Spring Yellows

I've been playing around again with some of my own spring items and those things coming in for the sale.  I don't think I'veever has so much fun as I do now with arranging.  With every new item that Ibring into my home for my upcoming Open House, come more andmore opportunities for creating new vignettes. It's like havingan endless supply of toys.  My favorite time of spring is when the forsythia and the daffodils bloom 

at the same time brightening up the outside landscape with their 

brilliant yellow.  Last year I decided I wanted to bring some of thatyellow inside to brighten up the interior of my home and I made
this arrangement with faux forsythia I purchased from JoAnn's. 

I decided to use faux flowers so that I could use them year afteryear and not be continually cutting on my outside bushes.  I madeseveral arrangements and have a wreath for the front door to match.This large crock sits in my non-functioning fireplace and in the summerI switch over to sunflowers and poinsettas during Christmas.

I'm working on a group of picture frames that I want to turn intoblack boards and decided to go a little on the wild side and paintone bright yellow.  It made the perfect partner for this fireplace trio. 

If the weather stays warm, any day now the forsythia should pop outand the outside of my home will match the inside.  I can hardlywait for my favorite splash of  spring color.
