New Vignette on the Kitchen Bar

Good morning! When I put the bunnies away, I created a new vignette on the kitchen bar. I am using birds and nests etc. I placed this miniature bird bath on the counter and added a pretty nest.
 Then I placed these birds on my wooden stands and surrounded them with pretty candle rings!
 I got this garland last year and love the blues and greens. I am using lots of blues and greens in the kitchen and breakfast room for Spring.

 I wove the garland around the wooden stands and the birdbath.
It looks like they are looking to see what's happening with the eggs:)

He's probably saying to her, "go sit on them"!!!
 A simple but pretty look for now.


Thanks for stopping by. We, and by we I mean Joe, have finished doing the mulch. Everything looks so pretty. I will get some shots in the next few days. We have had several days of rain and clouds but it is now going up in the 80's! I wish just ONE year we would get a nice Spring.  I am now starting to get my pots planted and then will get my annuals in too. Can't wait!
Have a very beautiful day!!!

Changing the hutch for late Spring with Birds

I put almost all of the bunnies away but kept some of my favorites out as we have bunnies outside too! One lived under my neighbors deck last year and I loved seeing him/her? So, after Easter, I changed things up with my birds, birdhouses, gardening things etc. We are doing lots of yardwork outside too. I always enjoy changing things up on this hutch. It is one of my favorite things cause Joe made it for me. This piece is actually a candle holder but I did a little arrangement in the "nest" that can hold a candle.
 I also changed out the arrangement on the top. I had the one with flowers and egg picks and changed to this rattan covered vase with a spray of white flowers.
 The bottom shelf kept the bunny on the stand and then I added some birds.
 On the middle shelf is a platter that was a gift from Joe's cousin when her brother was battling cancer and I went to all his appts. with him.
 I love this saying and the designs on it too. I placed a shovel that has a pot with an egg on it.
 Top shelf has 2 birdhouses and my lamp.
 I have a set of 3 of these little gardening girls:)


 I got this birdhouse many years ago up in Lancaster county.  The bird on the stand is new this year.


 I always add some greens around the base of the lamp to hide the cord.

 My gardening bunny stayed on the top of the hutch.
 I added a few flowers to my bunny bucket.


 
Thanks so much for your visit. We are set to have summer like temps on Thurs., Fri. and Sat. In the 80's so we are having another roller coaster of temps as it has been in the 50's yesterday, and today.
XO, Pinky

Dining With Birds AND Bunnies!

Good morning! I hope Spring has sprung where you are. We are having a roller coaster of temps; 87 on Easter Sunday and by next Sunday it might not get out of the 50's!!! So, I enjoy every single Spring day we have. Joe and I have been working in the yard and soon it will be all mulched and ready for flowers!!! I am antsy to plant but it is a little too soon. As I am putting my bunnies away for another season, I decided to set a new table using birds AND bunnies. The inspiration was this runner that features birds and some script. So, since I have 2 bunnies with script on them they hopped right over to the table! Lots of organics are incorporated onto this table.  Rattan handled placemats, burlap chargers, silver, pearly handled flatware and rattan covered glasses. At first I set the table with just the bird napkin ring then remembered I could use my mini wreaths as rings as you will see further down. The napkins look like burlap too.


 2 bird votive holders are at each place setting.
 Close up of the runner
and the script.
 These bunnies fit in very nicely with their burlap script outfits.. Bunnies don't have to JUST be for Easter!
 This little bird on a rock is perched right here.
 I am reusing my SPRING box and have placed in it a birdhouse, a ceramic bird, a large nest and a shovel with a pot and egg.


 This little watering can features 2 tiny birds.

 Mrs. Bunny looks so cute in her straw hat!
 The plate stack is a variety of black and white dishes. The bird appetizer plate,
 the scrolled salad plate
and the dinner plate with branches and flowers.


 The rattan covered glasses are perfect for our beverages.

 I am using the rattan covered S and P as well.


 The mini wreaths add a lot of punch and look great with the placemats.

 This is a fun table that will stay for awhile.
 As you can see, I don't have the bunnies all put away yet but will soon! It is hard to keep up with working outside and inside:)

 Happy Spring to you all!!!
 Thanks so much for your visit.
