Signs of Spring

The signs of Spring are blooming around our house!

This is my favorite Spring decoration! I saw it on the cover of All You magazine while waiting in line to checkout at Walmart. I thought it was so cute, so I went and bought a vase big enough and the color-sorted jellybeans. I used a smaller, same height vase inside the bigger vase. Then layered the jellybeans in between the two vases. I really need one more layer of jellybeans, so next time I go to Walmart, I will pick up another package of green jellybeans. I put fake flowers in the smaller vase, but maybe for a special day I will pick up some fresh daisies!


The Dining Room Decor




On the dining room table, I used the pink napkins and cute bunnies from my Gran's collection. (As a wedding present for each grandchild, Gran made napkins and got table decorations for each holiday.) I used the base of my crystal cake dome and lined it with green grass and chocolate eggs. The little egg holders are filled with jellybeans, for an after dinner treat!


If jellybeans do not satisfy you after dinner, you can have an egg shaped popcorn ball. A Weight Watcher friendly snack for 2 points (If I remember correctly.)!


I tried to add a little Spring to the mantle decorations. I wasn't quite sure what to do, so this is it for now. Maybe some changes or additions later. I just did it last night, so I am still pondering on it!


Happy Spring to you!

Cute, cute!! Love your jellybean vase! Also, good to know the points value of those popcorn balls. B got one in a favor bag at a party recently and I thought it looked pretty tasty!
