Decorate for Spring
Make a fun, cheery tablecloth out of a pretty floral sheet. Cut down to size. Try an iron-on binding for the edge.

For a simple centerpiece, fill a glass water pitcher with lemons and limes. Yellows and greens will cheer up any table.

Pansies are one of the earliest annuals. Pick some up and decorate your home and outdoors with them.
