WELCOME SPRING

Welcome Spring

Every year I look forward to Spring and pulling out my collection of Beatrix Potter. Books, figurines, musical pieces, the ceramic house, teapot and place settings. Today, the first day of spring I set a table for two.

Using a table topper from my sweet friend Sarah at Hyacinths For the Soul, sets the garden theme.

Willow, an ivy topiary, is a gift from my dear sister Iris. She is the perfect centerpiece for this table setting.  Her skirt of ivy has grown a lot since I first introduced her here.  She stands on a bed of grass surrounded with Beatrix Potter ornaments.

The Peter Rabbit by Wedgewood stack sits on top of an Anthropologie dinner plate, Grace

 

Scattered around the table are some of my favorite  figurines and musical pieces

I will enjoy this table for a few days then all my little friends will be displayed throughout my home through Easter

Check back to see more Spring and lots of Easter vignettes.

MY EASTER TREE

Decorating an Easter Tree

Easter is being celebrated a little different this year but it will be celebrated. Usually we would have all or some of our family here and I would be busy with a menu plan, setting a table in the dining room and unpacking a lot of bunnies. This year I have set a table for two in the breakfast room since Alabama has a "stay at home" plan in effect and my family won't be able to travel here. I will miss them terribly but the most important thing is they stay safe. I did enjoy pulling my Beatrix Potter collectibles out and used music boxes, figurines and Peter Rabbit place settings here if you missed it. All the bunnies remain packed away but I wanted to use the Beatrix Potter ornaments. I needed a tree. I would love to have a pastel color or white tree but nothing like that in my stash. But, I do have a

Patience Brewster Krinkles tabletop Christmas tree.  

Umm, it has high heel elf shoes and they are red! Definitely won't do. I am low on all craft supplies and ribbons but I found a small roll of pretty light lavender ribbon,

I always loved this color for spring and Easter. Not enough to do the entire tree but I wrapped every

other branch to give it a spring look. Then I though what shall I do about the shoes! I have Easter grass, perfect. 

Beatrix Potter Ornaments

Some of these were gifts I gave to my Mother

in law and she returned them back to me when she started to down size. 

Jay Strongwater Ornaments

These were gifts from my sister

Pottery Barn Eggs

 These are some of my favorite collectibles, they are just so sweet. My Easter tree was fun to decorate and I've enjoyed having it on the kitchen island. It's nice to use this little tree again, not just for Christmas. It was a Christmas gift from my son and daughter in law.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will leave a comment, it's the only way I know you were here.
