Don't you think forsythia is one of the prettiest flowering bushes? It is blooming everywhere around here, it's one of my favorites. It has always signalled the first of spring for me, so I was inspired to do a basket for the door with some silk forsythia.
I've had this long narrow wall basket for several years now, but this is the first time I've used it on the front door.
Remember the twigs I used in the centerpiece on the dining table? I had enough left over to stick several in with the silk...it really helps keep it looking real. I also used a little ferny grass to pump up the green too.
I'm ready for Spring!
I hope you are having a great weekend. My boys are on spring break, so I hope we get to do a lot of fun things before I start chemo on the 26th. Talk to you soon!
I love this!!!
ReplyDeleteYes!!! Love me some forsythia too. Happy Spring Break! Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteMichelle: The basket is perfect. Forsythia is one of the first blooming bushes of spring, but around here the flowering quince beats it a little bit. Both beautiful and I always just think of a wreath on the front door, but this is much prettier...Have fun with your boys..Judy
ReplyDeleteYour basket is gorgeous and is such a beautiful welcome to your home for the spring season.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your boys during spring break and all the best to you as you begin your chemo treatments.
The flowers are a perfect touch of spring! I can't believe the warm weather we have been having. Have a good time with your boys! You are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI love the springy touch on your door!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with Spring Break and I'll be thinking about you as you start with your chemo treatments. I'm so sorry it's to that point. Thank you for "putting it out there" and letting your "friends" in blog world know about this time in your life. I'm a firm believer that the more people you tell, the more prayers that are offered in your behalf. And who doesn't need extra prayers? I'll be praying for your recovery!
The perfect welcome! I have some of that sitting in my garage, guess I need to pull it out and use it! Have fun with your boys.
ReplyDeleteLooks Great!!
ReplyDeleteThinking and praying for you...........
Best
Stunning, Michelle! I never would have thought to put a basket on the front door like that. You are brilliant, my dear! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteJust bought some at the store the other day, lovin yellow!! I will be praying for you as you start this next step in your journey. Stay strong. Hope you are having a good week.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, love the long skinny basket and the arrangement you made. Have a fabulous time with your boys this week!!
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you - I don't like forsythia at all! To me it is nothing but a weed. I told my hubby "When we build a house there will be NO forsythia bushes on the property!"
ReplyDeleteBUT... that door hanging is really pretty! I think it is just the long white basket, LOL.
That looks so pretty, love the way it all looks in the basket. Thanks so much for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteMine is in bloom and I love it! The skinny basket is great on the door and the arrangement is perfect! I'm keeping you in my prayers. Have a wonderful break with the kids.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was real too! Looks great, especially a great contrast to your door color. Keep the ideas coming!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous arrangement. I had a cornocopia I wanted to hang on my door with forsythia in it. LOVE how you added the feathers. Pinned this of course.
