The clouds gave way to sunshine today, and that seems likely to continue for a while now - so I was inspired to change to my spring/summer curtains in the kitchen again (after 3+ winter months with my redcheckered ones). Long term followers will recognise them...
I also put up these hens (cross-stiched by my mum) on the door between the kitchen and the hall (usually kept open):

Other Easter decorations will have to wait a bit yet; I don't like to put those up too early. But the hens came up as I keep them in the same chest as the curtains and table cloths...

I do like your curtains, they are very spring-ish
This is wonderful and detailed work by your Mom. You know I have always adored these curtains. If I knew where to buy them, I would do so in a flash. They match my kitchen too. I might give another try on Amazon, I know you have had them a long time though.
Lovely, delicate curtains - perfect to welcome Spring!
Yay - Monica has put up her flowery curtains - it's spring!!! :-D
You know how much I like the way you decorate your flat, going with the seasons.
For me, a little Easter decor has already appeared; it's only four weeks to go, and with Christmas, I usually decorate four weeks before the day, too.
Thanks Amy.
Ginny, I searched my blog and found that I got these curtains in September 2012 - to celebrate having got the old windows in my apartment replaced with new (triple-glazed) ones. While I did not remember the year, I'm pretty sure I bought them at my local supermarket. I doubt they'll be on Amazon twelve years later - but what do I know... ;-)
Thanks Duta.
Meike, just as I tend to decorate gradually in December, I kind of do the same in spring - starting with changing the kitchen curtains and some table runners etc to more springlike colours, but waiting a bit with Easter eggs and such.
I always look forward to your changing of the season in your flat. it is amazing to me how much different it looks when you change out curtains and a few items here and there. the curtains in our home have been there since 1989, they need to be washed now but if I do they might just fall a part
Sandra, I tried washing a pair of bedroom black-out curtains once, that turned out NOT to be a good idea - they did "fall apart" and I had to buy new ones... As for the kitchen curtains (not black-out, and made of cotton), I don't wash them every time I change them, only if it looks/feels like they need it.
