It's March 19th, the day the swallows return to San Juan Capistrano, and oldest daughter's birthday. The calendar says winter's end is nigh. I'm ready for bright, cheery spring decor.
These little rabbits greet me every time I enter the house. Originally, they were in a set of four. My mom received them from a friend for her 7th birthday. I remember playing with them when I was a child.
Once I'm inside, I hang my keys up near this basket of bunnies. I believe my mom made the little bunnies--if she didn't, then my grandma did.
Another table holds a vase of flowers (some of which were used at our wedding almost 26 years ago), a bunny made by middle daughter when she was in grade school, and a flowered basket with a duck made by my grandma.
I added just a couple of spring touches to the mantle in the next room.
Thanks for springtime, and for oldest daughter.

I love how little additions can bring freshness to a room.
