Spring Inspiration with Mossy, Woodsy Things

No matter where we live, I think we all feel like the days after Valentine's Day allow us a little shift in our thinking. We may still be in the midst of winter and cold weather, but our optimistic hearts and minds tend to want to give permission to thoughts of warmer weather and "Spring". 

Last year at this time I gathered some of these wonderful inspiration photos together to start thinking about all things woodsy, twiggy and mossy. It can be 25 degrees outside, but show me pics of nests and moss, and tiny green shoots, and I instantly feel mentally and emotionally uplifted. 

If you missed my post on the Mossy Mini Spring Baskets

 two years ago then you can see it here.

I'm sharing some baskets, wreaths and planters that have a "natural" feel to them. These were some of my inspiration images for the little wicker baskets I put together for that post. I thought you might enjoy them too. I've only found a direct link to a few of them. The rest were lost links that are so common with Pinterest these days. If you see one you recognize as yours let me know. Otherwise the links are in my Pinterest boards that I'll share at the end of the post.

Garden Flow

I'm ready for some forsythia, daffodils and hyacinths... all things that might start blooming in this next month or two. Forsythia starts budding in March here in the lower Midwest; daffodils start peeking out in late February. I don't have any blooming bulb plants here, so I'm putting it on my calendar for a definite planting date this fall.

Last year I put together this "Victorian Wild Wreath" 

for early Spring.

Whether it's under a cloche, in a basket, on a pedestal or with a wreath, bringing out the natural elements paired with vintage pieces makes it easy to put together some beautiful delicate early Spring looks. You can see more of my Spring Inspiration Mossy, Woodsy things here and Spring here. I hope you've found some fun inspiration, let me know if you have any ideas. I always love knowing how you all are thinking about getting started on Spring.

we hope you'll come by Monday evenings at 6:00 Central
