early spring backdrop

everyones talking, blogging, tweeting, jib jabbin about it...spring has arrived. 

in bellingham, tulips & daffodils blooming

the carlsbad ranuculus flower fields bursting

in bend theyre shoveling snow

michigan students are graduating in jackets and hats 

trees budding, streams flowing and

in pasadena its reaching the lower 90s...

despite our mid week heat wave, i wanted to share our mcguire home's simple table backdrop

as a celebration of the transition of seasons i wanted a dainty, natural - yet colorful backdrop behind our kitchen table.

part easter, part spring, part handmade.
