Spring Fever Decorating

 
I've got spring fever and I'm going through my house and cleaning out and changing around like I do every year.  It's usually around my birthday that I start to get the feeling that I need a change.  I've moved some things from room to room and spruced some thing up a bit.  There is something about  open windows and sunshine that makes me feel like it's time for change.
 
 
I made a new spring wreath for my door with items I had in my "extra's" bin for floral arrangements.  I love "using what you have" to make some beautiful.
 
 
Moved some lamps around from other rooms and have gathered some things for my daughter's garage sale we are having in a few weeks.  She is raising money for her missions trip this summer and I love knowing that the things I no longer need can raise money for her to experience this wonderful opportunity in another country.
 
 
I also added added some new books here, there and everywhere.
 
Recovered my little chair that is in my entry (below) with a new hide I found at an antique store.
 
 
I always enjoy change, even if it's in the small things.  It's a new beginning and I'm passionate about that!  This weekend I'm going to work around my pool and plant some flowers.

Ruthie's Easter/Spring Decorating Favorites

by:  Pottery Barn
 (Check out Pottery Barn's New Catalog, it has a fabulous new look)
 
Spring is seen as a time of growth, renewal, of new life (both plant and animal) being born.  We are all starting to think about Easter and the renewal that brings to our lives.  I love this time of year because we gather with our families and friends to celebrate the resurrection of our savior.   I love this quote:
 
"Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not only in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime." Martin Luther
 
Beautiful reminder as we watch things start to bloom and blossom.
 
 
Speaking of needing renewal, I've been diagnosed with Asthma which has put me in bed for a few days to try and get myself well after an ER visit and many, many breathing treatments.  Trying to figure out what triggers the attacks.  In the meantime, I'm looking at it as a time for rest and trying to appreciate that.  It's hard for me to sit still but I'm learning that it's necessary for our bodies to recover.

  So....what have I been doing while in bed?  You guessed it, catching up on Spring Ideas.  I've put together some images that are my favorites of the year.  For Easter, some like a formal table, some take their families to the park and some of us barbecue!  I've picked a few of my favorite Spring and Easter decor ideas to get your ideas flowing while you plan for this special time.  Thought I'd save you some Pinterest searching time.
