~~~Spring on the Coffee Table!!!~~~

Good Friday morning!!!I wanted to show you the coffee table in the living room all dressed up for Spring! Spring is appearing all over the house and I love it. I also go around thinking, "this is the last time I will decorate for Spring ion this house!" I have to admit, it is a little bittersweet. We built this house 28 years ago. My children were 15 and 12 when we movrd in. BUT, we have such memories. Good and bad of course, that is just life. But we look forward to this nEW chapter in our lives!!!! So without further ado, here is the coffee table. I ADORE this bunny!  He just FITS in this house.

 I replaced the dark runner with this creamy one then placed upon it my blue and white planter that I love, filled with ivy; a bee skep, the bunny and then I used a glass pillar candle holder to raise the nest! Aren't we all "feathering our nests" right now?! Do you see the LARGE blue and white planter under the coffee table? It used to hold a tree but the tree wore out so it lives under the table right now. In the NEW house it will, once again, hold a tree. I CAN"T WAIT to decorate the new house!!!!!!!!!!

 I love the HANDLES on this planter.

 Cute bee skep.

 The sun came out and filled the room with light!!!!

 AHHH, I love the sunshine!

Hope you enjoyed your little tour. I will link up with these parties and I hope you will visit some of them for wonderful inspiration!!!!

Easter in the Dining Room and an announcement!!!!

Good afternoon everyone! I am so happy to report that I found my camera!!!! I am back in business!!! First of all, do you like my new header? I have to thank, once agan, Yvonne from Stone Gable for helping me with this. I had no clue how to do this:):) She is SWEETER than you all imagine and I am BLESSED to call her my friend! Now, another announcement before we get started: Joe and I are MOVING!!!!!!!! We are so very happy and excited and I am thrilled to take you along on this journey. We are building a new home in a 55+ community. I am anxious to take part in all the great activities they offer and have use of the beautiful swimming pool!!!! So, look for upcoming updates. We just signed all the papers yesterday so it is official!!! I just took two friends to see the model of our house and they LOVED it. It is a GREAT entertaining house, and we love to entertain! Ok, this is a new arrangemnet I made for Easter. I found the stems with the eggs on them and knew they would be perfect with my sparkly bunnies that I put here on my server.

 The table has a cutwork runner, my arrangement of tulips, 2 pink pillars and my beautiful ceramic bunnies that were a gift from my daughter MANY years ago.

 I found these cute candle rings at World Market in Fl. when we were there in Feb. I sure wish we had one up here!!!!

 The tulips are arranged in the faux water. They are sittng on a glass cake stand to raise them up to thier rightful stature.

 Some sparkly eggs are strewn on the table too.

 The sitting bunny...

 and the standing bunny.

 Pretty flowered "necklace" is around her neck!

 Here is the server as it looks now.

 Some close ups of the arrangement.

 I placed a pretty nest in there too.

 Love these pink berry stems.

 Oh, good grief, my eyes are getting bad....this is upside down:):) I wanted to show you the pretty tulips. Can you stand on your head??????:):)

 Now I will show you all the SPARKLY bunnies!!! This one holds her own Easter tree!

 Here, Mom, let me help you!

 Found this one last year at Steinmart.

 These 2 chicks and bunny were found at the place where I used to work for 75% off! So, of course I got 2!

Happy Easter SEASON everyone. I am so glad to be able to join in the fun at these parties:

Kristen's Creations for Share Your Creations Party,

The Charm of Home for Home Sweet Home,

French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday,

Thanks so much for stopping by and thank you to all of you that wrote and said you would pray I found my camera!!!! Your prayers were answered!!!!! You all are the BEST!!! XOXO, Pinky

My camera!!!!!

First of all, I have to send a HUGE thank you to Yvonne, at Stone Gable for helping me with my NEW HEADER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't it purty???? She is the SWEETEST, most generous person! Now, MY problem is that my camera is LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am beside myself, I can't blog!!!!!!!!!!!! We have searched the house, the cars, everywhere. Please say a little prayer that it turns up SOON. That is why I have been MIA. OY!!!! Thanks so much. Love to you all, Pinky

~~~The BUNNIES are Multiplying!!!~~~

Happy SPRING everyone!!!! I am so happy to usher in Spring and I decorated the kitchen for Easter. I wanted to share some BUNNY goodness with you all. This is how the hutch that Joe made me has looked since Christmas was put away. Tropical palm trees and organic elements.

 Now we are switching to Easter decor. I have a large collection of bunnies but will be giving many away to my daughter when their house is built. She is asking if I can spare some so that is fine with me! Here we have the hutch all decorated for Easter. The bunnies on the top are all faux chocolate. I found them at K MART several years ago. They carried them for 2 years then not again. Look for them on some tablescapes in the future:)

 This is a new little guy this year. I love him and was so happy to find him. I had to get pictures at night of this one so had to put the flash on:(:(

 I added 2 small faux plants on each side.

 This little cutie was purchased at a craft fair many years ago.

 This is part of a pair...Mr. and

 Mrs. bunnt:)

 My server in the breakfast area gets dressed too. Please excuse the chicken amrinating in the bowl in the background:) This is real life people:)

 The napkin holder and

 S and P set also came from K Mart!

 Here is another pair of bunnies, found this year. Here we have Mr. and...

 Here is his Mrs. I love the SCRIPT on them and her cute hat made of grapevine with the black and white ribbon!

 Thes next 2 are 2 of my favorites too:)

 So cute!

 This is a ceramic bunny nestled beside the microwave.

 I found these 2 Easter platters at K Mart one year too. They carried some really cute things.

 On the tabl;e sits a tulip vase with some faux tulips. OH! I just realized I didn't include a picture of the tulips!! I will go fix that:):)

 I did my windowsill too.

 Going from left to right....

 And I am sure you now know what this guy is for.....

 YUP, my scrubbie:)

So, next I will take you into the dining room for some more Easter decor. I hope you will come back XO, Pinky    

I will join these linky parties:
