\t\t\t\tWe always say, \u201cIt\u2019s the little things that count.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed.<\/p>\n

As we huddle here in the final stretch of winter, I find myself dreaming of details,<\/p>\n

the little things that make spring so special.<\/p>\n

A \u201ccan-you-guess\u201d sort of quiz that gives you a close-up glimpse of the coming season’s lovely little things.<\/p>\n

Scroll through the images and their multiple-choice identities, below, and give \u2018em a guess. Some are more obvious than others, but all are dream-worthy. The answers are at the end.<\/p>\n
