Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!
After I removed my Christmas decor from my 3-tiered stand I wasn't sure what to replace it with. Since all the lemon trees around here are filled with lemons right now I decided to go with a lemon and lime theme.
When my mom bought this tiered dish in the early 60s, the shop had ceramic lemons displayed in it so I'm sort of recreating that look.
This cute little bunny gravy boat belonged to my mom. I've always loved it so last time I was visiting my dad it came home with me. I had it packed away during the holidays but since he has a little lemon on his back I decided to display it on my table.
Some of these lemons are from my backyard and some are faux. I went to grab a lemon out of here last night for our salmon dinner and I had to squeeze a couple of them to find the real ones!
I have a ceramic lemon topiary in my kitchen and I love how they two rooms tie together with this lemon theme.
I added some real lemon leaves and also some Camellia leaves to add a little greenery to it. I think this will stay through January but I'm already thinking of how I can decorate it for Valentine's Day.
In case you missed it, I did another post earlier this week! I'm going to try my best to post more than once a week in 2013! For years I posted 5 days a week! I'm not sure how I kept that up for so long, it makes me exhausted just thinking about it!

Your three tiered stand looks fresh and spring like filled with lemons. How I envy your lemon trees. It's below freezing here in Idaho. Happy New Year and thanks for hosting Cindy!
Big Hugs,

Cindy, I can just imagine how wonderful the fragrance is in your home with this lemon stand. ;-) Great idea for starting off the year. I may fill a bowl with lemons and put it on the dining room table.
Thanks for hosting each week. I can't imagine how you posted 5 days a week. That's work! ~ Sarah
I really like the lemon and lime display. I was looking at my container of them the other day and decided I will leave them out longer.
Thanks for hosting again this week.
Wishing you a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous New Year!
Love your use of the lemons, I use oranges too. Thanks for hosting again this week, Laura

Beautiful! Those lemons look like a breath of fresh air after all the Christmas decor comes down.

Thanks for hosting.
I love the lemons- so springy which I am craving in the cold of winter (albeit a California winter).
I love lemons! I think it's time to paint them again! Thanks so much for hosting Cindy!

Sitting here on a snowy winter night, I can't imagine picking lemons from your own tree! It looks so bright and cheery.
Happy new year Cindy! Le tue foto con i limoni sono bellisssime!!

The lemons look so fresh. Happy New Year. xx
You lemons look beautiful. Happy New Year and thanks for hosting.
Love the fresh sunny look of the lemons and white! I'm so jealous- always wanted a lemon tree but our climate (and my lack of horticultural skills) doesn't allow it- Thanks for hosting Show and tell Friday!
Thank you for hosting!
I love the bright pop of yellow from the lemons! Perfect for the winter time blues! Thanks so much for hosting : )
Love Always,
Liz
Cindy, I remember that beautiful lemon centerpiece. So funny the faux looked like the real. I also love the topiary on the kitchen counter.
We have friends who have citrus trees here. I keep telling Bob we should try. A friend has, Meyer lemon, lime and orange trees that are productive.
So neat that you can just go out and get lemons when you like.
Happy New Year, Ginger
What a pretty tiered stand! I love the pop of color with those lemons.I can't tell which are real and which are faux!
Thank you for hosting! Have a great weekend!
xx
Anne
beautiful. I always love the fresh look of lemons, and the leaves are especially a nice touch! Happy New Year Cindy!
Love lemons and they feel so fresh after the holiday stuff comes down.
How great you remember how it was when your mom bought it! Anything from our moms is so special! I absolutely love decorating with lemons. Here in the Midwest I might be pushing it a bit, though, so I'll probably wait until
xoxo

What a great idea to mix the real and faux! I've got a bunch of fake lemons. I think I'll pick up a few real ones ;)
Happy New Year!!
Thank you for hosting, have a great weekend.

The lemons are delightful. Such a wonderful pick me up for this time of the year. I love how they work with the blues too!
Cindy
Your china cabinet reminds me of one I sat across from for many years at my mother-in-law's house. Funny how something triggers memories.
Cindy, thank you for hosting...love your lemon display!
Such a bright and cheerful post to view on a dreary cold day in NC. Love that you have a lemon tree to enjoy. I can't look at a lemon without being appreciative. I had terrible morning sickness with my first pregnancy and someone told me to cut a lemon in half, carry it in a baggie and smell it anytime I got queasy. It worked... and she loves lemons now!! Love your blog! Melinda
The lemons look so pretty! Thanks for hosting!
What a beautiful lemon display! I wonder how long it will take ME to change out my Christmas decor? Ha!
Blessings,
