Yes! It is Friday! and Springing into Action?

Show and Tell at Kelli's is so much fun...HOP over there and you will see so many wonderful items and ideas! Today, I wanted to show just a few touches of Easter around our home.

I am sure many of you have these bunnies from $$ Tree last year!

My daughter just gave me the little birdhouse. It says, The Lord Bless You and Give You Peace....

Sorry this is such a grainy photo, but it is a LITTLE angel my granddaughter gave me when I saw her this week. She is three but picked it out herself for Grandma!

Enjoyed lunch with my grandchildren at this Pizza place.....

Getting a sketch done...my grandson just got glasses!

I enjoyed being able to spend some time with my babies!! They sure love those games...Grandpa has to keep getting more coins.

I am doing ok on my treatments. Little more tired and a little more blah...but livable! One week almost done - 5 to go!! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Sounds like Spring is starting to show up! Go outside and enjoy!!

A Tisket, A Tasket

some bunnies in a Basket!

****Edit****the bunnies and the basket are all one, made from resin. I found it at Hobby Lobby this year!!****

Spring is in the Aire Tablescape!

Spring is in the air, everywhere I look around....la, la, la....(insert rest of lyrics here if you know them cuz, well, I don't!)

When I thought about my spring table, I just looked for everything I had that was pastels or flowers. Nothing was purchased just for this tablescape except the centerpiece, which came as a surprise to both me and my husband. He ordered me a Christmas centerpiece from QVC and forgot that he did auto delivery. Surprise...spring centerpiece....

The sweet cups my friend Candy gave me as a Christmas gift. There are 6 of them, each a different color. I love the triangular saucer.

Isn't the centerpiece yummy!

Square placemats are from my good ole grocery store a couple of years ago. Each is a different color. Square plates are from 99 cent and Everything store, I don't know when!! The little round plates from Target Dollar Stop about 2 years ago. The napkins were a Big Lot find and the flatware good ole Target! Now, Rose from A Hint of Home wants those napkin rings....I have had them for years and have gotten their money's worth! The little flower candles, again all different colors and types of flowers...the ever famous Dollar Tree.

Cracker Barrel eggs...oops, I was wrong...these are new! I have pink and green ones also.

Cute little duck creamer....ducks like spring too!

Hey, looky, I almost got the whole table this time! I am getting better, hey??

You will see some of these items again, when I do my Easter table. I just change out a few things. But not yet!

Now I am off to visit other Tablescapes at Susan's. Join me!!

**Update on me.....I will be starting Tomotherapy treatments every week day for the next 6 weeks. I chose to try this first before major surgery. I would appreciate any prayers that it will be effective. I don't know how I will feel during this time, but I hope well enough to post some and visit all of you. Thank you for all your concern***

AND...I just had to post this lovely thing. Now, don't laugh...but I just felt like proving that I do cook and bake! and eat off of the plates I show!!!! This apple pie was made from 6 different types of apples and let me tell you...it is yummy, if I have to say so myself! TA DA......ok Kathy, I am ready for my award!!!

Pillow Parade

I know I am a bit late, but when I saw that Kari and Kijsa was having a Pillow Parade, I just HAD to join in...my dear patient husband would gladly tell you...we have pillows!
These are the grouping of throw pillows on our guest bed.

This is truly one of my favorite pillows. It has a picture sleeve...I added the picture of my beloved cousin Connie and me one Easter.

My other favorite pillow. I nearly broke my neck one year when I saw this at a boutique. I always watched Martha.

Even pillows outside...for a quick nap on a beautiful day!

Pillows in the Family room....

Pillows in our bedroom...Love the monogram K!

And many of you know, if it has a "dingle dangle" all the better!

Pillow on a chair in our bedroom!

Pillows on the chaise in "MY Room".

And of course, every tea lover needs a tea pillow!

I am heading off to Ross...and now that I am in a pillow mood...I just may have to check for a new one....

I Just had to Buy her!!

I am adding this post to Kelli's Show and Tell. Be sure to visit all the other participants. You won't be sorry.
We needed to get the girls from the ensemble back to church EARLY...so we were sitting in the church looking at the newspaper sales. I said, "oh honey, I need to go to Target...I want to buy one of these. They are only $3.00! Hubs: "What do you need that for? You are a GROWN (he surely did not mean OLD) woman!" Me pouting...
So after church he stood his ground and took me to Target. We went straight to get her. Then hubs said, "You better get a few for gifts...that's a really smokin (his exact words here) deal!" I couldn't punch him then, I needed him to hold a few packages.....
Here she is.
2009 Anniversary Barbie. For $3.00!

Oh, but you KNOW the story isn't ending here. In the hope chest I go AGAIN. I know it is there.....yep, yep.....

THERE she is, a little worse for wear! (no comparisons here please)

My original Barbie! Ok, a moment here please. Deep breaths....

Seriously, can you STAND IT!????

Pink Spring Things...for Pink Saturday

Today is Pink Saturday at Bev's. I thought I would show just some of the pink items that say spring around my home.


You all know that I love purses. My friend Candy for my birthday gave me the purse shaped cookie jar. The sweet banner is from the 99 cent store with its pink butterflies and blue dragonflies. The little bunny was another purchase there...it lights up. Same store was where I found the 4 egg cup holder. See the sweet bunnies for handles? My pink and yellow teapot, again from Candy for Christmas. The little ceramic tea strainer rounded out the birthday gift. Notice the pink rose and the tiny bee on the handle. And finally just another 99 cent purchase...sweet little bunny candy dish.

It Feels like Happy Days - Tablescape!

Rock around the clock!! I am having two young ladies spending the Saturday evening at my home. They are in the Master's College Ensemble. So, I thought a fun tablescape for snacks would be appropriate! Chips and Dip....and some cute cupcakes are on the menu.

The C*ke dishes and flatware I have had probably 12 years. The glasses are from DollarTree...you gotta love that store. Salt and Pepper shakers and can opener, mini pop bottles, and mini lanterns from Cracker Barrel and Napkins from 99 cent store. The little red transitor radio playing the oldies is my hubs and the C*ke tray is an original from my mom. I do not remember where the little lamp came from...probably CB years ago!

One, two, three o'clock...that will be me, visiting all the other tablescapes hosted by Susan.

This and That for Monday...

Plain starfish from Walmart $1.84

Martha Stew*art glitter from Walmart 3 bottles for around $5.00

Voila! Glittered starfish....oh, this is addicting!

And dinner was at Cracker Barrel. Isn't this precious? I love the cream color. Ooh, I think Dream In Cream would like this!! Yes, I bought some things today...I have a tablescape in mind and my bunnies, well, I told you they multiply! You will see soon!
