Easter Decorating - Part 11 - (and a bit of a home tour)

Hello, Dear Friends, I wanted to share 

the rest of my Easter decorating before 

the holiday was over, so I am back again today! 

This post is photo-heavy, so grab a cuppa 

and maybe a little snack :)

The unsettled weather gave us a beautiful rainbow

last night just before the sun set. 

Today we have a clear view of Mt. Rainier, 

but you can see the sky still has clouds, 

although the sun is hazily shining through. 

I might go outside and work in the gardens today, 

if all goes well. 

I clipped some forsythia and sweet box

from the garden to fill my vintage basket vase. 

The rabbit is terra-cotta. 

I framed a dear greeting card from my daughter

a few years ago. 

It is a little work of art, made from 

tiny cut papers. You can't see it, 

but the eggs have glittered decorations. 

A wider view - can you see the little lamb

on the glass egg? 

The heart of my kitchen. 

My table doubles as a large work station

for baking and cooking prep, as I have very little counter space :) 

My vintage stove at the end. 

I've always admired those kitchens 

that have nothing on the counters 

and no clutter. 

But this is a hard-working, hand-built little kitchen, 

and I like things within reach. 

 Looking the other way......

Through the green door......

My cupboard that houses my 

pressed glass collection on top

and my cookbook collection

in the doors below, which is 

already overflowing onto the shelves! 

The sign on my wall. 

I've shown this before.....

A little herd of sheep from Kathy's blog Etsy shop.....

safely out of reach from Kai :)

and a pressed glass egg. 

The egg plate and footed dish were my Mother's

wedding gifts in 1953. 

My hand-built hutch (by someone named Bruce

or E Ruce, in 1964), across from the daybed. 

It was in a tiny cottage we rented in the 

late 70's when we lived in Oregon. 

The landlord gave it to us when we moved

in exchange for all the upgrades we made to the 

tiny cottage :) 

I later added the curtains and the decoupaged doors. 

My remaining lamb is safely living up here now :)

The Beatrix Potter book - The Tale of Jemima  Puddle-Duck. 

Don't you love the name, 'Jemima' ? 

And who doesn't love a puddle-duck! :)

This sweet box held a decorated egg :)

It's the center one. Two birds on a rose stem <3

The colored eggs are sidewalk chalk! 

I love the dusky colors......

Vintage flocked bunnies

on my entry table. 

My sweet Sis sent me the vintage table runner

all the way from New Hampshire :)

Sweet vintage style postcards are 

actually from new scrapbook paper. 

Painted wooden eggs and a sweet bunny box 

from my daughter's childhood on my end table. 

The round brass box on the dictionaries is a vintage compass. 

My little settee gets the bunny treatment, too :)

I sewed these when my children were small. 

My Mom made this little bunny

for my children when small. 

Complete with paper 'cabbage' and 

hand-sewn carrots :)

Tucked behind the settee is my 

indoor garden. 

You CAN put all your eggs 

in one basket :)

I love the picket fence baskets. 

Another childhood relic. 

I have a few indoor blooms for spring. 

Indoor and outdoor blooms 

to make me smile :)

Weenie Baby loves to photo-bomb! 

I hope that you enjoyed my little house tour 

and my Easter decorations, dear friends. 

I am making some sweet gifts and 

baking something special 

for Easter and I will share those 

with you later. 

I am going outside for the day, 

but I will catch up with you all tonight. 

xoxo
