First Day of Spring Inspiration

(Good Hope Pitcher and Sweet Shrub Bedding by Antrhopologie; Easter Table Setting by Heather Bailey)

Well, today is officially the first day of Spring! It’s finally here… time to open your windows, sip your coffee on the back porch, clean your house from top to bottom, plant flowers and prune your garden. For me, Spring reminds me of God’s grace. Winter, though I do enjoy it, is the time when the trees are naked of their leaves, the grass is dry and stripped of it’s green, it’s too cold to play outside. Then Spring comes around, the temperature warms your skin, the leaves start to grow their leaves, the grass turns emerald, flowers sprout up again, birds return, kids play…you get the picture. I always think, this time of year, of how God uses these same occurrences in the seasons of our lives. And it gives me hope! There can always be renewal!

I’m always inspired by nature the most this time of year as well. Jaime and I have so many ideas and inspirations for our frames and other products. I can’t wait to share them all with you… in due time! We are steadily plugging away in the studio, and we are just giddy beyond words at all of our new designs. Aside from nature, Mary Engelbreit’s Home Companion Magazine never ceases to offer an instant dose of creative inspiration. The Easter table setting above is so full of spring colors.

I also can’t go wrong anytime I open my Anthropologie catalog. Oh, it just makes my heart sing. I love the green bedding, it’s so boho chic! And isn’t the yellow pitcher just too cute?

Are you ready for Spring?
