Hello Spring… I think I love you. Especially here in Maine, where at the lobster house, anything is possible.
My husband doesn’t even question me anymore when I say things like…. “I think we should make some giant Easter eggs and put them on the house.”
I love that people walk by and tell us our house is such a bright spot to the community. This would never be possible in an HOA neighborhood. HA HA HA.
And I love that my husband believes me every single time I say I need him to cut just a few more buoys…
I wasn’t looking for another arts and crafts project when we were on the hunt for a new house… It just sort of found us. And I love how that happened.
Spring at the lobster house. It begs the question… What’s next? 😉
I was thinking of a red white and blue theme for summer. But maybe there’s a holiday we’ve forgotten about?
This place has been so much fun… I can hardly believe it sometimes. It’s been a beautiful, fun, HAPPY distraction to everyday life and I love it.

Wow! Love the designs on the buoys and the super cute eggs!
Lynn from NC Outer Banks says
Another winner, Mavis and another big smile on my face! Thanks for sharing your creativity and joy with your neighbors and us!
Lesley says
Exactly what the doctor ordered!
I would think red/white/blue would work from Memorial Day all the way through the 4th of July!
Holley says
This may be my favorite!!! I love all the different colors! Is there anyway that you could just tweek this one a little to have a flower/garden theme before you move on to red, white and blue?
I’m so glad to hear that it brings joy to your community. I know it does for me also!
Jennifer says
Autumn in my very most favorite season, so those bats were the clear winner in my book, but Easter is my very close 2nd place favorite! Those eggs take the cake, and I love the different colors of the ropes. Curious… do you now leave the lobsters up year round, and just take the holiday decor up and down? What a fun thing for your community to see!
Mavis Butterfield says
Lobsters will stay up until it’s time for the bats… I think. You never know. 😉
Cat says
I’d laugh even more if you made the lobsters Halloween costumes along with the bats. I love that the town embraced your vision.
Susan from Florida says
I second that! That would be awesome! I could totally see capes and masks for the lobsters.
debbie in alaska says
AMAZING!!!!! This would make the world so happy
Dawn says
This just made me smile on a gloomy day. It’s so cheery looking!
Susan says
Red and white and blue theme would work for Memorial Day and 4th of July.
Sue S. says
I stretch out the red/white/blue theme to include labor day at my house
Kelly V says
I say leave red, white and blue up through 9-11.
J in OH-IO says
The giant Easter eggs are so pretty with the design and color choices! Everything looks fantastic! You have my interest and curiosity peaked and I look forward to whatever is next! Thank you for taking us all along on your adventures!
Sue says
The Easter buoys and eggs are wonderful! I love all the bright colors. Welcome, Spring!
I think next year your lobsters need to be accessorized with pink bunny ears!
Richelle says
That would be awesome!
Jean C says
You could do a flower / vegetable theme to help promote you produce stand?
Cherilyn says
Bright and beautiful- if I saw that while out and about, it’d make me smile! Maybe some flower/spring themed buoys could go up for May/June, before the red white & blue ones make their debut. May I suggest a few ice cream cones for the summer decor? Thanks for sharing your crafty creations!
Trace says
Pure happiness..I wish I was your neighbor ❤️❤️
Annette says
I was so excited to see the Ojai tangerines in Whole Foods today!!!
They are delicious!!
Barb H says
Flag Day is June 14th so your red, white and blue will cover 3 holidays!
Kimberly Vassar says
This is wonderful…I think a back to school theme would be great for late August/September…bouys painted like pencils
debbie in alaska says
Red, White, and Blue will look amazing with the lobsters and the pristine white house.
DianeGA says
Maybe some daffodils and tulips decor to celebrate Spring? Then red white and blue for memorial day through Fourth of July, at least. Or even all summer.
Jen Fitzpatrick says
I’m thinking you need a summer theme with lighthouses, whales, dolphins, etc.
