. Cute jars for storage – my white bunny jar came from Home Bargains, I think it cost between £1 and £2 and is a really nice big size to put all sorts of bits and bobs in. Right now I have a Yankee candle votive in there, some hair clips and pretty lace clippings. It’s somewhere to display pretty things whilst keeping them safe. I also have a pink opaque jar to hide away things like tippex and blue tack.

. Hanging hearts – I bought this set of three wooden hearts from TheLittleLoveHeartCo on Etsy, the same place I purchased the gorgeous deer heart in my girly bedroom makeover post. These are smaller so are perfect for popping on your pin board your bed frame, or for hanging on your drawers. Perfect pretty dorm room decor ideas!

I love the patterns, the two floral hearts remind me of Cath Kidston designs and the woodland creature print is my favourite, it’s adorable! I’ve just noticed there are little birds and flowers in there too. They were packaged so beautifully and postage was free. I’m really loving shopping on Etsy at the moment!

. Easter or spring themed phone case – another way to work in some spring vibes is to change up your phone case. I always keep my phone next to me, especially when I am working on something and absolutely love my Fifi Lapin case. She is the most fashionable Easter bunny haha. You could even change up your phone wallpaper with this little soothing wallpaper compilation I made here!

    I LOOOVE your mug! I know it's nothing new as you've shared it on your blog before, but every time I see it, I fall in love with it all over again. It's the cutest little thing! // I have a stemless wine glass with a clever print on it that I use to hold pens 🙂 And for little bits and bobs, I like using jars or shallow dishes!

    I admit that I'm not one for fresh flowers most of the time and usually immediately hang fresh flowers up to dry to give them more longevity, but fresh blooms are especially lovely for spring 🙂 -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's

    I love the hanging hearts! So cute. And you can put them everywhere!
    In spring I love getting small bunches of flowers to have on my desk, it instantly looks more seasonal. Daffodils are my favourite!
