A really simple, gorgeous way to decorate for Spring

I know ...Spring? Who am I kidding? It's snowing outside right now as I'm typing. Maybe one day Spring will come, and when it does, you should try this really cute idea. It's from Southern Living Feb. 2010, which revamped their look a few months ago, and I'm really liking all the issues so far!

These two photos are so pretty. If you have woods or trees on your property you could even create your own bouquets.

This is a good idea- use strands of grapevine to support the stems. I like the look
