Celebrating spring with edible Centerpieces

It's s p r i n g
and I'm
welcoming the season with three different stunning spring centerpieces.

Each
bursting with color.

I seriously love spring.

I'm not saying it's my favorite season,

nor
am I saying it's not.

What I am saying is
that
I am soooo impress with

its sea of dogwood trees

and

azaleas

and

all color.

I just wanted to bring a little outdoor indoor..

I'm in love with the pinks, yellow, greenery, purples , reds.

But I've noticed there is a lot of shades of white going on to include dogwood trees, azaleas and my love, impatiens.

Don't you just love the pink and white dogwood trees?

I found the same inspiration
with all the colors in fruit
and
vegetable.

I wanted simplicity
and
color of course for my centerpiece.

Should I do the tradition beautiful fresh flowers
or
an edible arrangement kept dancing in my mind,

but

the more I starred at the colors of bell peppers, why not?

Then there were the radishes

and
cantaloupe

and
strawberries.

Each color inspired me.

Take a peep.

Until the next time
Enjoy the moment.

My Spring deck... this way

Spring deck wish list!

I just stared at my deck for a few minutes.
So many thoughts kept running thru my mind.
The temp was STILL cold;
either raining or light snow.
It was another cloudy spring day!
But
I had a plan.
I couldn't wait!

I knew I must make
the deck a spring getaway.
I knew it had to be cozy.

I envisioned containers
overflowing with blooms
on every corner,
on tables,
and
on any available stand.

Each chair needed a pillow.
They could be of
different color,
solid
or
floral.

I didn't forget the need for lush greenery .

I began to use my powers of thrifting.

First, I shopped within my home.
Then I checked out @Lowe's plant clearance rack.

My deck transformed into
a cozy retreat.

If you're looking for me, I'm celebrating the arrival of spring with
warmer weather.

This is it!

Let them bloom!

Until the next time,

Susan

Tablescape with shades of purple

I just want to warn you, my tablescape

doesn't have placements.

Yes, forgo the placements!

I didn't go with the tradition.

That's it,

I mixed and matched serving trays.

Just a note,
it didn't all come together on the first try.

My inspiration started with the
serving trays.

I pulled out 2 Kate Spade cups I scored 2 years ago from

@Homegoods for 2 dollars each.

A 50 cent scarf layered between

Pottery Barn plates and serving trays added more color.

Perfect for spring,

a combination of fresh flower serving as a centerpiece.

After purchasing the greenery,

I realized it could have been free from my yard.

Now I know, right?

Take a look.

Don't forget your coffee,

as I have a few pics to share.

Expect to see lots of color.

Enjoy...

Until the next time

love...Love...L O V E

But the greatest of these is LOVE.

If there was ever a doubt in my mind about being a bargain hunter, the doubt is no longer there.

Now that it's Valentine's Day, it's just an excuse to bring out those finds,
my
pink candles.

I must pat myself on the back for buying these earlier.

I'm so proud of
ME
for decorating with thrifty decor.

So glad Valentine's comes in the middle of WINTER.
There're the roses, bouquet of flowers and the softer touches of color that scream spring.

Did you know we enjoy family time at holidays, except for Valentine's?

It's the day designed for
couples.

Happy Valentine's Day.

I collect candles, candlesticks, serving trays,
tablecloths, runners, napkins and white dishes.

I'm retired!
I have time to grab a cup of coffee
and
rush out of the house to the next sale.
I'm just like that working person rushing out to beat the
morning traffic.
