After a downpour of heavy rain last week, I'm so ecstatic to see some signs of spring here at Marie's Maison.
This Momma hummingbird built her nest just three weeks ago, and now here are her two tiny baby hummers. Isn't this the sweetest thing ever?
In my front yard, already getting a profusion of white flowers
And the sweetest smelling scent of pink jasmine!
These white chippy garden pieces are my latest finds from a salvage yard. The pair of shutters, balusters and metal bistro set were priced right at $70 dollars. They are just impossibly irresistible.
My kind of look for spring!
And these pieces?...Thrift store jackpot finds
The night stands are now transformed to these
More thrift store finds...a collection of glass bottles
A 3-tiered etagere
Vintage inspired flower buckets
I made these bundled vintage books, a Restoration Hardware knock-off...only better ;-)
Mostly now for sale in mon petite shoppe at Olde Ivy Antiques

Ahh, spring IS in the air at Marie's Maison but not here at Suburban Retreat! Your first blooms are lovely and the birds precious! I love all your newest garden treasures and those wee tables have been completely transformed into French Chic! Your customers must be delighted with your wares!
Ah! Mon amie, I am soooo jealous of your tres manifique jardon. It will still be months before mine even begins to look like that with snow still on the ground (and more expected tomorrow!). Oh spring has not yet sprung here in the Northeast and your pictures will have to suffice until it does.
Merci beaucoup for sharing!
Marie, I am so looking forward to spring! Your garden is looking pretty already. The hummingbird is so sweet! I think your books look better than Restoration Hardware. You rock! I also like the shade of brown you used on your little tables. Nice!
Have a great week!

Enjoy the spring time! I have snow falling outside my window as I write....ugh.
Wow! What gorgeous thrift finds! Love your look for Spring. Beautiful.
Agh...to live in So-Cal. Up here in Nor-Cal it is chilly and gloomy. Wanna trade? Everything looks beautiful Marie, marcia
Wow! It sure looks like spring! I've never seen a hummingbird like that, with nest and babies, they are sooo cute. Looking at your pictures, I noticed that I have a bottle like the crown decanter, do you have any idea how old those are?
Hi Marie,
My bottle is like the one you have in the picture before the last one, (the one in the middle with the tag "crown decanter") now I know more about it, I'm so excited that it is French!
Thank you!
Hi Marie-I love everything! and I'm so jealous you actually have flowers growing outside!
Your shop and yard both look lovely.

Marie your garden is so beautiful and those hummingbirds are adorable!! What an amazing picture! I love your new treasures for you shop too, the side tables turned out beautiful! So glad that weather is getting better for you!
Can you please send some of that "spring-ness" this way?? Here in Minnesota, all we have is cold weather and snow, snow, snow! :-)
Happy Monday Darling! xo
OH..my it is looking like spring there. That little hummingbird family is soo cute. Love all the things you found for you little shop.
Your garden is lovely. It's great that you live not so far away from me and we have such similar tastes. Bravo on your daughter graduating from UC Irvine. Great school! Mine graduated last year from NYU. Cute dogs, cute husband. C'est magnifique.

Hi Marie,
I can't help making sounds of ooh and aah..looking at those flowers and you have so many beautiful decoration there, you're so lucky to get the shutters, bistro metal chairs etc for $70!!! i've been searching around my area for those chairs but none are cheap even in a 2nd hand furnitures shop! i love what you did with the two side tables, i love the vintage bottles, i love everything!!! you're sooo good in transforming those furnitures and decorating! Thanks for visiting my blog and I printed the keep calm cards on the internet :)
Bonjour Marie! I found you via Lorene's blog. The hummingbirds are sooooo special! And I love all your wonderful finds! I'm a treasure hunter too *winks* Vanna
Oh Marie,
I LOVE your signs of spring in the garden and absolutely ADORE your salvage finds, especially the shutters. Lucky girl! Wish I could visit your shop. Thanks so much for sending spring our way. :)

What a precious picture of the hummingbirds. We have not seen many signs of spring here. I really enjoyed looking at all of your wonderful photos. Love the vintage bundled books and the nightstand transformation is amazing.
Your flowers in the garden are gorgeous, Marie. And great finds for the store!...Christine
Oh my! I love all your wonderful finds!! Those little side tables turned out so pretty! Lots of great stuff for the garden too! So antsy to get out there and get my hands in some dirt but am afraid it will be awhile yet here in Colorado. More snow due Friday I think.

Awww... I LOVE the sweet picture of the hummingbirds, Marie! Spring is definitely on its way for us, too... can't wait! The verbena bushes down our driveaway are getting ready to bloom their white flowers, as well as the fruitless pear trees that we have scattered throughout the garden... can't wait! I see your pink jasmine is about to burst into blooms. Ours isn't quite ready yet... don't you just love the scent?!
Love all the goodies you have in your shop, too!
Have a great day!
