Woodland Spring Wreath

Last week I saw these itty bitty mushrooms for sale over at Shop Sweet Lulu and fell in love. They come in two different sizes. I seriously wanted to order some in every color, but I just chose four colors. Last year I did a bird nest and rosette wreath for spring, so I just pulled those pieces off and got to work!

I started by tearing off a few pieces of moss that I bought at Hobby Lobby, and hot gluing them on.

 After that, all I had to do was arrange some super cute mushrooms on the moss! They come with little "stem" pieces that you can easily stick right into the wreath.

 I had a moss covered "B" somewhere else in my house, so I used that and added a few mushrooms peeking out.

Hang it up with some cute chevron jute ribbon (from Hobby Lobby) and you're ready for a woodland-inspired spring! 

Spring Decor

I snapped a few pics of my spring decor I've worked on the past couple of days. Life has been REALLY busy lately so I'm blogging from my iPhone on the long drive home from our family night.
The egg garland was added to our entry table.
I got the idea from pinterest for the white chocolate bunny in the jar. I used edible Easter grass and a few extra eggs.
I used a small cake stand and dome and filled it with eggs and moss. Super easy, and I already had everything for it. (also from pinterest)
I also dug out my spring wreath from last year... I still love it.

Easy Spring Wreath!

I apologize that I don't have step by step pictures on how I made this. I TOOK the pictures, but they have since vanished! I wanted a easy, but pretty spring wreath for my front door. I went to Hobby Lobby and got this spiral grapevine wreath half off.It was super simple, I picked some scraps of fabric in the "spring-like" colors that I wanted, and made rosettes with my hot glue gun. There are tutorials ALL over blog land on how to make fabric rosettes. If you don't know how just google it and you'll find many options.

I found the little nests at HL too, they were two in a pack, in the floral styrofoam aisle, near the fake birds and butterflies. It was empty, but I hot glued a cute speckled egg from my other Spring decor inside...perfect! I love how simple and elegant it is!

I hung it up with burlap ribbon that my sis-in-law gave me {leftover from the chair backs at the wedding}. I think with the half off the wreath, the whole project cost me less than $10! Score!

Spring is in the Air!

I titled my blog post, and then looked out my window to the freezing cold rain coming down. Oh well! We've had spring-like weather in California for weeks, and we are at the beginning of a cold storm, reminding us that it's still technically February. I thought I would walk you through my spring decor. I said a couple of weeks ago that my old cheesy stuff needs to be retired, and I am SO pleased with what I've done/bought since!I bought these bead board ornaments on etsy, from The Shabby Chic Cottage shop. I got them today and I love them! They are the palest blue possible and perfectly distressed.

This garland I bought for $7.99 at Ross. Score! I love the branches and the really pale, muted color of the eggs so that they don't look like kids' easter eggs.

This is the top rack view of my baker's rack.

I bought the apocrathy jar, already embellished on the outside at HomeGoods. I think it was $12.99. Today I finally found acceptable eggs at JoAnns and they were on sale!

This birdcage was $9.99 at Ross and the petals are candle holders.

I love this thing!! I found it {the ONLY one in sight!} at Hobby Lobby a couple of weeks ago and I used a 40% coupon on it.

My friend gave me this sign she made for doing her a shopping favor! =)

The little blue bird was half off at Hobby Lobby when I bought it, so I think it was $1.50. The bronze birdbath was already mine from last year. I also already had the little nest with tiny eggs. Hey, we've even got REAL butterflies in this picture getting ready to hatch! Ha Ha!

I found these little signs hiding in the easter aisle at Hobby Lobby for $1.99 each. They come blank, so I just cut out some vinyl with my cricut that I had on hand.

This was also a HomeGoods purchase. I think it was $9.99.

The big jar with the B was a Christmas gift from my sister in law. I just tied some ribbon I had in my scrap bag that had the same teal color in it. It's definitely not my fave but I keep forgetting to look for something more "spring-y".

My friend Trish hosted a smore's night right before Valentine's day and she had a bunch of apocrathy jars tied with ribbon and filled with candies. I loved it, so when Hobby Lobby put their glassware on sale, I bought two for half off. Then I added some vinyl birds. The smaller jar got multiple, smaller birds. The medium size one has only one, slightly bigger bird.

Well, there you have it! My updated spring decor! I have ONE more plan {we'll see if I can just stick to one more thing!} that I hope to finish and blog about tomorrow! =)
