Hello, Dear Ones! Is it too early for Spring?? I'm asking myself. Now don't get me wrong, I'm loving our south Texas weather - not too cold and some days are very spring like - but I'm thinking blooms and warmness all around. Well, I started in my dining room to Spring it up a bit.
On the left hand side I've placed (notice I didn't say 'poked') some of my silver pieces - a sugar scuttle and salt and pepper. I placed some greens in a pretty vase and added my Dresden covered bowl.
The right side has a beautiful plate my sister in law gave me and a hand painted porcelain tea set my little mother gave me many years ago. I know this may be too much for some folks but I love my stuff! Things are beginning to bloom a little in my dining room.
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia :)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
It Might As Well Be Spring
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I'm as jumpy as puppet on a string
I'd say that I had spring fever
But I know it isn't spring
I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
O why should I have spring fever
When it isn't even spring
I keep wishing I were someone else
Walking down a strange new street
And hearing words that I've never head
From a girl I've yet to meet
I'm as busy as spider spinning daydreams
Spinning spinning daydreams
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud
Or a robin on the wing
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
That it might as well be spring
It might as
Well be
Spring
I'm as jumpy as puppet on a string
I'd say that I had spring fever
But I know it isn't spring
I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
O why should I have spring fever
When it isn't even spring
I keep wishing I were someone else
Walking down a strange new street
And hearing words that I've never head
From a girl I've yet to meet
I'm as busy as spider spinning daydreams
Spinning spinning daydreams
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud
Or a robin on the wing
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
That it might as well be spring
It might as
Well be
Spring

Beautiful room and decor, Shelia. I didn't even notice there were no drapes. I think your windows look lovely even without them!
ReplyDeleteI don't blog anymore, but I do enjoy your blog!! I don't think your decor is "too much"...I think it's PERFECT!!!
ReplyDeleteAw...Nina, that is so nice of you!
DeleteOh...and I LOVE your dining area!
ReplyDeleteShelia, I love your table. The lace cloth and the birds under cloches, so sweet. I am thrilled you named the sugar scuttle...I have one ,I found in an old shop and I had no idea what it's purpose could be. Thank you. I am longing for spring and it's 54 days away...not long now. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteI love all your "stuff"!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I do love my 'stuff'! :)
DeleteNot too early!! I saw crocuses poking out from the snow today. Let the countdown begin!!
ReplyDeleteIm not around blog land much these days Shelia, but it is joyous to see the gorgeous homes you create no matter where you are - and I especially remember that magnificent staircase and balustrade you had in that lovely house (a couple back now I think?) So much has happened for so many people in blog land over the past 7-8 years. Blessings to you my dear.
ReplyDeleteOh, hi, Rose! Oh, I've missed you and how nice to hear from you! I hope all is well with you and you don't know how much I appreciate your kind words.
DeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Love the white birds under glass. I am ready for SPRING!!! I started Spring cleaning this Winter already. One of the best things I can do right now for entertainment during the cold weather is to deep clean. All the best!

I'll tell you, during my visit to Dallas last week, it was almost as cold as it had been in Michigan -- and twice as wet! (Then I came home to 6" of snow!) Believe me, spring can't come soon enough!
ReplyDeleteHermosa decoración..los pajarillos ya comienzan a llamar la primavera...que la disfrutes mucho...Acá en Costa Rica...verano, pero ha hecho mucho frío y ha llovido como nunca en algunas provincias. Saludos
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley! I forget that our seasons are opposite. Hope you haven't had too much rain and the weather warms up soon! Take care.
DeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I am looking forward to Spring. I do not enjoy the cold weather at all. Your room is so pretty and bright and cheery. I would love to sit in there with you enjoying a cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteLove your "stuff". I love French country and there is always stuff!Snowy and cold in Iowa. less than 6o days till spring.
ReplyDeleteLove all of your spring decorations. Can you share an update on Susan from Ash Tree Cottage? I am not on FB. I have been praying for her healing.
ReplyDeleteLove all your stuff....no, its not too much....its very pleasing !!! It is just right for an early spring décor. Yes, any news about Susan ??
ReplyDeleteNot to be contrary, but, I love winter !! It is fresh and clean, time to snuggle in, not to worry about outside chores, great weather for all kinds of cooking and I am not a wilted lily every day and night !!!
Yes, am also deep cleaning, catching up on movies, and other tasks.....
Best to you.....Cleo
It looks so pretty in your dining room. I am so happy that January is almost over and looking forward to no snow for February. Hope you have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteShelia,
ReplyDeleteIt's never too early for Spring (or any Seasonal change)!
Love your glass cloches!
Thank you for always inspiring and making my day a bit brighter!

Avoid being trapped in a pyramid scheme. There are lots of reputable MLM opportunities, but many unscrupulous operators exist as well. All pyramid schemes are to be avoided. Although it might look promising at first glance, you could end up losing a lot of money in this type of business.
