Spring arrived March 20, but I didn't complete the Spring Thimble display until April 1. But, Spring has sprung now in Thimble World. The colorful trees are blooming! And, I have several new thimbles that I added in the displays.
Right side has Asian gardens and lovely country setting.
The center has a beautiful village.
The left has a plantation and the hacienda plus more!
Tucked into the mountains and protected by "the wall" is another Asian thimble. To the right is a windmill on a lake.
The Asian gardens on the right side.
Countryside. Lakes and more! New house thimble out front. It doesn't show, but it is very flowery and Spring-looking.
Horse-drawn carriage and wagon cruise the streets of the village.
Spring winds knocked down a tree, but the driveway to the plantation is still open. A fountain graces the front of the hacienda.
Covington Mountain and vicinity are bright with Spring colors.
I found a big collection of thimble houses and so I was able to rebuild the display with lots of Tudor houses the way is was a few years ago. So, many of these are new thimbles. Although not a Tudor, I especially like the house that matched in color to the windmill on top. (I used almost all of my original Tudor houses to build the Oktoberfest display for the fair and I ultimately kept it together.)
The lake is now surrounded by a house that its base spills out over the water with a boat. Because of Easter coming shortly, I thought my new church fit in well. The house has lovely windows that work well with the church.
The cathedral is here for Easter. The house on the far left is new and has flowers on its base. The house and water wheel at the base on the bottom are also new. I made the house to go with the wheel and then the base for them both to sit on.

The fairy ring display is still out.

The nook is similar, but I added the little display of trees with a house thimble inside. Note the Bigfoots.
Lots of greenery that's still on display for April.
Welcome to the country store where the kids can play on a see-saw and throw pennies in the well.
These gnomes are still tending the campground.
I love hummingbirds!
Spring/ Easter wreaths to we
