Easy Ideas for More Spring Pretties

The English Country Homes and Interiors magazine showed this delightful setting for Summer which I thought was perfect for our Spring.

Once again pink is the order of the day but they have mixed pale pink with bright pink and white with lots of pretty blooms. Notice that the blooms are all in small containers, both glass and tin.


Pretty soft pink stripes for the chair cushionsFrom tumbler is this Sring table setting using a floral table runner, lots of green elements and a rustic setting



Several paper crafts are suggested such as this clever idea of punching flowers as table confetti



I really love this one, cutting out flowers from wrapping paper and glueing on sticks for a novel way to serve sandwiches

Using doilies to cut your own cupcake wrappers

And choosing some pretty papers to make gift boxes

I cant wait to try all of these ideas!
