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…?
