Sourcing Spring Home Decor

Ya, I know, it is still January, although it is hard to tell in SW Montana as we have no snow and it has been in the fifties. BUT, it is time to start sourcing goods for the spring pop-up shops and I have curated some fantastic things that I can't wait to style the shop with. 

Keep reading for the details!

Let's start with this 1960, wood block print by Mervin Jules entitled Boy and Bird. It is signed in pencil and marked AP, meaning Artist Proof, which is how artists sign the first prints that they typically keep and examine for mistakes or additions they may need to make. 

I love color in the spring, and am especially drawn to blues this year. A hand-painted, made in Portugal vase and a goose and floral egg shaped, made in occupied Japan planter are a perfect way to bring in spring plants and flowers. The single, printed napkin would be cute under a centerpiece on a shelf or table.

An antique, St. Elmo patterned, blue and white vegetable dish and a pewter blue and a periwinkle blue condiment dish are a great way to add a touch of color to current dishes. They also make pretty display pieces on open shelving.

Steinberg blue floral cups, a blue and white dip dish, and a blue, metal, Yellowstone plate incorporate more blue into a space. The bird print and green striped king sized shams will work as table runners or a dresser scarf. 

A green glass pitcher, a vintage puzzle with a gorgeous scene, and a vintage, carved, coconut, floral wall hanging are subtle ways to incorporate spring in the home. 

Good faux flowers are a must (no silk or plastic ivy!!) such as these pale yellow bouquets or

these potted violets. An art print depicts spring flowers and butterflies.

I am not sure if this framed art is spring, but the salmon and yellow colors on this Indonesian fruit packaging piece are nice.

The pop-up shop won't be open again for another four weeks so I have a lot of time to curate more vintage goods, but I think I am off to a good start. What do you love?
