<p>Just realized that I still have jars of candy canes in my foyer! I know that I need to find something more seasonal, but am stuck. Is it too early to get out the spring/Easter stuff? I’m not really into St Patrick’s day.</p>
<p>I’m hosting my card group next week and would like to have something done. I’m not “crafty” and am not willing to spend a lot of time or money on this. I do have some hurricane jars that I like to fill and love candles and flowers.</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>
<p>For early spring you can have forced ■■■■■ willows and forsythia branches. Pots of blooming crocus bulbs, etc. as well.</p>
<p>IMO green is also a nice early spring color independent of St. Patrick’s Day.</p>
<p>I’ve been doing sparkly, wintery accessories post-Christmas. Pretty, inexpensive things that I purchased at Pier 1. Had never been there before this holiday season (was looking for something specific and was sent there) and have been back a couple of times since to pick up some pretties.</p>
<p>I leave some “Christmas” decorations out that are winter rather than Christmas…pine cones, Cardinal, snow man stuff.</p>
<p>I typically rotate to spring the first weekend of March.</p>
<p>I think it’s too early for Easter decorations since that’s still over a month from now. We have winter decorations this time of year usually with a snow theme. Of course, if you live in the south, you could possibly get out the spring stuff now. The stores are now selling bulbs such as tulips and crocus.</p>
<p>Stay with particular colors/flowers for the season. Winter white, dark reds, blues. dark blue/with yellow for a table.<br>
My friend for years as a wedding shower gift would give a box of decorations that included every holiday of the year. She collected them all year. It was really fun!</p>
<p>Where we live, it’s definitely Spring-Time, bodering on Easter.</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestions. I looked at some spring bulbs today but will wait until later in the week to buy. I don’t know if any winter stuff is still in the stores; but next year I will be looking for some wintery “non Christmas” items like the sparkly “snow” and pine cones to put out at this time of year.</p>
