Guess who's coming- to stay in this room...
To rest their weary heads on these pillows...
Why there is even a bunny to greet them...
And here they can sit...(o.k.- when they move all the pillows :)!)
The "Happy Tree" sits just inside the door in my studio- it's filled with lots of handmade treasures- most from talented etsy artists- 
A few of my favorites...
The best cake I ever made (calorie free- lasts forever!), the beach ornament -it even has a tiny shell on top, a pretty little house, and this sweet hanging pillow has 5 birdies nestled in a tree- one for each person in our family.
Another "birdie pillow,
and of course... a Cross... which I will spend this Holy Week focused on.
Just a peek from the studio this week.
I just HAD to share her!
Welcome back! I have now realized I may have to join "Easter Anonymous"! I promise this is the end of the tour- can you believe it's not the end of the decorations though?! Guess I'll save the rest for next year! I told ya'll- I LOVE Easter!
See all those eggs on the mantel? That's a tradition that started when I was a little girl, a precious lady in TEXAS has been making and selling these for years, each year my mom and I would go choose a few "special" eggs to add to our collection. When I started my family I continued the tradition with my children- on Spring Break we visit the "Egg Lady" and they each choose an egg for the collection.
Look! how cute is that owl?...and the frog, birdhouse....
Showing some "team spirit" here...a few of our favorites...
Oh, the flamingo! I LOVE flamingos!!! Could it be they are pink? (my favorite color) or that they are tall? (like I wish I was)or that they remind me of the summer?! (my absolute favorite time of the year!)
The kitchen table- where we spend ALOT of time! I go a little "crazy" in here-
The chandelier gets gussied-up in ribbon happiness, along with hanging rabbits and Easter cones.
On each child's chair they have a "special critter" tied on...with ribbon - again - of coarse!
The Prince's chair- he loved frogs as a little boy!
Princess #1's chair!
and Princess #2's chair!
The "spring" wreath from Jes! :)
The kitchen island- this bunny bowl holds eggs we have made in the past, painted wooden and paper mache eggs.
Princess #2 presented me with these "pretty rocks" from the playground at school- she thought they were "so cute and little and a pretty color"! I love little treasures from the children!
and most important of all....the reason we are celebrating this season!
Thank ya'll SO much for joining me on the parade! How about a little something fun?
Welcome back ya'll!
I added the bunny candles to the candlesticks. The lamb got a splash of colorful grass to rest on.
A little down the entry you find the "royal court's" chairs! I LOVE these!
Oh, the butterflies are back! They come out every Easter and stay through the summer!
What's that in the corner?
A silly bunny - he must be playing "Hide and SNEAK" (as 6 year old princess calls it!)
Oh, vintage butter pats! I LOOOVE them! I collect them- they are getting hard to find now though...so sad! I really want to hang my collection in the entry on either side of the mirror in the first picture. Just trying to decide how...
Welcome to the "Easter Parade"!
This is absolutely one of my favorite pieces of furniture- an antique black dresser- paint peeling and all!
For Easter I add the little "bunnies on a stick" to the pots of greenery, with some ribbon around them- of coarse! The little bunny box gets to sit atop a little black stand- f.y.i. : just putting something on top of a stand elevates it to "special- hey look at me!"
Funny Bunny!
"Hey, look at me! I'm special!"
This sweet dish is here year round also, except Christmas. See the beautiful jewelled, clay cross nestled in there?
