Spring Mantel and Cloches

I'm late for the Mantel and Cloche parties...

you wanna know why?

because I have a stash of Easter goodies

 that I simply cannot find!

I have lots of places to store things,

and I'm trying to get more organized,

but dang it...

I've put them somewhere and now I can't find them!

I need to start making notes of where things are.

Anyhoo, I found these little guys and they are getting to be center stage.

Come to think of it,

maybe they hid my vintage bunnies from last year

so they could get the primo mantel spot.

oh yes, just look at the guilt written all over that face!

This paper mache buns I've had for probably 28 years,

he still is a favorite, but needs a little TLC in the paint touch up department.

I bought some paper eggs last year, I think from Michaels,

so they are hanging from the faux pussy willows and branches.

I'm hoping my lanterns will qualify as "cloches",

 and I did "Spring-ify" them this week.

these two are in the Entry.

And this fella is nibbling on the hallway sideboard.

He's a porcelain sweetheart

you know how it goes...

I'll probably find everything just in time for Halloween.

Please tell me that there are others of you out there

that have had this happen to you.
