Spring Tablescape and Dining Room - It's a Spring Thing


Today is the second day of the It’s a Spring Thing Blog Hop and Linky Party.  Yesterday, Mary Beth from Cupcakes and Crinoline started us off with a delicious looking Lemon and Blueberry Butter Cake, and today I thought I would share a rustic/woodsy themed spring tablescape.

I feel like I've been doing a lot of more rustic decorating lately so I had planned on switching it up and doing a more elegant looking spring/Easter table setting.  I had a hard time finding what I needed to create the idea I had in my head, though, and so when I saw these little nests with the eggs in them and the oversized moss mushrooms when I stopped into Savvy (my favorite store in Williamsburg) I decided to go a completely different route and do a more earthy woodsy feeling tablescape.


I love these little nests! I think these mushrooms would have been so cute at Lola's first birthday party!

Along with the smaller nests, this larger nest is also from Savvy.




You can see how I made these eggs out of plastic eggs and book pages here in this post from a couple of years ago.











For those of you waiting, we have just restocked our birds nest pillow covers! And the large Easter chalkboard download is available in our shop now (you can see how to make the frame for it here.)





You can see what this topiary looked liked before I spray painted it in this post from a couple of years ago.




Be sure to stop by Kristin's blog, My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia tomorrow for the next stop on the It's a Spring Thing Tour!

And here is the rest of the list of the wonderful bloggers who will be participating later this week and next week: Kristin from Simply Klassic Home, Heather from At the Picket Fence, Shannon from Fox Hollow Cottage, Debbie from Debbiedoo’s, Heather from Setting for Four, Angelina from JoJo & Eloise, Vanessa from At the Picket Fence, Maryann from Domestically Speaking, KariAnne from Thistlewood Farms, Courtney from French Country Cottage, and Jennifer  from Jennifer Rizzo  - be sure to follow along and on March 18th we’ll all be hosting one HUGE It’s a Spring Thing Linky Party where you can link up your spring and Easter posts.  

I hope you all have a fabulous week!

Merry Xmas - Welcome to My Living Room

Well, its finally here, Christmas day in New Zealand, one day ahead of most of you. The aroma of my roast Turkey with cranberries and walnuts fills the air, my mini Christmas mince pies are ready, and the table is set with some of my mothers beautiful vintage silver and china. This will be my first Christmas without my mother, I miss her terribly but I'm sure she's watching over. So, while I'm waiting  for my guests to arrive I thought my readers might like a quick tour of my living room on Christmas day...


























Oh and Poppy wants to wish all my readers a very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. I'll be  having a break for a few days but will be back later this week. You can still catch up with snippets on my Face Book page.

Christmas Tablescape - French Style With A Touch Of Silver

The other week I was wandering around Le Monde, one of my favourite Auckland homeware stores. First I was awed by a gorgeous room setting with accents of a deep, lime green, then I spotted their beautiful Christmas tablescapes. Le Monde is one of those stores you can't resist walking into, displayed cleverly into room settings, but never cluttered, I'm always inspired by the ever changing colours and designs.  A few weeks ago I was inspired by their blue and white setting and dashed home to bring more blue and white into my sitting room. Today I feel inspired by another of their beautiful settings with accents of lime green and seriously thinking about introducing touches of this colour into my living area next Winter. 

While I was browsing, I spotted two gorgeous Christmas tablescapes which Le Monde kindly let me photograph. Today I'm sharing a silver tablescape, with a French feel, and tomorrow, one a little more rustic, I hope they  inspire your own table this Christmas.  If you live in Auckland and you haven't visited Le Monde, I encourage you to visit this beautiful shop. oh! and its right next to La Cigale French Market, so makes a great Saturday morning shopping and eating ☺













Hope you've been inspired, please come back tomorrow as I will be sharing Le Monde's gorgeous rustic table setting, sneak peek below.
