"A Spring in my Step . . . "

The ever-brilliant work of Joe Nye


Good Morning,

You would think that the use of a calendar would be fairly standardized. Well, for the beginning of Spring - you have to accept some flexibility. When can you start wearing linen? White shoes? When does 'the Spring' of textiles and design begin? When do the bright floral decorative pillows come out? When does the fall bedding get packed away?

Is it the first day of seasonal Spring on March 21st? Does one wait until after Memorial Day? Or is Easter weekend the 'starting gate' for pastel colours?

Well, with Easter weekend upon us, let's examine the following for some Spring inspiration . . . .

Now, let me clearly state that no matter which date you use to greet the beginning of Spring - no white shoes until after Memorial Day. I'm serious. I can see you.

Happy Easter,
