Gardening Day for Easter

This time of year I'm always desperate for something "green". After months of gray skies and brown grass, I ran to Lowe's last week for a little garden "fix". I found these wonderful yellow tulips and bought some for myself and both of the girls who we will see tomorrow, Easter Sunday.

If you look closely you'll see

I'm not the only one enjoying them.

Right now I have them in the sunroom

in an old ice cream maker bucket,

 but as soon as the bloom is gone

I'll be planting them out front.

Hope you have a wonderful Easter!

Today, I'm linking up with Stacey
from the Blessed Nest
for her Green Thumb Gardening Day.

Easter Cloches

I hope you can stand enjoy

just one more Easter Decor post.

I didn't realize I had so many things,

 until I started going through

my cupboards and bringing it all out.

You all know I'm just a "Holiday" kind a gal.

I've been saving a few little friends

 for the Cloche Party at Marty's.

I found these at a friend's booth

 at Spring Creek a few weeks ago.

Old chalk Easter rabbits and a chicken.

I scooped them all up as she was just putting them out.

Oh yeah, right place, right time!

This is my German glass glitter rabbit that I found

a few weeks ago at my friend Kristi's space

(you'll get to meet her soon)

I had to buy three,

one each for my daughters...

and of course one for moi.

He's one of my new Favorite Things.

and of course "Sweetface" has to be

 included in every Cloche Party.

He's a little spoiled, you know what I mean?

I couldn't leave him out of Show and Tell!

And of course Spring isn't Spring

unless I have a bird-nest...

(or ten)

I stacked my wire flower frogs up,

then thought they looked like a wedding cake.

This little fella appears to have been

trapped by a Bird Nest cloche.

Hope he has some chocolate in his little basket.

I might let him loose for that!

And to celebrate Good Friday and Easter,

I have my Vintage Black Bible

 from my grade school years.

with a bottle I altered.

(here's the Royal Treatment Give Away Crown!)

I'm linking up for Marty's Cloche Party

Jill's Vintage Black Friday

at The French Cupboard

Cindy's Show and Tell

And Laurie's A Few of My Favorite Things.

Easter Decor Day on White Wednesday

All the white Easter Decor is showing off today.

I found this wonderful vintage-look bunny plaque

at one of my favorite stores,

 Inspirational Home.

And here is one of my flock

from the Dining Room.

This old print in the original frame is called

"Rabbit's Snowy Day".

Oh My Gosh, look at their tails!

The gang's all here!

And my "Holiday Cupboard" that gets dressed

in whatever holiday that is at hand.

This month it's filled with white Easter decor.

Love my little Velveteen Rabbit.
He looks a little shy.

These poor babies have had all their ears

broken off, one time or another.

And more woolly, happy sheep.

Today, I'm linking up with my must-do party,

White Wednesday
with the wonderful Kathleen from Faded Charm.

And today is Easter Decor Day

with Lynette.

And if you haven't entered my

Royal Treatment Giveaway

Hope everyone's weather is sunshine,

Have a wonderful Easter Week!

You may be thinking,

"Didn't she just have a give-away?"

Well, yes, I did.

But I'm going to start doing smaller ones frequently

so I can share some wonderful finds and talent.

 

Last year I fell in love with these

oh so sweet, handmade,

one-of-a-kind

crowns,

and I wanted to share one with you.

Just 'cause I love you all so much!

I thought you might enjoy having

The Royal Treatment.

With one of my favorite crowns,

adorned with vintage bling,

 pearls, and some glitz.

Here I have it on a candle holder as a candle cloche.

I've used mine in so many vignettes for every season.

The give away includes Italian note cards,

and my favorite Gardenia goat's milk soap

found at Inspirational Home.

This is my sweet friend Kenda,

the gal behind the crowns

And these are from her lovely space

The French Rose

at Leola's in Ozark.

Kenda creates her crowns

in pink, blue, gold and silver,

each with her signature

 vintage jewelry bling.

So if you are ever in Southwest Missouri

Blog World's Longest Running Give Away

Do I have your attention?

OK, well it might not be the world's longest, but I can tell you it will be one of the best!!   My  BBBFF, (best bloggy bud friend forevah)

Anne from  Fiona and Twig 

is having an awesome giveaway. Am I the only person that loves the word "Awesome"?

OK, it's a FABULOUS Give Away

that's been in the works for awhile!

Anne is hobnobing with all the beautiful people at Warrenton this week and I'm stuck in the Midwest with the "I can't help it's". That's my term for whining and fussing because I'm not down there, too. She's been a fabulous friend because she gets me on the phone and then shoves it in someone's face and says "here's my poor friend, she's sad cause she's not here, so tell her Hi". So far it's worked great because I've gotten to talk to Sweet T, the Trash Diva, TOT, and Thee Mindy and her sidekick. I almost got to talk to RNC but I was in the bathroom and couldn't make it to the phone. waaah, waaah.

Now, If you've not signed up, all you have to do is go over to Anne's blog and join as a follower. That's it.

 And if you don't know Anne,

(OK, I couldn't resist, this was when she was 3)

then you're missing out on one of the funniest, sweetest, prettiest, and most talented people out here in the Blogosphere!

Anne is collecting an array of vintage surprises on her trip, so along with French ephemera, linens, and anything and everything that she may accumulate, I can tell you it will be one AWESOME Giveaway!

She'll be home in a couple of days so surprise her, and then the rest of the blog world can sign on.

Now, a shameless plug for me...

Come back tomorrow

because I'm starting a give away

that will jewel and bedazzle you.

 I've been excited to get it started, so...

see ya tomorrow!

love,
Debra
