As the snow melts and the days grow longer, spring brings a renewed sense of energy and warmth. It’s a time to shake off the winter blues, embrace the beauty of nature, and refresh our homes and routines. At Danforth, we love celebrating each season with meaningful traditions, handcrafted treasures, and a touch of New England charm. Here are five ways to welcome spring in style!

1. Refresh Your Home with Spring Décor

Say goodbye to winter and bring in the lightness of spring! Swap out heavy blankets for airy linens, add fresh flowers to your favorite pewter vases, and decorate your table with nature-inspired accents. Our Ginkgo Leaf Napkin Rings and Wobble Chick Set add a delightful seasonal touch, perfect for Easter and beyond.

2. Enjoy the Outdoors with a Picnic

Spring is the perfect time to take meals outside. Pack a picnic with your favorite fresh fruits, cheese, and a bottle of wine, and head to your favorite park or backyard spot. Elevate your experience with Danforth’s handcrafted barware, from elegant pewter wine stoppers and wine charms to classic cocktail cups—perfect for toasting to the season. Don't forget to bring along a pocket token or a lucky gnome for a little extra magic on your outing!

3. Celebrate Easter & Springtime Traditions

Whether you’re planning an Easter egg hunt, setting a beautiful brunch table, or giving thoughtful gifts, spring is full of joyful traditions. Our handcrafted Spring Ornaments, featuring bunnies, flowers, butterflies, and delicate eggs, make wonderful keepsakes for loved ones. Hang them in windows to catch the light, decorate plant pots for a whimsical touch, or display them on branches for a charming seasonal centerpiece.

4. Brighten Up Your Look with Spring Jewelry

As we trade in our cozy sweaters for lighter clothing, it’s time to accessorize! Our spring-inspired jewelry and accessories, like the Pansy / Purple Wire Earrings and Necklace or clover accessories, add a pop of color and charm to any outfit. Handcrafted with care, they bring the spirit of spring wherever you go.

5. Find a Fresh Start with New Traditions

Spring symbolizes renewal—so why not start a new tradition? Whether it’s a weekend hike to see the first signs of budding trees, planting a small herb garden, or journaling about things you’re grateful for, find a way to embrace the season with intention. And if you love collecting meaningful keepsakes, our seasonal ornaments and keyrings make wonderful tokens to commemorate the new season.

No matter how you celebrate, spring is a time of growth, renewal, and beauty. As a small business, we’re honored to be part of your seasonal traditions, helping you create moments of joy with handcrafted, timeless pieces.
