Ahh…SPRING!! Did you know that we celebrated the first official day of Spring already {last weekend} ? Most of us are eagerly awaiting that first little bloom in the garden, and the kiss of sunshine. Even here in California we have had a cold, wet winter, and we can’t wait for Spring to begin and all the joys outdoor weather brings. I am excited about being outside, drinking coffee or tea on my little patio in the sun, listening to the birds sing, and dressing in bright, colorful colors, aren’t you?
To get us all motivated, and jump start your Easter decorating, I came across these stunning images of nests, eggs and flowers. Nests and Eggs just signify nature and rebirth, two of the most typical symbols of Spring. Perfect for any spring or Easter table, you can fill nests with little candy eggs marched down the center of your table, fill a big nest with flowers for the centerpiece, and leave a tiny nest filled with a treat on top of each plate as a favor. Be Inspired!

Dear Lidy,
Just got my copy of RH and sooo loved the article on you and your lovely home! Gosh, 14 pages of yumminess! I know you must be so excited, too! I especially love your bedroom and that gilt framed vanity mirror! I’ve got a similar one. Your kitchen (and especially the painted floor there) are terrific, too! Not to mention your office!
Big TX Hugs,
Stephanie
Dearest Lidy,
Here I am, moved with you…
Congrats on being featured in RH!
Your last name sounds Dutch, is that true?
Enjoy this spring season and have a great week!
Mariette
BEAUTIFUL inspirations, Lidy!
Happy Spring!

Bedankt, Mariette! Ja, ik ben Hollands.:)
Happy Spring to you, too, Kathleen!
Love it all! Wonderful ideas for Spring!
I have been quite busy with my spring cleaning and nest feathering. Yesterday I offered a peek of my office. My desk chair looks oh so lovely with it’s new linen slipcover. Come take a peek.
It does!! Your whole office looks great, Laura. Thanks so much for featuring our linen chair cover on your chair, it’s perfect!
I have not decorated for Easter yet. Thanks for posting these inspiring pictures.
Oh, I sooo needed a fix of loveliness! Been working on taxes and paperwork…ack! This was the perfect prescription, Dr. Lidy!
I haven’t either. For some reason Easter always “sneaks up” on me…so I thought we’d better get on it.
me too! {those taxes etc} thanks, Nancy. Whenever I need a lift, I come see YOU!
lidy-what fabulous spring photos! spring here today is 1″ of snow-:(

Hello Lidy,
What wonderful decorating ideas for Spring and Easter…beautiful photos! Fun to hear that you are Dutch, as I am also. Originally from Arnhem! I should have known that anyone who loves flowers would be Dutch!
