Signs of spring

I was late putting away my Valentine's decorations this year, and only this weekend did I have the time to slowly make the transition to my spring décor. I started with a pretty pastel tablecloth I found at an antique mall in Monroe last month, along with blue tea-and-toast sets, a cube-shaped pale-green teapot (a long-ago Goodwill find), some mint and viola plants from Walmart, and a favorite green teacup and saucer.

The bunnies seem slightly out of place in March, but if I'm going to use them this year, they already have less than a month until Easter, so I've started adding a few. Boy, I miss having a tea trolley to decorate each month, and I'm watching one on Amazon but waiting a bit to see if it ever goes on sale. So meanwhile, I decorate any surface in the living room that is available! This one is an old melodian, or portable organ, that belonged to my husband's great-great-something Presbyterian grandfather (if I have the story straight).

I love those pretty old-fashioned baskets, and the white ones are some of my favorites. This one holds Easter eggs right now, but come May or June, I hope some of my roses can go there.

And I have to mention that my greatest addition to the living room (possibly ever) is this rosy pink skirted sofa I bought for $100 on Facebook Marketplace last weekend! The seller I bought it from had found it on the last day of an estate sale, stored in someone's basement and apparently never used, so it is in absolutely mint condition. I'm donating my old sofa and love seat to some newlyweds I know, so once they pick them up (they're in the middle of the room right now), I can play around with a new grouping in my living room and hopefully create a few new spots to display tea wares!
