Today is so beautiful and sunny….just a gorgeous day. I decided to put together a little tray of white pitchers on my dining room table. There is something so fresh about white pitchers to me and I never tire of them. When I pair them with daisies…well,  they just say ‘spring is in the air.’

Hope you are having good weather where you are.

Sigh...snow is in the air here, but I loved seeing your breath of spring. White is so refreshing and I love your pitchers, especially the butterfly one!

Just a little something from Judy said...

I knew I could count on you to add a touch of beauty and Spring to my snow covered day. The white pitchers do look perfect clustered together on your table. The daisies confirm to me that Spring and Summer will be here shortly. Thanks for the smile today.

Gayle from Southern Thresholds said...

Barb, what a feast for the eyes...The white is gorgeous, timeless and speaks Spring so much! I cannot wait for Spring to arrive as we've been slammed so much with cold and snow this year. thanks for reminding me Spring is almost here!

Lynn said...

Absolutely beautiful Barb! I love your white pitcher vases and your gorgeous dasies! We've had a beautiful sun shiny day out but it's been very windy and cold outside... I loved seeing your breath of spring!

Blessings,

Joyce said...

This is all so pretty and reminds me of my MIL's house with all the white pitchers and the pretty daisy flowers. Ah, how I long for Spring too:)

Elaine said...

It's definitely springlike here in Phoenix this week! Now that Valentines Day is over I'm wanting to do something very springlike in my home too...you've definitely inspired me to get out my white pitchers and fill them with daisies for my diningroom and kitchen tables....maybe a few other places around the house too!

Elaine :)

Barb, I've recently fallen in "love" with white. I have the same pitcher and daisies.. recently did a tablescape and used those as the centerpiece. With all the snow and cold around here, I was needing to feel spring like too.. hugs ~lynne~

~Lavender Dreamer~ said...

I love daisies! I have a vase of them on my nightstand. I always think of "You've Got mail"... she loves daisies, too! ♥

xinex said...

I can smell the flowers, Barb! Oh the beauty and freshness of spring!..Christine

Something Special said...

I am like Elaine. I live in Southern Nevada, and I think it got up to 70 today. My husband and I did some mountain biking in the desert on his lunch hour. I am sure getting the spring bug to with my decorating, and you have given me a wonderful idea with your white pitchers.

Jeannette said...

Morning Barb! I opened the door this morning and I could smell spring in the air rising from the snow! Maybe it was my imagination?lol I have two of these pitchers!(and the daisies in the basement!lol) Just love white; I'm so obsessed with white pottery now!Love that tray they are on too! I picked up a white bunny in Pier 1 yesterday($8 & cute) so I'm off to play with another Spring vignette. Hope you have a fun day - I'm off to try and pull my familyroom together!lol dining room is on hold!!!lol lol

White does always feel so fresh! Love all your white pitchers. It's sunny here too but freezing cold and every now and then there are some snowflakes!

Barbara said...

Oh yeah me too Barb, it is so cold here, and for Southeast Georgia it has been way too long.. Stay warm and lets will Spring NOW...hugs

ShirleyC said...

After having the biggest snowfall we have had here in a very long time, these pictures are very refreshing. I think everyone is ready for spring.

Beth at Aunties said...

It all looks so pretty and fresh. The daisies make me want spring! So here in Utah, I too am wishing and hopin for spring! The sun isn't shining here... yet, but I expect it soon to peep out of the clouds!
Enjoy your week and stay warm!~♥

Ana said...

Sharing with Sherri said...

Hi Barb!

It's a beautiful day here in Cali too! I really love your collection of white pitchers!
My daisies are about to bloom, and I think when they do I'll have to put some in a white pitcher that I have! Thanks for the inspiration!
Hope you have a nice week my sweet friend!

Luv,
Sherri:)

Joan said...

It's so coincidental that you have white pitchers today. I put out 3 white pitchers on Sunday except I don't have any flowers in mine yet!

heartfelt living said...

Hi Barb ... Spring has certainly found its way to your home. I love the white look too! Everything seems so fresh and airy. Just lovely.

Stacey said...

Very pretty Barb. :)

I noticed spring trying to visit today too. A flock of robins landed in our backyard for a bath in the pond. I love to see them.

Gorgeous whites, Barb! Truly stunning!

Susan B said...

The daisies are just beautiful...as are your pitchers. Thank you for sharing a lovely reminder of Spring! :o)

(Thank you so much for your prayers.)

Sandy aka Doris the Great said...

I highly covet that rooster in your top picture!

So, I've given you a Happy 101 blog award; come pick it up on my post today.

Melissa Miller said...

Barb this is so lovely, fresh and happy! Spring is on the way.

~Blessings, ~Melissa :)

VictoriaS said...

I am especially looking forward to spring this year. I think the totals for winter of 70.9 inches of snow in our area are leaning me that direction! It might not be a lot to some but for this area, it's been tremendous!
Love the white pitchers.

Judy@cutest-little-things said...

As much as I LOVE spring, I'm enjoying winter so much this year! And I'm saying that with 40" of snow in my yard while I hike about in 21 degree temps!

There's something to be said for the joy and beauty of each season of the year, as well as each season of life, isn't there?

Hugs,
Judy

Beth said...

Love your whites - so fresh and springy!

Love your white pitchers!! I've been collecting them for years and just love how they look. I have mine in my kitchen on a shelf that goes around part of the kitchen.
