Spring is in the Air Cottage Home Tour

Depending on where we live, we might be enjoying warm weather with tons of green grass and colorful blooms popping out... or we might still be dealing with snow storms, high winds and brown yards. And maybe since it's March... we can be doing both!

Hi Friends, today I'm joining with a fun group of gals who love celebrating seasonal décor and expressing ourselves with unique and personal home pieces and accessories. Thanks to our wonderful and one-of-a-kind hostess, Cindy from County Road 407! If you're coming from visiting Cecilia at My Thrift Store Addiction, Hello, I'm so glad you came by!

I think most of us have accessory pieces that we prefer using in certain rooms and with particular furniture. My dining room table and bulky chairs need a larger center grouping and centerpiece to be seen. My bigger lantern and tabletop "Frenchy Wagon" often show up in the dining room with seasonal accessories. This month with Spring the theme, I brought out a large black/white rabbit and a mossy basket filled with faux tulips. 

Faux carrots and a decoupaged egg join the grouping. I started out with a brown floral table runner, but soon realized it was a bit too busy with the multicolored tulips and bunny. So I opted for a neutral toile linen runner that let me focus on the wagon and not get overwhelmed with pattern. A brown and white gingham check decorates the lantern without being too much. 

On the buffet I have a few of my glass cloches with vintage pitchers and florals, an ironstone tureen and a printed grain sack linen sheep in a wooden frame. 

My faux heart shaped ivy topiary is here and works with any season or holiday décor. 

Moving over to the Entry I wanted to bring out my Spring Victorian Wreath here on the entry console and add in a few vintage postcards for some graphic interest.

I put this wreath/antique frame together a few years ago, but this is the first time I've added in old postcards. Over the last few years I've used it several different places throughout the house, but this is my favorite spot because it's a bit more formal.

A pottery vase filled with faux paperwhites and mossy sticks balances out the tall buffet lamp. Since March is my birthday month I'm displaying a framed antique birthday postcard with a rose bouquet.

My precious little Majolica rabbit on a cabbage plate is here each year.
