So the saying goes, "April showers bring May flowers." What happens when we all ready have April flowers? We get to enjoy them early! Now is the perfect time to start decorating your house to get ready for spring.

Here are some items that will help you continue to enjoy the late-spring like weather:

2.Firefly lantern – Catch fireflies all spring and summer in this adorable see-thru lantern. Great gift from Grandma! Perfect for a deck or patio.



3. Uncle Sam – You may not know who to vote for, but you can still celebrate our Democratic system where we are lucky enough to have a vote.









4. Garland with mini lights – Do you love the branches with lights? Now there is a garland to drape over a fireplace, doorway or even over your kitchen sink. You can add flowers for spring and change it up for fall as the weather cools. This will become a year-round decorating staple in your house.


5. Bird Bookends – The cutest idea for a bookshelf – it is a single bookend with a built in lamp with two birdies! One of the classic trends in home decor is using a combination of books and other items to decorate a book shelf. Lamps, decorative book ends, vases, and other items are perfect to add visual interest to any bookcase.
