I love Spring! It is my favorite time of year even with all of the allergens competing for my attention. When the weather turns beautiful, sunny, trees and shrubs are in bloom (redbuds, dogwoods, Indian Hawthorne just to mention a few) everyone wants to get outside and enjoy nature. Unfortunately, some of us do not have that option for very many days. Even with years of allergy shots, antihistamines,masks for gardening ; pollen from all of these blooming plants overwhelm me and I spend more time than usual inside. We live in an oak forest and the old leaves dropping, blooming, tasseling and finally getting new leaves takes a while. For a week or so everything outside is covered with a fine green film of tree pollen.
This is the time of year that I love to put away all or most of my “darker” décor and “break out” the spring theme. I often put my crystal pitcher collection out at this time of year to lighten up the look in my den. I get down my bright, cheery dishes to enjoy for a while. Take a minute to look at all of the spring pieces that I have in stock from vintage to modern in style – you are sure to find a piece that you love.
