don't judge!  It's been cold.  And, I've been busy!  But, it's taken care of.

    Keep your fingers crossed, my friends.  Hopefully, spring will come soon.  Because our winter has been too long.  And, we need some nicer weather!

    Signs of spring.

      84 here yesterday. The horses loving the carrots and hoping for a long sunny summer. I sure love Florida, my home state. And I sure love this blog. It has renewed my interest in cooking. Well, at least in baking goodies!
