Fantastic Five: The Rites of Spring

Many bemoan turning the clocks ahead and losing an hour of rest but that also signals the arrival of Spring…the season of renewal and hope and for many, warmer temperatures.

So before you go outside for a breath of fresh air, enjoy these signs of spring by our talented Zibbeters. If you search for “spring” you won’t get outside until it’s dark as you check out all the amazing selections.

After reading about today’s Fantastic Five, selected and written by Barbra, also check out over 2,600 more fabulous Spring items on Zibbet and nearly 1400 items tagged “Easter” and the “Easter Gift Guide” where all Zibbeters can add their own Easter items.

1. Spring Easter Yarn Door Wreath by ItzFitz $35: Wreaths are an all year long décor item and this one says “Welcome Spring!” This lovely was created out of sparkling white yarn with soft yellow banding highlighted with a silver chain-style ribbon, and a branch of spring beauty nestled in the curve! ItzFitz suggests your front door, in your kitchen or on your wall and they are right.

2. Spring Time Drink Coasters by Hill Country Collection $15: Planning a spring get together?  These bright and cheery coasters are a perfect addition from HillCountryCollection. They come complete with a liquid barrier so they  don’t allow liquids to come through the coasters. Pretty and clever!

3. Marimekko Earring and Hair Pin Set by WillowBe $8: Decorate your ears and your hair with this wonderful set from WillowBe. Fabric covered earrings and hair pin will show off your style. The set shows green leaves and as in nature the leaves are greening now.

4. Tulip Tree Flowers Original Watercolor by Wrensroost $35:  WrensRoost welcomes spring with this delicate and beautiful watercolor piece titled “Tulip Tree Flowers” . It was painted on 9? by 12? on cotton cold pressed paper and the flowers are certainly a welcome sign of spring. Although not related to the tulip flower, there are similarities in the leaves and flowers of the tree. This piece shows off the beauty of the flower.

5. Tangerine Lace knitted shawl by Berniolie $85: There are cool spring nights and what could be more enticing than wrapping yourself in this gorgeous shawl? This tangerine shade will work well with any outfit. Berniolie knit this dynamic piece using cashmere and angora so you know it is wonderfully soft.
