A little pop of yellow for Spring!
One of my most popular posts at HoH is my Cheese Dome Cloche.
But after over a year of admiring my little green mini apples, I wanted something brighter and lighter and more Springy.
I’ve had my eye on mini plastic lemons for months now, but for FIVE bucks a box, I just couldn’t bring myself to buy them.
Last week at HobLob I found these little mini lemons on stems for .80¢ a bag! Score, right?! A grand total of $2.40 instead of $5. I’d say more than 50% cheaper is a pretty good score.
Obviously the stems are a problem though.
I went to my garage and got a pair of pliers that has a little cutter on it and just snipped off each wire. I’m sure a pair of scissors would have worked just as well too.
Then I just filled up my cloche with my new lemons. Now my kitchen is ready for Spring!
I also think the lemons stand out more against the black base than the apples. My my cloche “pops”.
Before & After:
I love it when something so inexpensive makes such a huge difference!
Plus, now it totally matches my Rodney White Lemonade canvas in my kitchen!
See my lemonade print in the background?
{Don’t worry, an updated kitchen post is on it’s way…}
Are you ready for Spring? I’m so not! My lemons are the only Spring decorating I’ve done so far. Bad Allison! I haven’t even decorated my mantle for spring yet. It’s shameful.
Please give a big warm welcome to my newest Sponsor!
This is so cute! LOVE IT!
I’ve been keeping my eye out for a cheese dome at Goodwill but so far, nada. Boo!

The lemons are SO cute! And when I found out they were MINI lemons–I actually smiled. I love mini everything. Well, almost everything… 😉
Delicious!
Love the yellow
Yay for spring!
Now…I’m off to go make some lavendar lemonade!
Now this makes me laugh…..I have my cloche sitting out on my table with a bag of lemons next to it. Great minds think alike….lol
Oh I love those lemons. I love it when you find something cheap and beautiful!

I so wish there was a Hobby Lobby near me:( I keep hearing such great things about it. I need to find some lemons to put in my cloche! Thanks for sharing your fabulous ideas:)
Ok, I love the lemons! And that print caught my eye, so I checked out your link to the post about how you aquired said Rodney White canvas. Now I have a new obsession! His stuff is amazing! Thanks for sharing that, I think 😉

I don’t decorate for spring at all. I keep feeling like I should do SOMETHING, though…?
I can’t even think spring with all this moving I have going on…LOL…The lemons are a really great add for spring, they look so refreshing!!
