Vintage-Inspired - Early-Spring on the Shelving Unit

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

I've been adding Spring touches to the top of my shelving unit in my entry-room.

My ideas for Early Spring are bringing out the green pip-berries, small lavendar flowers, pussy willows and bird prints

***

I decided to keep the rusty lantern and added a cute little handmade nest, 

I kept a couple of my small crocks with added florals. 

Last month I thrifted the Perennials magazine with the purple crocus on the cover, I thought the color was great for this vignette.

As you can see I incorporated a thrifted green Fire-King Mug, Terra Cotta pots with a handmade flower bulb I crafted a few years back. Terra Cotta pots are a must for Spring.

***

This gorgeous Bird print is from The Graphic Fairy  I think it looks wonderful in this Vintage Wooden Frame, I thrifted last Summer yard selling for a dollar.

***

This Americam Bird Guide- copyright 1949, was a fun auction find last Spring.

***

I brought my Wooden Seed Box from down in the den and placed it on top of the shelving unit. Filled it with small terra cotta pots a handmade bird nest with a few Robin blue eggs.

I also used a rusty crusty oil can, from the Familyroom and I just added Spring florals.

***

The bird prints look wonderful with the rusty-crusty and the pottery pieces.

These cute little Satin Floral Covered Take-Out Box/Purse caught my eye.

They were $2.00 each, so I paid $1.00 each, the Green Satin Floral Covered Take-Out Box/Purse, looks wonderful for Spring!

Looking throught the dishes, I found this adorable Platter with Red and Yellow Flowers for $2.00, it's stamped Japan. I paid $1.00

I couldn't believe the price!

(Lately, this thriftstore has had very high prices on vintage items.)

I had picked up the little sugar bowl in the last part of January  on 1/2 price Tuesday for $1.50. It looks like to me that all three were part of a set.
