I Created a Dish Garden for the coffee Table

I have to give a big shout out to Shirley at Housepitality Designs blog.  Housepitality Designs She has a gorgeous blog and I love everything she does. Recently she created a dish garden and I wanted to do one too. I had to wait though til I could find some bulb plants! Our grocery store finally got some in so I grabbed them. I created a new vignette on the coffee table. I am SO antsy for Spring! I brought out some nests and birds for the vignette.

 This is the cache pot I wanted to use for my dish garden. I lined the cache pit with a plastic bag then added the pots and surrounded them with moss.

 I used 2 hyacinths and a pretty orange tulip. Then I added a twiggy nest too!

 This nest rests on a brass candle stick.

 My pagoda lantern is also brass and I love the beautiful metals!

 This combination of blue and white with the pretty brass just makes me happy. I am so glad brass has come back!

 A little blue bird has landed here too! OH! and since I took these pics I have ironed the napkins that I am using as a runner:)

 A blue LED candle is in the lantern and looks so pretty at night.

 The hyacinths smell SOOOO good!

 I remembered this little bird too so added him.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you are having a good week.

XO, Pinky

Easter Decor on the Coffee Table

I know I am early but so is Easter this year! So I want to be able to enjoy my bunnies etc. for awhile. I started here on the coffee table. I love my 2 blue and white eggs. I elevated this one onto a candle holder and added a forsythia candle ring.

 The smaller egg is also raised a bit onto another glass candle holder. I like the light and airiness of the glass with the blue and white pieces.

 And of course my little glass bunny fits right in here.

 At the other end of the table are my 2 bunnies that were a gift from my daughter MANY years ago. I had spied them WAY up in a gift shop. She surprised me and went back and got them She is a GOOD daughter:):)

 They both have pretty flowered "necklaces" around their necks.

 This is a VERY special piece to me. It was my grandmothers. I only have a very FEW things that were hers so I treasure this. It is planted with a tulip, but will be replanted again as the tulip is spent now.

 This runner is old but fun and pretty to me. The colors are great in here too. I am lightening up a lot in here for Spring and summer. I am longing for Spring to REALLY get here. They say next week could be 70!!!! I can't wait! How about you, have you done any Easter or Spring decorating?

 

Thanks for your visit. I love getting your comments and try to answer and visit you too.

XO, Pinky

~~~What I Spotted Today, ONE Tulip, and some Fish!!!~~~

Today was a beautiful, sunny day, 69 degrees and a perfect day to be outdoors. So, out I went after laundry and vacuuming.I was SO excited to see ONE tulip that the deer didn't eat! You can see that they DID chew on the leaves but it survived!!!! It is such a pretty color. I used to have about 10 of them here in this spot:(

 Now, out back, in the woods a HUGE tree came down. It is totally uprooted!!!! It is probably about 50 feet tall, or WAS.

 You can see how big it was. Thank God it wasn't near the house.

 When it fell, it broke in several pieces...here..

 and here.

 Here is a shot of the whole thing.

 I also noticed that more fish were swimming around. The pond will be all cleaned up in a few weeks and look MUCH better soon!!! Stay tuned:):) There is more tree work to be done so we are waiting til that is completed to clean the pond.

 I counted 9 fish today and here are 8 of them.

Hope you all have a GREAT weekend!!!! Thanks for leaving a comment, I always read every one. XO, Pinky
