The candles came from a blow out sale at a Smith & Hawken store in the neighborhood and after discount I got them for $12.00.
The small bird paperweight is from Pier 1, $7.95. The same source for the tea light.
These happy dish towels came from A & P (!) and are just the thing needed in my kitchen. $ 3.99 a double pack. Hard to beat!
Cute flip flops for my daughter at Pier 1, $ 6.95, they are available in Kelly green and hot pink as well, and you could get matching polka dotted woven straw totes for $14.95
Gorgeous azaleas now on my window ledge and going to live in my garden for long: $ 6.50 at the local market.
Fresh flowers from Trader Joe's $6.50!I did not actually buy these, but they all would fit right in my scheme...
Right in time for the Easter bunny: egg crate from Anthropologie $14.00.
Spring scented magnolia candle $18.00
New favorite tea cup $10.00This list could go on...
You do not have to break the bank to get some small lovely things, which will bring a breeze of fresh air into your house and lift your spirits at the same time. And it will last much longer then the small investment might suggest!

I love the bird paperweight and tea cup! Thanks for sharing your finds. It makes me believe I can find some great items for a great price too!
ReplyDeletecandles make me so happy! and dish towels are essential to mark the changing seasons. I always feel buying flowers is frivolous spending, but the beauty and happiness they bring really makes them an essential! i love these little purchases you made!
ReplyDeleteHello there - I saw you over at ASD's and came to say hello. what a lovely collection of things you have photographed. I've also got an azalea in a pot and wondered if when you plant it outside you are going to use the special soil they prefer - or just leave it in the pot.
ReplyDeleteI got sent the plant for my birthday and I would like it to keep going in the garden - I'm not too lucky with these sorts of shrubs
Those flowers are magic! x
ReplyDeleteIt is always fun to freshen and liven things up for spring. Very cute finds. I love that teapot. Have been looking for one with a metal cozy. Enjoy planting those pretty flowers in your garden.

ReplyDeleteI love your green collection in the first photo, it has such a perfect springtime theme, thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely little treasures you have here. You are so right- sometimes the smallest little gift to ourselves is all we need to perk things up a bit...especially at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteAll of your green is so up-lifting for spring. Thank you for your sweet comment- please stop in again! I am now going to look through some of your wonderful past posts. Happy weekend to you.
Some great ideas and examples!
