A Spring Nest for the Table
Today is the first day of spring and I wanted to bring a little of the spring season inside. Using what I already have on hand and pulling a few things from the beds, I decided to make a nest vignette for the kitchen. Using a large clear glass platter as an anchor, I then added the grapevine wreath on top. Using vines and ground cover, I then weave vines through the grapevine. I fill the center with whatever leftover plants I have from Christmas. Maidenhair fern, frosty fern, ground cover and shamrock plants from St. Patrick's Day. For a pop of color I add the last of the blooming Tete a Tete daffs .
A welcome nest
Perfect for the table in the breakfast area of the kitchen
Oh look, do you see what I see?
I do believe I see a nest in the nest!
A bunny family
All snug among the ferns
I love the gnarly twisted vines of the wreath. This is one of several that decorated the church doors when our son married his sweetheart. My husband and I made these with the help of my husband's mom and dad using vines from their gardens.
After years of use they look like the day we made them!
Pretty tulips for the hutch (artificial) and later in the week fresh tulips for Easter for the blue and white container on the island
Tulips will fill this container for Easter
Thanks for dropping in. I appreciate your visit and would love for you to leave a comment, I read each and everyone!

Bonjour Emily! CUTE CUTE CUTE are all of the bunnies and chicks in your lovely French décor! Having green, fresh and real plantings in the house brings in spring. I so love your kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThank you, merci for coming to visit my post. Blessings of spring to you! Anita
Oh how pretty, Emily. The decorated wreath is a perfect welcome for Spring. How clever to hide the bunny family. They look so natural hidden away among the ferns. And I love all of the other pretties. That lamb is beautiful and all of the little chicks and bunnies are so sweet. I always enjoy seeing your vignettes.
ReplyDeleteEmily, I may have to be a copy cat! This is absolutely fantastic! All the details, the little bunny, the beautiful combination of flowers, everything -- make it one of the loveliest arrangements I have ever seen! What a beautiful arrangement to have greet you in the morning! (Oh, and that lamb is precious!)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and Spring-y! I haven't done much. Your grapevine wreath is beautiful -- can't believe you made it!
ReplyDeleteHello Emily! So happy to meet you, visiting from Rose Chintz Cottage... such a delightful little place you have here! Oh your lovely flower creation is adorable, with the nest within the nest! Happy Spring indeed :)
ReplyDeleteThe nest is glorious! I will unashamedly copy it for Easter Sunday, right down to the bunny hiding in the flowers. My granddaughter will be enchanted!
ReplyDeleteEmily, your nest of greenery and posies is a delight to the eyes! I love the surprise of the bunny family hiding in it. The blue and white container will be beautiful filled with tulips! Happy Spring and Happy Easter! Have a lovely week and thanks so much for linking up.
ReplyDeleteEaster blessings,
Sandi
That centerpiece is awesome Emily. I love it! We had rabbits one year that had a nest in our catmint or hyssop I can't remember which. They were invisible down in there till I weeded one day! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteEmily, your new centerpiece is prefect for welcoming spring. Each of the details make me smile, especially the bunnies. Your pair of rabbits on the hutch are the cutest couple. Love that she is serving tea! Cute Easter touches, Emily! What a happy post!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty Emily and I love those happy daffodils!!
ReplyDeleteYou are pretty Egg-stra special yourself! I love your grapevine nest and the adorable nesting bunnies. Nests mean Spring, new life, green and color pop for me. Happy Spring and Happy Easter, Emily.
ReplyDeleteEmily your Easter vignettes are so lovely. I'm decorating today! Better late than never!!!
ReplyDeleteYour centerpiece is one of the prettiest I've ever seen. The bunnies hiding inside made me smile. Have a blessed Holy Week and Easter!

So pretty, Emily! I love your centerpiece. So cheerful and a great home for your bunny family. Your plants are so healthy and this was creative. Enjoyed seeing all your Easter decorations too.

I'm crazy about your grapevine centerpiece Emily, it so fresh and SPRINGlike! And sniffle, the memories, how special. It's extra cute with the bunny family nesting inside :) Tulips in that beautiful vase are going to look stunning! Have a wonderful Easter!

Hi Nancy, Thanks for your visit. The paint I used Is Benjamin Moore "Black" on the hutch and island (a link to before and after if your interested http://www.thefrenchhutch.com/2016/02/this-old-kitchen-and-facelift.html) and if you are serious I will pull my files and find the paint number so there is no mistake. It is not a jet black, has some charcoal in it which is a great color.
ReplyDeleteHello Emily Ann! :) I love the bunny family tucked into your pretty Spring basket! The basket/wreath is eggs-tra special since it came from your son's wedding! Your kitchen is beautiful too, especially your window treatment over the sink. I like the fringe! I think Spring has finally arrived up here with temps near or in the 60s this week! Just in time for Easter! Linda
ReplyDeleteBeautiful nest and plants - love the hidden bunnies!! And I spied a "white kitchen" - oh, that is my dream to have an all white kitchen!! I am off to buy some tulips!! Enjoy your Easter weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love your Welcome Spring table wreath! I need to get me one of those:) I'm a tulip girl, too, and will be getting mine tomorrow. Thanks so much for sharing at Vintage Charm! And Happy Easter! xoKathleen
ReplyDeleteThe nest looks so lovely and cosy. No wonder the bunnies moved in. Happy Easter.
