Spring, Wherefore Art Thou?

Waiting for spring is really trying my patience.  I am tired of the cold.  I'm sure everyone else is tired of the cold.  If spring doesn't arrive soon, I am going to scream.  Loud.  So I pulled out some spring flowers, dishes with happy colors, and put together a little simple table for four--dreaming that soon flowers will be blooming and the sun's warmth will bring the world alive again.
Using materials I found in my stash, I put together three spring florals.
I pulled a spring runner from the closet and used greenery down the center.
A nest of eggs is the focal point in each arrangement.
White tapers fill in the spots between each of the florals.
A dainty porcelain napkin ring holds each sage green dinner napkin.
Candleholders are vintage with a delicate silver overlay.
Dishes are sage green and  pink.  I believe they came from HomeGoods or TJ Maxx.
Silver flatware is simple as well, nothing too fancy here.
The fleur-de-lis glasses match the pink plates, and the pattern on the stems reminds me of dogwood.
The runner has a basket of spring flowers at each end, you've probably seen these in the stores.
Bird's eye view!!
At least it's a sunny day, even though you can't hardly open the door because of the frigid temperatures.  This does not feel a bit like Virginia weather.
I think this has cheered me up a bit.  Stay warm, my friends, and let's hope spring arrives soon!!

Thanks for visiting!
