Spring Made Simple

So, I visited the Pottery Barn Outlet this weekend.  I hadn’t been there in ages, and oh. my. goodness.  I was like a kid in a candy store (except my 6 year-old was with me, and it didn’t have the same candy store effect on her.  It was more of the whiney-kid-in-a-furniture-store effect).

But, I did get a great idea for a fun Spring vignette:

That sneaky Pottery Barn and all of their beautifully staged rooms and inspiring vignettes.  Here is the Pottery Barn purchase that got it all going…

I already had the apothecary jar and moss on hand, making this a $10 project. 

Even the moss was on the cheap – 99 cents from Goodwill.

Simply add the moss and make your pretty little bird’s nest on top of it – does it get any easier than that?

Hello Spring – we welcome you!

I need to go back to Pottery Barn Outlet when I have no pint sized companions and a wallet full o’cash…

Exhibits A through F:

I rest my case.

    OOooooooh I want to go shopping with you there badly Jenny!! My local PB outlet is part of a Williams Sonoma kitchen store; no furniture, just linens and cookware, etc. I would love to check out a furniture store! I need a new couch, lighting, the works! Love your mossy terrarium….I need to steal that idea.

    Beautiful! There is just something about robin's egg blue . . . especially when it actually IS robin's eggs! Gotta love inexpensive decor that looks like a million bucks!

      Thanks for your kind comment Patricia – the Pottery Barn Outlet is in Jeffersonville, OH – might be worth the trip if you were looking for some big ticket items. 🙂

    the apothecary jar looks so sweet! We don't have a PB outlet….oh how I wish we did! Although, the credit card would likely suffer!

    Thanks for this great Easter decorating idea, Jenny! I was just getting ready to haul the apothocary jars back up to the attic (from a project months ago) and now I have a good excuse to keep them down at least another week and use them like you have for Easter decor. I saw your post over at "Dear Lillie" Easter party.

    Came over from Dear Lillie…. so happy I did. I have two large apothecary jars that I haven't added anything to yet for Easter and now I know what I want to do. Thanks so much for the idea. Happy Easter!
