I saw this cute spring basket at Under the Table and Dreaming and I have to say I was inspired.
Until recently this is how my front door looked:
Great for winter, but time to springify it don't you think?
When I saw that lovely white basket, I remembered that I had a flat-backed basket hanging around doing nothing much, so I put it to work.
I removed the apple decoraton, added some pussy willow branches, trimmed it with some brown polk-a-dot ribbon, and hung it on my front door.
Last fall we bought an antique copper tub that I keep on the front porch. I have been slowly adding willow and birch branches to it as I find them. On a recent walk I found a lovely long birch branch and brought it home - much to everyone in the family's gufaws. Okay it was really big, and it did barely fit in the car. The things we do for the sake of home beautification. I trimmed the length of the branch a bit and added it to the old copper tub. Luckily for me, a bird's nest fell out of a tree in a recent wind storm, so I wired that into the notch in the branches.
It looks more like spring now, dontcha think?
