thrifty spring

We were in need of some spring and Easter decor to brighten things up around the house.  So yesterday, I went on a quick thrifting trip and here is what I found to add some zip to a couple of projects I'm working on.

 A retro style egg holder.  The beans love this!



 A green and white footed bowl for some spring things.


 I like birds and this one was bright and funky.


 A pretty rose colored vase for my spring mantel.


 This little pitcher caught me eye with all of its lovely colors.


And a fancy butterfly egg.


And one non-thrifted pic...my sweet bean



Linking up with...


Thanks for the feature Wendy!

  1. I have that exact egg holder! My mother got it for us when our kids were young -- back in the late 1980's. I still use it every Easter. Not sure how I feel about it being characterized as "retro" ;-). Kind of like ZZTop being on the "oldies" radio channel I guess.

  30. Great finds and a sweet little picture. It is amazing how quick kids can make a mess when your back is turned for 2 seconds. Oh well, I am sure they had a great time planting the seeds.
