The warm spring sun was shining through the window the other morning and I had to grab my camera!
This time of year is so exciting when you live in a region known for harsh winters
(although I have to admit that here in New England, we had a pretty easy time of it this year!)
I set up this spring vignette on a little table that sits in the dining area of our small split entry, using things from other areas of the house.
The birds flanking the nest were 'borrowed' from the mantel.
They're such a pretty 'mottled' shade of robins egg blue (a favorite of mine).
I know they're not robins, but they are guarding the three pale blue eggs in the nest until Mrs. Robin returns.
The nest was originally purchased as an ornament several years ago
(nests in Christmas trees are considered good luck).
I like to keep it in the house year-round.

I love the quote on this frame, "Humor is mankind's greatest blessing," by Mark Twain. The girls were hamming it up one Christmas morning, trying on their new cloche hats, complete with tags hanging down and stuffing still inside the hats to helped keep their shape.
(It seemed an appropriate photo for this particular frame!)

One of my favorite lampshades with a very spring-like pattern.
The sun was shining through the "faux" plant in this cherub planter.
And now the sun has gone behind some clouds, but that doesn't change the fact that
SPRING has arrived here in New England!
