Spruce up your home for spring.

Spring time is with us again and Easter is just around the corner.

I love this time of year, seeing the daffodils and the tulips bloom cheers the heart and can make the dullest day seem bright.

In the spring I get an inbuilt motivation to sort out those cupboards, declutter and then get into the shops to purchase some lovely new products, filling the space I have just created.

In Jack’s Nic Nacks this week I have selected some new lines that are out there in the high street, which I intend to go out and purchase for my home, but equally they could make a great Easter gift.


John Lewis, never cease to amaze me with the their choice of products. They have some great affordable Easter gifts in stock at the moment. I've Selected a couple below:




£24 Hotel Chocolate thick chocolate egg

 

Meri Meri Cup Cake holder £9



John Lewis chick egg cups £4 each

 

Easter Things to make and do £9

Easter Dining

I think Easter time is an excellent opportunity to gather the family together for an afternoon treat, and there's something exciting about creating your own table. You don't necessarily need a coordinated dinner service. I've often used a "mix & match" method where you can utilise what you already have, adding those extra Easter touches. Which makes your dinner table your very own unique creation. Below are some designs from Portmeirion, a great British brand that are available on the High Street at the moment."Instead of flowers, create a centre-piece out of fruit or nuts or chocolate: things you can eat after the meal."

Here is a personal favourite of mine and a sneak preview of Diane Von Furstenberg's glamorous new tableware which will be available from Selfridges in the near future.

I hope you enjoyed this week’s blog. Next week; I will be giving my recommendations on purchasing Royal Wedding Commemorative items as a reminder of Will and Kate’s big day.

Until the next blog then………….
