Spring On The Bookshelves

I looked in my box of things to display on the bookshelves and found a distinct lack of Spring! All I had was the little Beswick Blue Tit which came from a boot-sale last year sometime. Searched through old posts with the Seasonal Display label - and found one with bits and bobs for Easter, which I still have but Easter is late this year, so too soon to get them out. So either I didn't have much for spring or I forgot to photograph or label the post, and whatever I did have went to a charity shop in the pre-move clear out. 

I thought it would be good to have flowers through Spring so bought a couple of bunches of daffodils for 50p each from the last car boot sale. Then had a bit of luck in the RSPCA charity shop in Stowmarket and spotted the pretty plate fixed up on the wall for £3.

 


And, along with my Hare which I've had for several years, a little bit of  Spring is now on the bookshelves. Still in the box to come out will be the April (Diary of an Edwardian lady) plate and then the Easter things.

Back Tomorrow

  2. I never think to display or rearrange the things on my mantle shelf, it stays the same all year round....well, other than a few Christmas things. I might take a leaf out of your book....

    1. It was someone in blogland that used to do it that gave me the idea + having more time to fiddle about!
      (wonder who it was as haven't seen a seasonal display on any other blog lately)

  4. A lovely display Sue. I was given a double bunch of daffs last week, always a delight to enjoy.

    Yesterday truly felt spring like (we had sunshine) but then frost overnight!

    1. I kept looking at the poor £1 bunches in Aldi/Asda and leaving them but when I found them for 50p at the car boot sale they had to come home

    1. It was on the wall quite high up behind a lamp on a shelf so I was pleased to spot it. Just right I thought

  8. A lovely display - the weather here is still cold but there are some very welcome signs of spring emerging and plenty of cheap daffs in the shops to brighten up our homes.

  9. I love the hare, one of my favourite animals. The prints on the wall are lovely, are they both by the same artist?

    1. Yes the lino-cut prints are by a localish artist called Deborah Key. I got them from an art exhibition a few years ago

  10. such a lovely tribute to spring. I haven't taken anything out at this point since putting Christmas away. I am trying to keep up with the dust. We are still cold and all closed in.

  11. I have a bunny along with some silk yellow tulips out for my Spring display. I also have a green shamrock out since I have a bit of Irish in my family background so I decorate a little for St. Patrick's Day (3/17). It's fun to celebrate year round with touches of the seasons and holidays!

  15. My granddaughter has set up an 'Easter ' display on my dining table, front door etc. It's a bit early but an enthusiastic eight year old is hard to resist! No daffs here as it's autumn but the dahlias are gorgeous at this time.I haven't much space to grow them but can get them from a nearby farm gate stall.

  16. My mother used to have a little bird similar to yours and I always wondered what it was. I have no idea what happened to it!
    Your daffodils make a very pretty display of spring colour :)
