Easter Decorating on a Lovely Morning

Hello, Dear Friends, I hope that you are 

enjoying this beautiful month of April,

wherever you may be. 

We are having typical spring weather,

here in the foothills of the Cascade mountains

of western Washington state. 

One minute the sun is shining beautifully, 

and the next there is a sudden, cold wind,

dark clouds and rain. 

So, while the weather sorts itself out, 

I decided to bake some delicious 

banana muffins and do some Easter decorating. 

You can find the recipe on Deb's fun blog, 

Here. 

A gal needs sustenance for a decorating session.....

and an inspirational bit of reading. 

Do you read while you nibble?

If I am sitting, I am reading.....

I picked some pansies from my pot garden on the deck, 

and set a pretty place for myself with my 'new'

depression glass pretties. 

These are so good with or without butter :)

A sweet illustration from the book

by Tasha Tudor. 

Oh my, that was good! 

I'll clean up and then I will show you some of 

my Easter decorations. 

I've hung my hand-blown, painted glass eggs 

from my chandelier this year. 

Each one is a little bit different, painted with bunnies, 

lambs, ducks and chicks. 

My table has a simple centerpiece of 

faux checkered lilies

on an embroidered linen table-runner. 

The bunny is a painted rock :)

I am not hosting Easter dinner this year

so I have kept it simple. 

We will be having dinner at my son, Gabe and wife Erica's

 home with the whole family. 

I've put my dishes and pansies back on my 

cupboard shelves. 

I've had the ceramic egg for years and it 

perfectly mimics the flowers in the jar. 

This sweet little dish was a gift from my daughter

Heather. The nest has a little bird and 

speckled glass eggs. 

 I won this tiny cross-stitch on a blog

give-away a few years ago. 

The blog is no longer........

My little basket holds more glass eggs. 

Weenie Baby enjoys a little sunshine on the daybed :)

She has sweet company. 

I had two sheep - this one and a white one....

I wonder where the white one went? 

Oh no! :0 ........

Who could do such a thing?!?

Me: "Was it you, Kai?" 

Kai: "Who, me? What? Who did what? Where?"

Me: "Sigh........It's a good thing you are cute."

Kai:  "I'm always getting the blame!"

Me: "If the shoe fits...."

My little farm table. 

My daughter, Jennie painted the ceramic egg box . 

A tiny spring fairy with her pet bunny has 

moved into my primrose Easter basket. 

Hand-painted blown eggs .....

Part of my collection of Beatrix Potter books. 

I recently found the Wedgwood plate. 

It has a rather disturbing little quote on it :) 

I've found that most children's books of a vintage 

nature sometimes have scary 'lessons' inside. 

My Mom and Dad made the wooden bunny hanger. 

They used to sell crafts at a local shop :)

More hand-blown and painted eggs.
