Easter in the Details

A little freshening up, a bunny here and there, my little birds placed front and center and besides the goodies, that pretty much sums up how I decorate for Easter.  Subtly.  I would like to add a bit here and there as I find the time to get crafty and make a few things.  But here it is for now - 

I love the look of this carved bunny.  He fits in all year round, but has a place now where he'll get noticed.

Those are all real eggs.  I'm sure that wee bird is wondering who produced that giant one.  Actually,
it is a dwarf chicken egg.  The wee blue ones?  I'm not too sure, but I accidentally knocked down
a little nest last year while mowing, and the mama never came back.  Temperamental little things. 

This is a vintage creamer from the Bunnykins collection.  I look for more pieces to add, but I never find any.  This one
was a gift to my children from their Great Aunt.  She asked me to put it out every year for them.  Aren't they
a lovely little family?

This quaint fellow used to have a friend, but my kitties apparently didn't like
him, so he ended up in little terracotta pieces all over my floor.  I actually
had no idea they were terracotta until that one met its demise.

An overall look at my dining room. I just love the embroidered blooms on the
linen square and it comes out as soon as anyone mentions Spring. It doesn't
matter that the someone who mentioned it is 1000  miles south of me, it
is Spring somewhere.

    Your spring decor is lovely. The carved bunny is beautiful. And...........Bunnykins. Who doesn't LOVE Bunnykins. Stephen has some Bunnykins books when he was little. Such sweet little characters.

    Answering you FB question: No, Giroux doesn't seem to bother the orchids. He did "play" with my bat plant flower and pretty much destroy that. But, that was when he first moved in and still had a lot of kitten antics. A few stern NOs and he learned to not bother the plants.

    On the other hand ......I could say NO until I was blue in the face and he would STILL steal scissors! He has this THING for my embroidery scissors. LOL

    You have some interesting pieces-the carved bunny and the terracotta one are a refreshing change from the usual twee decorations.

A Blog Event That Caught My Eye

This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered. I had absolutely no idea where it would go, how long it would last, or if I would get any response. As it turns out, none of that matters. I just love to do it. And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway. A stone necklace with various findings. All findings are silver plated and it has no clasp because it measures a long 33 inches. I can not wait to see what everyone else is doing.

Snow Day!

Image
It has been a wonderful, drawn out fall.  I've enjoyed easy walks around my yard well into December, and more time outdoors than I usually get during these first two winter months. This balance between indoors and outdoors is essential to keeping me feeling good.  I hate being cooped up in the house for too long without a breath of fresh air.  It makes me tired, and I'm a grouch when I'm tired. Yesterday, Old Man Winter decided to correct his oversight in our corner of the world, and deposited between 6 and 8 inches of snow.  It looked light and fluffy, but it was actually very dense and it took a lot of work on my husband's part to tidy up the driveway. The prairie I walk in out back was so completely whited out, it seemed as though I was getting nowhere, even though I could clearly feel the muscles in my legs straining to get me through the snow.  It is actually quite dizzying to be looking at nothing but pure white and trying to move forward.  I had ...
