Watering Can Turned Spring Decor

I am sharing my kitchen island decorated for Easter/Spring. I used silk flowers, a old watering can, bunnies and the little ceramic bird shakers. I am dual posting. Click on the Metamorphosis Monday button, hosted by Susan, from Between Naps on the Porch.





This watering can is my real one that I use in the garden. See the rust, or should I say patina.

    I love the galvanized watering can. It's definitely patina or at least character.

    I love your pretty spring arrangement. I also like the knobs on your cabinets. I need some new ones. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Please return again anytime.

    Looks great! I really like the watering can used this way! The bunnies and birds are cute with it as well!

    I think the "patina" adds just the right touch! Thanks for stopping by!

    Very pretty! Thanks for your help on my sink skirt. I'm going to fix it one of these days and then post a pic. I'm so glad you came by.

    Mornin'!
    Thanks for stopping by my blog - Katy said that there was just a "bit" of fabric left. She's saving it for the possibility of a baby bonnet or perhaps a little baby boy vest -- IF they ever have another baby.

    Karen, I just love this! How cute! And I see that you have your little Target birds guarding your wonderful arrangment from any magpies who might just like to take it as a souvenir! ;-)

    Great job!

    XO,

    Sheila :-)

    Oh, it looks so pretty and cute! I love the flowers in the watering can and the little bunny sitting there. Your figurines look good all together, quite the collection!

    Hi Karen, I love watering cans and yours looks great with the flowers. I've probably said this before, but we have glazed cabinets and beadboard backsplash, too, so I feel at home in your kitchen! We have a light speckled silestone countertop, but I do love the black that you have. Linda
