it must be spring; i can feel it in my bones!
that deep craving for bare legs & rich green grass.
the simple beginnings of our garden... fingers deep in the dirt covering seeds.
bright colors & warm sunshine.
despite the dark & gloomy days that have been lingering around these parts, i'm certain spring is just around the corner.
to celebrate, i decorated my mantel with cheerful spring & easter-inspired decorations!
i re-used last year's bunny banner from target & strung it atop my big green boxwood wreath (also from target). i purchased a few gold dot easter eggs from hobby lobby for a bit of sparkly goodness.
amidst my collection of old hardback books & chippy frames, i placed a green mason jar on my mantel full of this season's happy flags!
my etsy shop re-opens this thursday, march 12th, with bright & colorful goods just in time for the arrival of spring!
i absolutely love the easter-inspired set of happy flags (shown above)! i imagine them bundled up in an easter basket & peeking out of wheatgrass on a cozy mantelpiece.
i'm also introducing mini happy flags! yay!
they're perfect for tiny plants, cupcakes, party decorations & more. this rainbow set can transition from spring to summer, adding a pop of color to any tabletop!
& of course, there will be more of the skinny headbands in happy spring colors as well as reversible headbands & stretchy bands!
i hope you'll join me at my shop on thursday, march 12th at 8am cst!

Adorable, as always!
Mini flags?? You're killing me.
That bunny banner is too cute!
Very Cute!! I have the same bunny banner that I purchased after Easter last year from Target :) I was curious as to where you have purchased your clipboards? I am looking to use a few in gifts, and I love the older looks.
Hi Natalie. That mantel is so inspiring. I'm forcing myself to wait until April for the Easter decorations but I'm definitely pinning this for later!
Can I ask a little technical question please? I'm guessing you sew your flag fabrics up first and then insert your stick. Do you hold it in place with a bit of glue or something? Just wondering how durable they are (with kids around!). Thanks x
Absolutely adorable! I recently found your blog and I am so inspired by your posts and photos! Your IG feed is so colorful and happy, keep up the awesome work!
I have the same bunny garland, too. Love what you did with it! Your mantel's colors are so happy. Winter has been hanging on in our neck of the woods, so I actually am only finally today taking down our snowflakes ;) Here is a link to one of my favorite Easter mantels: http://shimmerandshinedesign.blogspot.com/2013/03/easter-wishes.html I made it a couple years ago after being inspired by an old Martha Stewart issue with the chocolate bunnies. Hoping to work on this year's version this weekend. Thanks for your daily inspiration. I follow you on instagram and love your posts.
