Decorating for spring is what I love. You can freshen up rooms with potted spring flowers, green boughs, and branches. My sweet (step) mom, Ginny made me the prettiest banner, Happy Easter. I love it, so festive and a reminder of bunnies, eggs, chicks and ducks – the symbols of rebirth!

Happy Easter Banner

Our yard is popping with blossoms right now, which we are so enjoying. They’re breathtakingly beautiful right now. A few trees still have barren branches, but most have budding flowers.

When I bring branches indoors, like these quince branches, I smash the bottom of a branch with a hammer. This helps them absorb the water, when you place them in a vase or vessel.

Right now we have pussy willows in one area, and a quince branch in another.

A striking spring statement!

Today I’m sharing a lovely Carrot Banana Bread recipe. You can choose to add chocolate chips on top, or not. You can even add coconut, which would toast nicely in the oven.

There are several options; you can make it in a loaf pan and serve for breakfast or brunch.

You can make the bread (cake) in an 8×8 baking dish, and serve it warm with fresh whipped cream!

Whatever way you choose, enjoy, take in the beauty of the season, and look around for branches to bring indoors – gorgeous reminders of spring and rebirth!
