Spring, come out come out where ever you are!

I haven't done much shopping at all in the last 2 months. We have been busy as bees working on the house and filling custom orders with WhiteBerry, so decorating has taken a backseat. This weekend was my first trip out shopping since the holidays I think, so I was like a kid in a candy store! Here are a few of my spring finds, although it hardly feels like spring yet.
Egg wreath's ($20, HomeSense) have been something I've always loved but have yet to buy. I love all the colorful ones, but wanted to wait until I found a nice neutral one that would suit our house. As soon as I saw this one I immediately thought "Looks like Martha made it!". It has all her signature colors, and was simply elegant so I decided to throw it in my cart.

I like that it has a hint of bling with the "sugared" eggs.

Another Martha-esque item is my new apple bowl. I can already picture it on our future marble counters (no, we haven't officially started ripping out the kitchen but we are finalizing our cabinet order as we speak!!!).
Photobucket I love the mint color and with some lemons or red apples it will be the perfect pop of color in our white kitchen. But before then I think it will hold all our Easter eggs in the coming weeks.

And my 'favorite find of the day' award goes to my new hardware organizer for the office. It will be hung on my inspiration wall with my blackboard and paint swatches. I love it as it is (and for $40 I couldn't be more thrilled!) but I am going to be adding antique library card labels to help keep inventory of how many knobs I have laying around. I tended to stash them in various drawers around the house before this came along and never knew what I had or how many, so it is nice to visually see what is on hand.

If only they had 2 of these! I already have every bin full and have a feeling that it will be an ongoing battle to limit myself to these 15 bins.

I have also been working on updating my Spring wardrobe, so be warned that there may be a few fashion posts lurking in the near future. I have no hope of wearing this stuff for weeks it seems so I need to let out my excitement somewhere~
