Easter

Our Easter holiday this year was low-key and lovely, spent with my in-laws.  We had good food, good conversation, good wine....yes, life is good.  :-)

I'm sharing pictures of my Easter decor and a few other things.  Hope you enjoy!

First up, bunnies.

This momma bunny and her baby were given to my youngest daughter for her first birthday.  They were left in the attic in a bin full of stuffed animals due to lack of display space in her bedroom.  I rescued them to use at Easter time.

Eggs, eggs, eggs.

I have so many plastic eggs.  This is a fun way to see many of them at once.  My youngest arranged these for the dining room table.

Two of these tiny terracotta pots sit on my kitchen windowsill, displaying blue eggs.

These quilled eggs were done by my husband's grandmother, who adored crafting.  I love setting these out in the spring as a beautiful reminder of her.

...and here are the miscellaneous photos...

Paper carrots, set on top of my doorknob collection.  I found an old Delacre cookie tin at an antiques store, filled it with natural excelsior and display it on my coffee table.

Limoges china inherited from my great aunt.  It had belonged to her first husband's aunt before that.  It's old!  Love this cheese/butter dome.

A vignette arranged on a shelf in my bathroom.  Yes, that's a soap box used as a decoration.  I think it's very pretty as well as useful.  It gives height to this little scene.

Can't recall the name of this daffodil, but it's a version of Tete a Tete, a miniature breed.

Most people get chocolate bunnies in their Easter baskets....

Thanks for your visit today!  Please leave me a comment to let me know you stopped by.

Peace and blessings to you,

Easter and Tablescapes

Hello!  I have some pictures to share with you today, some taken on Easter, some just after, as I was putting away the silverware.  It was a bright sunny day, and I had fun arranging things on my dining room table to photograph.  Enjoy...

Fruits of labor:  the Easter morning egg hunt.

Cristabel watches as the eggs are opened.

Loot from the eggs gets divided into bowls.

Can you see the heart-shaped moth on the screen?

Delicate paper carrots...or turnips.  I've used a picture frame as a tray.

Bought these at Tuesday Morning for a couple of dollars each.

I'm sure someone's wondering why I took so many pictures of flatware.

These belonged to my grandmother, and I don't take them out often enough.

I love the way silver twinkles.  I even love it when it is tarnished.

When my in-laws moved South, they let me look at their tag sale items first.  
I chose this cream and sugar set.

A close-up of a silk flower arrangement.

This German-made teapot belonged to my father's mother.
I love the delicateness of it.

Peace and blessings to you,

 

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!  Tomorrow we'll be having dinner here for some of our family, and the day will be busy with an egg hunt for the girls as well.

I wanted to share a few spring decorations that are on my living room coffee table with you:

Plastic eggs, in blues and purples.

A sweet bunny, with a crackled finish.

A bit of the front door wreath.

I love mercury glass.  This candlestick was a Target bargain - $3.00!

Thanks for joining me!
