Welcome! I'm always so excited to invite Spring, and YOU, into my home, so come on in! If you're hopping over from one of the other 7 bloggers on this Loveliest Looks of Spring blog hop, I'm sure you've been loving all of the pretty Spring details as much as I have! I'm happy to be a part of this talented group of bloggers (all listed at the end of this post) and I hope you enjoy this hop!

Since my husband and I typically eat at the kitchen bar (or on the couch, if I'm being completely honest), I thought it would be fun to "play dress up" with my breakfast nook table! This white space was begging for some perky Spring colors, so I went with my favorite shades of aqua and turquoise for items like the plates, pitcher and cute egg-shaped container. I found most of these products at my local HomeGoods store, but have linked up the same or similar products at the bottom of this post.

Years ago, my Gramma gave me this pretty bracelet and I think the dangling charm and toggle clasp is what make it one of my favorite pieces from her. We always spent Easter up north at their house and have lots of great memories of finding Easter eggs...sometimes in the melting snow! (I'm from Michigan, remember?)

My necklace is new, but it still holds some sentiment. You see, the women who craft the jewelry at Starfish Project are women who have been saved from human trafficking and other bad life situations. This necklace, and every piece of jewelry they make and sell, represents hope for a new life. Isn't this so fitting for Easter, too? Although I certainly love all the bunnies this time of year, the true meaning of Easter is that we have all been given the hope of a new life in Christ. 

Okay, I have to tell you a little secret...these tulips are faux. And actually, that makes me love them even more, because how sad is it when flowers die? Laugh all you want, but these tulips will be looking fabulous for a very long time! Ha! ;)

Do you want to know why I'm smiling in the below photo? Because I just realized I could hide my precious Starburst jellybeans in this container!! I always buy them just before Easter and end up eating almost the entire bag all by myself. Oops. 

P.S. Did you know they sell *just* the red jelly beans!? Only the best idea since sliced bread, in my opinion. 

A little champagne at brunch never hurt anyone, right? ;) I absolutely adore these wine glasses! They are plastic and perfect for using outdoors, too! I sat down for a moment to take a sip, and look who had to join me...

The Easter Bun isn't the only one who likes carrots...and now it's clear why we have a counter-height kitchen table and stools, isn't it? She could still eat right off this table if she wanted to. :)

It's true that the grapefruit tree outside produces plentiful grapefruit all year round, but there's something extra delightful about a freshly picked and chilled grapefruit this time of year! 

Another "perfect for outdoors" purchase are these beautiful melamine plates!  They are also smooth on the bottom so they won't scratch your table.

The grapefruit fresh from the tree may not look as "polished" as the ones you see in the grocery store,  but trust me, they are way better on the inside! ;)

Besides the juicy grapefruit, the grapefruit tree also produces these AMAZINGLY fragrant blossoms which begin to open in late February or early March. I trimmed some small branches with blossoms and set them in a small bud vase on our living room table. They seriously fill the entire room with a delightful scent. 

I'm surely not the only self-proclaimed "Candle Queen", right? I must have at least one candle burning at all times! This candle brand is one of my faves. They have a pretty long burn time and are very fragrant. 

I want to say THANK YOU so much for stopping by today. I hope you'll subscribe to my blog (if you haven't already) before you go! There are more Springtime updates in the works and I'm looking forward to sharing them with you soon! Don't forget to keep scrolling for the rest of the gals in this hop! ;)
